The superposition model has been used to investigate the substitution of Mn^{2+} in ammonium oxalate monohydrate. The zero field splitting parameters D and E calculated by the superposition model are compared with the experimental values D_{exp} and E_{exp}, respectively, for Mn^{2+} obtained by electron paramagnetic resonance. Both the zero field splitting parameters D and E calculated theoretically are in good agreement with the experimental values D_{exp} and E_{exp}. The result indicates that the Mn^{2+} ion substitutes for the NH_4^{+} ion in ammonium oxalate monohydrate.
