Crystal structure and magnetic properties of polybis(formamide)bis(mu-formato)cobalt(II): An extended two-dimensional square lattice material which exhibits spontaneous magnetization below 9 K
In the title compound extended sheets of cobalt(II) ions, linked in a square array by bridging formates, couple antiferromagnetically. Spin canting generates residual spin on the sheets, and interaction between the sheets leads to long-range ferromagnetic ordering and spontaneous magnetization below 9 K.
