Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the given information about the vectors and their relationships.

### Step 1: Understand the given information
We have three vectors \( \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} \) such that:
1. The scalar triple product \( [\vec{a} \, \vec{b} \, \vec{c}] = 1 \)
2. \( \vec{c} = \lambda (\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \)
3. The angle between \( \vec{c} \) and \( \vec{b} \) is \( \frac{2\pi}{3} \)
4. The magnitudes are \( |\vec{a}| = \sqrt{2} \), \( |\vec{b}| = \sqrt{3} \), and \( |\vec{c}| = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \)

### Step 2: Find \( \lambda \)
Taking the dot product of \( \vec{c} \) with itself, we have:
\[ \vec{c} \cdot \vec{c} = |\vec{c}|^2 = \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{3} \]
Also, from the expression for \( \vec{c} \):
\[ \vec{c} = \lambda (\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \]
Taking the dot product with \( \vec{c} \):
\[ \vec{c} \cdot \vec{c} = \lambda^2 |\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|^2 \]
From the scalar triple product:
\[ [\vec{a} \, \vec{b} \, \vec{c}] = \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) = 1 \]
This implies:
\[ \lambda = \frac{1}{|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|^2} \]

### Step 3: Find the magnitude of \( \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \)
Using the formula for the magnitude of the cross product:
\[ |\vec{a} \times \vec{b}| = |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| \sin \theta \]
where \( \theta \) is the angle between \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \).

### Step 4: Relate \( \vec{c} \) and \( \vec{b} \)
The angle between \( \vec{c} \) and \( \vec{b} \) is given as \( \frac{2\pi}{3} \):
\[ \vec{c} \cdot \vec{b} = |\vec{c}| |\vec{b}| \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) \]
Calculating:
\[ \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) = -\frac{1}{2} \]
Thus:
\[ \vec{c} \cdot \vec{b} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{3} \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = -\frac{1}{2} \]

### Step 5: Substitute \( \vec{c} \)
Substituting \( \vec{c} \):
\[ \lambda (\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{b} = -\frac{1}{2} \]
Since \( \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \) is perpendicular to \( \vec{b} \), this simplifies to:
\[ 0 = -\frac{1}{2} \]
This indicates that we need to find \( \lambda \) correctly.

### Step 6: Calculate \( \lambda \)
Using the earlier derived equations:
\[ \frac{1}{3} = \lambda |\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|^2 \]
Substituting \( |\vec{a} \times \vec{b}| = \sqrt{2 \cdot 3 \cdot \sin^2 \theta} \):
\[ \frac{1}{3} = \lambda (2 \cdot 3 \cdot \sin^2 \theta) \]
From the earlier steps, we know \( \lambda = \frac{1}{3} \).

### Step 7: Solve for \( \sin^2 \theta \)
Equating gives:
\[ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 6 \cdot \sin^2 \theta \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 1 = 6 \sin^2 \theta \implies \sin^2 \theta = \frac{1}{6} \]

### Step 8: Find \( \theta \)
Taking the square root:
\[ \sin \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \implies \theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\right) \]

### Conclusion
The angle between \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \) is \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} \).
