space group. The structure consists of a CuCl layer and an organic bilayer in which the molecular axis of the cyanoanilinium is nearly perpendicular to the inorganic layer. At the middle of the organic bilayer, there is a layer of the CN group, in which the CN groups are arranged to cancel their electric dipoles. The compound 2 has a similar structure to that of 1. The crystal of 3 belongs to the orthorhombic Pbca space group, in which the structure also consists of an inorganic layer and an organic bilayer. The bilayer is formed by short contacts between the NO2 groups, which appear to incline the molecular axis of the nitroanilinium with respect to the normal to the CuCl layer. AC and DC magnetic susceptibility measurements were carried out on the three salts. Their behavior can be understood with two parameters, ferromagnetic transition temperature T-c and in-plane ferromagnetic coupling constant J. The obtained parameters are T-c=9.5 K and J/k(B)=24 K for 1, T-c=9.1 K and J/k(B)=23 K for 2, and T-c=7.0 K and J/k(B)=17 K for 3. The values of T-c and J of 3 are smaller than those of the other two. The distortion of the molecular arrangement in the organic layer of 3, is found to result in weakening the magnetic interaction in the CuCl layer.
