Abstract

The structure, synthesis and magnetic properties of three new complex cobalt hydroxyl oxalates are presented, showing a modification of the 2-D double layer hydroxide structure. Co12(OH)18(ox)3(pip) [ox = oxalate, C2O42?; pip = piperazine, C4N2H10] (1), is essentially built from brucite-like layers with a one ninth depletion of the octahedral sites and a preservation of a trigonal crystallographic symmetry. ACo28(OH)43(ox)6Br2(H2O)2 [A = Na (2), K (3)] are similarly composed of a brucite-like layer with three nineteenths depletion of octahedral sites, again preserving a trigonal symmetry. Both 2 and 3 show a small degree of structural disorder within the framework. All of these compounds have alternating layers of a mineral-like metal hydroxide structure and a metal oxalate coordination network, with the depletion in the hydroxyl layers being templated by the coordination network. Magnetic studies of 1 reveal a metamagnetic character, with the onset of an antiferromagnetic phase below Tc = 23.5 K (H = 0 G), and a first order antiferromagnet to metamagnet transition at Hc = 500–1000 G (T = 20–6 K). Compound 3 shows a more conventional ferrimagnetic ordering below 33(±1) K with a small coercive field of 107(±5) G at 10 K.
