title: A 3D Co(II) framework with alternating vertex- and edge-sharing Δ-ribbons showing a two-step field-induced magnetic transition.
abstract: A novel 3D framework with vertex- and edge-sharing Δ-ribbons extended by ip(2-) connectors, {[Co(7)(H(2)O)(2)(μ(3)-OH)(4)(atz)(2)(ip)(4)]·5H(2)O}(n) (atz(-) = 5-amino-tetrazolate and ip(2-) = isophthalate), exhibits a two-step field-induced metamagnetic transition from an antiferromagnetic ordering to a weak spontaneous magnetization state by spin-competition at 2.0 KOe, followed by a spin-flop transition at 22.5 KOe.
