Searching for helimagnetism in chiral transition metal formates
Our group opened a new research line to treat to design extended magnetic compounds with enhanced DMI. As a first approach we considered the formate-based coordination polymers (FBCP), because in the anionic form, this achiral ligand can induce non-centrosymmetric or chiral nuclear structures, reached by the arrangement around the metal cation. We synthesized single crystals and powder samples based on the formate anion and transition metal cations of formula [AM(HCOO)3]n, with A = Na, K, and M = Mn, Co, Ni, crystallising in chiral space groups P6322 or P213. Preliminary results show the presence of Long-Range magnetic Order (LRO), with Neel temperatures between 10 and 32 K. The goal of this proposal is the refinement and elucidation of the nuclear and magnetic structures of the series of compounds [AM(HCOO)3]n, with A = Na, K, and M = Mn, Co, Ni, by using single crystal and powder neutron diffraction
