Abstract
In this communication, we reinvestigate the structural
and magnetic properties of the title compound
K
2Mn
3(H
2O)
6[ Mo(CN)
7]
6H
2O. We
show that this material crystallises in the space group
C2/c (monoclinic no.15),
instead of
C2 (monoclinic no.5) reported by J. Larianova et al.
in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 121
(1999) 3349 - 3356. The C2/c and C2 unit cells are closely related. The
presence of an inversion center in the C2/c unit cell implies the doubling
of the
c parameter in comparison to the
C2 unit cell. Magnetic measurements
show a transition from a paramagnetic state to a ferrimagnetic ordered state
at 39 K, in agreement to neutron diffraction experiments.
Key words. X-ray diffraction - Ferrimagnet -
Heptacyanomolybdenate.
