Coexistence of spin frustration and long-range magnetic ordering in a triangular CoII3(μ3-OH)-based two-dimensional compound†
Abstract
A two-dimensional compound [Co3(μ3-OH)2(1,2-chdc)2]∞ (1,2-chdc = trans-1,2-cyclohexane-dicarboxylate) comprising triangular arrays of CoII3(μ3-OH) affording a Kagomé-like lattice exhibits the coexistence of spin frustration and long-range magnetic ordering.
