Spin-Canting and Metamagnetic Behavior in a New Species from the Hydrothermal Co(II)-trans-3-Pyridylacrylate System
Hydrothermal reaction of CoCl2 with trans-3-pyridylacrylic acid (3-pycaH) and Et3N results in the formation of a new three-dimensional network formulated as [{CO4(mu-H2O)(2)(3-pyca)(8)}(0.94){Co-5(mu(3)-OH)(2)(3-pyca)(8)}(0.06)]. Magnetic measurements reveal that spin-canting and metamagnetic behavior coexist in this compound with a critical temperature at 9.5 K.
