A sample of <em>Biem><em>25em><em>FeOem><em>39em> was synthesized by the molten salts method in 2 h at 750 °C with <em>KCl-KBrem> as reaction media. The sample was characterized with X-ray powder diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction confirms that a sillenite type structure with a cell parameter <em>aem>=10.190(4) Å was achieved, with only small traces of <em>Biem><em>2em><em>Oem><em>3em>. In order to get a Mössbauer spectrum with a good signal to noise ratio, the synthesis was made using 95% enriched <em>α–em><em>57em><em>Feem><em>2em><em>Oem><em>3em>. To our knowledge, this is the first time that a Mössbauer spectrum for the <em>Biem><em>25em><em>FeOem><em>39em> has been recorded. The nonappearance of a magnetic sextet confirms its paramagnetic behavior. The measured Mössbauer parameters (IS=0.20±0.004 mm/s and QS=0.2±0.07 mm/s) correspond to Fe+3 in very symmetric surroundings, and rule out some interpretations given to the doublet observed in some Mössbauer spectra of <em>BiFeOem><em>3em>.
