Polycrystalline samples of Sr3Co2-xZnxFe24O41 (x = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) were synthesized by a polymerizable complex method. The crystallographic, and magnetic properties of samples were investigated using x-ray diffractometer (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The crystal structures of all samples were determined to be hexagonal with the space group P63/mmc. The hysteresis curves under 10 kOe at 295 K showed that all samples were not saturated due to the high planar anisotropy of Sr ions. In addition, the coercivity (Hc) of samples decreased with increasing Zn ion contents. Mössbauer spectra of all samples were obtained at 295 K, and least-squares fitted below TC as six distinguishable sextets (4fIV, 4fIV*, 12kVI*, 4fVI*+ 4eIV, 12kVI, and 2dV + 2aVI + 4fVI + 4eVI).
