Uncompensated magnetization in the layered molecular antiferromagnet {N(n-C5H11)4[MnIIFeIII(ox)3]}∞

Abstract Studies on the magnetic properties of the molecular antiferromagnetic material {N( n -C 5 H 11 ) 4 [Mn II Fe III (ox) 3 ]} ∞ , carried out by various physical techniques (AC/DC magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, heat capacity measurements and Mossbauer spectroscopy) at low temperatures, have been presented. Different experimental observations complement each other and provide a clue for the observation of an uncompensated magnetization below the Neel temperature and short-range correlations persisting high above T N . It is understood that the honeycomb layered structure of the compound contains non-equivalent magnetic sub-lattices, (Mn II –ox–Fe III A –...) and (Mn II –ox–Fe …
