title: MH2P2O7 (M = Co, Ni): metamagnetic interaction between the zigzag octahedral chains.
abstract: CoH2P2O7 and NiH2P2O7, which contain edge-sharing zigzag octahedral chains, were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Both compounds exhibit field-induced metamagnetic behavior because of the strong intrachain ferromagnetic and relatively weak interchain antiferromagnetic interactions.
