Magnetism of coupled spin tetrahedra in ilinskite-type KCu(5)O(2)(SeO(3))(2)Cl(3)

Synthesis, thermodynamic properties, and microscopic magnetic model of ilinskite-type KCu(5)O(2)(SeO(3))(2)Cl(3) built by corner-sharing Cu(4) tetrahedra are reported, and relevant magnetostructural correlations are discussed. Quasi-one-dimensional magnetic behavior with the short-range order around...

Sumario:Synthesis, thermodynamic properties, and microscopic magnetic model of ilinskite-type KCu(5)O(2)(SeO(3))(2)Cl(3) built by corner-sharing Cu(4) tetrahedra are reported, and relevant magnetostructural correlations are discussed. Quasi-one-dimensional magnetic behavior with the short-range order around 50 K is rationalized in terms of weakly coupled spin ladders (tubes) having a complex topology formed upon fragmentation of the tetrahedral network. This fragmentation is rooted in the non-trivial effect of the SeO(3) groups that render the Cu–O–Cu superexchange strongly ferromagnetic even at bridging angles exceeding 110°.
