Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of an amine-templated Mn2+ (S = 5/2) sulfate with the Kagome structure.
In pursuit of a compound with the Kagome structure, formed by a non-Fe(3+) transitional metal ion with a spin of 5/2, we have synthesized an amine-templated Mn(2+) sulfate under solvothermal conditions. This compound with a perfect Kagome structure shows evidence for antiferromagnetic interactions with no long-range order.
