Structure and Magnetic Properties of a Chiral Two‐Dimensional Ferrimagnet with <i>T</i>_C of 38 K

Abstract

Large single crystals of the chiral ferrimagnet [{Cr(CN)6}{Mn(S)-pnH(H2O)}](H2O) can be recovered from the reaction between K3[Cr(CN)6], Mn(ClO4)2, and (S)-1,2-diaminopropane dihydrochloride (see picture). Magnetic measurements of the complex show that MnII and CrIII ions interact ferrimagnetically, with a magnetic transition occurring at 38 K.
