Abstract
A novel pyrophosphate Na7Ni3Fe(P2O7)4 was synthesized in two distinct forms, single-crystal and powder. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was used to determine the crystal structure, and powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to examine the purity and morphology of the elaborated powder. This phosphate crystallizes in the P1¯ space group of the triclinic system with a = 6.3677 (2) Å, b = 9.3316 (4) Å, c = 10.8478 (4) Å, α = 65.191 (1)°, β = 80.533 (1)° and γ = 73.042 (1)°. The crystal framework is assembled from the linkage of centro-symmetrical clusters Ni2(Ni/Fe)2P4O28. Each cluster consists of two (Fe1/Ni1)O6 octahedra, two Ni2O6 octahedra and two P2O7 units. The linkage of these clusters is provided by two other P2O7 units to generate a three-dimensional structure with distinct tunnels in the [100], [010] and [001] directions, housing the Na+ cations. The infrared and Raman analyses show the characteristic bands of the pyrophosphate anion P2O74−. Remarkably, the magnetic investigations revealed the coexistence of two magnetic transitions at ~29 K and ~4.5 K with dominating antiferromagnetic interactions.
期刊介绍:
Magnetochemistry (ISSN 2312-7481) is a unique international, scientific open access journal on molecular magnetism, the relationship between chemical structure and magnetism and magnetic materials. Magnetochemistry publishes research articles, short communications and reviews. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
