Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new 30 cobalt vanadate
Abstract
A new cobalt vanadate compound 1 [Co11(H2O)2 V V2 O6] has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by the elemental analyses and the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pmna, with a=0.55646, b= 1.06900, c= 1.18452 nm, and Z=4. The magnetic susceptibility of the cobalt vanadate has been measured and indicates possible antiferromagnetic coupling between adjacent cobalt (II) (0.5432-0.5697 nm) through bond or space.
