A combination of organic and inorganic cations in the synthesis of transition metal nitrates: preparation and characterization of canted rectangular Ising antiferromagnet (PyH)CsCo₂(NO₃)₆

Abstract

Pyridinium cesium cobalt nitrate, (PyH)CsCo2(NO3)6, is a quasi-two-dimensional Ising magnet, which undergoes a long-range antiferromagnetic ordering. The use of both organic and inorganic cations is a promising way to search for new magnetic materials.
