Exploring the magnetic structure of Manganese(II) thiocyanate, Mn(SCN)2
The study of two-dimensional magnetic compounds is a contemporary addition to the ever-growing field of magnetic materials. Layered molecular structures are enticing as a result of their inherent chemical diversity, however, identified 2D magnetic molecular structures are remain uncommon. Binary transition metal thiocyanates, M(SCN)2 are a series of isomorphic materials adopting layered structures, which exhibit long range order at low temperatures. Despite the appeal of these frameworks, structural and magnetic data thus far has only been collected through powder diffraction data. Recently we have managed, for the first time, to obtain single crystal samples, Mn(SCN)2, of up to 8x5x3 mm3 in volume. Here, we propose a deeper exploration of Mn(SCN)2 to determine its magnetic structure using single crystal neutron diffraction. The experiment aims to understand the conflicting magnetic pathways within the framework and will help the design of future families of low-dimensional magnetic molecular frameworks.
