Interpenetrating‐Lattice‐Structured Magnets Exhibiting Anomalous Magnetic Properties

Abstract

Abstract Cubic [Ru 2 (O 2 CMe) 4 ] 3 [Cr(CN) 6 ] prepared from water has two interpenetrating lattices and exhibits anomalous magnetic hysteresis, saturation magnetization, out‐of‐phase alternating current (AC) susceptibility, χ″( T ), and zero‐field‐cooled/field‐cooled temperature‐dependent magnetization data with respect to either the material prepared from acetonitrile or the layered two‐dimensional (2D) [Ru 2 (O 2 CBu t ) 4 ] 3 [Cr(CN) 6 ] · 2 H 2 O prepared from water. These unexpected properties are attributed to the presence of the interpenetrating lattices and reveal that, albeit uncommon, interpenetrating‐lattice‐structured materials can stabilize new cooperative magnetic behavior.
