Abstract

Na2Ti3Cl8 is a temperature-dependent magnetic switch. The switching process (= phase transition) takes places below room temperature and is accompanied by a drastic decrease in magnetic susceptibility and molar volume. The transition is attributed to the formation of [Ti3]6+ clusters (see diagram) by two-dimensional Peierl's distortion within [TiCl4/2Cl2/3]2− layers.
