Determination of the magnetic structures of the noncollinear magnet CsCo(NCS)3
Dense coordination polymers combine the functional properties typical of the traditional inorganic solid state, such as magnetism, with the remarkable tunability and flexibility that arises for the incorporation of molecular components. They therefore offer the opportunity to discover unusual behaviour that arises from the coupling these properties. Thiocyanate compounds have the potential for rich optical and magnetic properties, but both their chemistry and magnetism remain comparatively unexplored. CsCo(NCS)3 is a non-collinear antiferromagnet which shows significant magnetic hysteresis and multiple magnetic phase transitions. It adopts a layered structure related to the unusual beta-LaYbS3 structure type, with a pseudo 2D-rectangular magnetic lattice, but both its ground state and the intermediate ordered phase remain unknown. This study aims to identify these magnetic structures and, combined with the already determined CsMn(NCS)3 and the proposed CsNi(NCS)3 structure, to rationalise their magnetic behaviour.
