A series of Fe-substituted manganites Bi0.5Ca0.5FexMn1−xO3 (0≤x≤0.6) was synthesized by ceramic technology. The crystal lattice parameters change monotonically with increasing Fe substitution for Mn as found from x-ray powder diffraction and neutron diffraction investigations at room temperature. Magnetic properties were studied between 5 and 1300 K in fields up to 16 kOe. All the compounds are antiferromagnetic below a certain temperature, which decreases with increasing Fe substitution, and for x≥0.1 the antiferromagnetism is accompanied by a weak ferromagnetism. The charge/orbital order exists in the pure form for the compounds without or with very low Fe substitution (x = 0 and 0.05). A new magnetic cluster state exists in the paramagnetic region of manganites with Fe substitution x≥0.3, but only in the presence of magnetic field. The conductivity of compounds measured between 100 and 600 K is of semiconducting type, and there is no magnetoresistivity effect in fields up to 7 kOe.
