Influences of alkaline earth metal substitution on the crystal structure and physical properties of magnetic RuSr1.9A0.1GdCu2O8 (A = Ca, Sr, and Ba) superconductors

We have investigated the effect of alkaline earth metal substitution on the crystal structure and physical properties of magnetic superconductors RuSr(1.9)A(0.1)GdCu(2)O(8) (A = Ca, Sr, and Ba) in order to probe an interaction between the magnetic coupling of the RuO(2) layer and the superconductivity of the CuO(2) layer. X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopic analyses demonstrate that the isovalent substitution of Sr ions with Ca or Ba ions makes it possible to tune the interlayer distance between the CuO(2) and the RuO(2) layers. From the measurements of electrical resistance and magnetic susceptibility, it was found that, in contrast to negligible change of magnetization, both of the alkaline earth metal substitutions lead to a notable depression of zero-resistance temperature T(c) (DeltaT(c) approximately 17-19 K). On the basis of the absence of a systematic correlation between the T(c) and the interlayer distance/magnetization, we have concluded that the internal magnetic field of the RuO(2) layer has insignificant influence on the superconducting property of the CuO(2) layer in the ruthenocuprate.     

Influence of Ru doping on the structure, defect chemistry, magnetic interaction, and carrier motion of the La(1-x)Na(x)MnO(3+delta) manganite

In this work, we report a structural, electrical, and magnetic characterization of the La(1-x)Na(x)Mn(1-y)Ru(y)O(3+delta) (LNMRO) system with x = 0.05 and 0.15 and y = 0, 0.05, and 0.15, also comprising an investigation of the role of the oxygen content on the related redox properties. The experimental investigation has been realized with the aid of X-ray powder diffraction, electron microprobe analysis, thermogravimetry, electrical resistivity and magnetization measurements, and electron paramagnetic resonance. We demonstrate that the effect of ruthenium doping on the studied LNMRO compounds is not only directly related to the Ru/Mn substitution and to the Ru oxidation state but also indirectly connected to the oxygen content in the sample. Our data show that ruthenium addition can "improve" electrical and magnetic properties of nonoptimally (low) cation-doped manganites, causing an increase of the T(C) value and the insurgence of magnetoresistance effect, as observed for the x = 0.05 and y = 0.05 sample (MR congruent with 60% at 7 T and at approximately 260 K).     

Synthesis and characterization of (3,1) Ru2(F3ap)4(NCS) and (3,1) Ru2(F3ap)3(F2Oap)(NCS) where F3ap is the 2-(2,4,6-trifluoroanilino)pyridinate anion

Two isothiocyanate diruthenium complexes, (3,1) Ru2(F3ap)4(NCS) 1 and (3,1) Ru2(F3ap)3(F2Oap)(NCS)2 (where F3ap=2,4,6-trifluoroanilinopyridinate anion), were synthesized from (3,1) Ru2(F3ap)4Cl and SCN(-) under different experimental conditions. Each compound was examined as to its structural, electrochemical, spectroscopic, and magnetic properties. Compound 1 contains three unpaired electrons as its parent compound but 2 is diamagnetic. The X-ray molecular structures of 1 and 2 reveal that the NCS group is coordinated to the dimetal unit via nitrogen in both compounds with the Ru-N-C bond angle being 176.5 degrees for 1 and 166.0 degrees for 2. An elongation of the Ru-Ru bond distance and a shortening of both the Ru-Np (p=pyridyl) and the Ru-Na (a=anilino) bond lengths is seen upon going from (3,1) Ru2(F3ap)4Cl to 2, but the conversion of (3,1) Ru2(F3ap)4Cl to 1 does not affect significantly structural features of the Ru2(L) 4 framework. Compound 1 undergoes one reduction and two oxidations, all three of which involve the dimetal core, whereas 2 undergoes two metal-centered reductions, one metal-centered oxidation, and one ligand-based oxidation due to the presence of the F2Oap ligand on the Ru2 complex. The reactivity of 1 with SCN(-) was also investigated.     

Synthesis, structures, and magnetic properties of heteronuclear Cu(II)-Ln(III) (Ln = La, Gd, or Tb) complexes

Facile one-pot reactions led to the formations of dinuclear [CuLn(hmp)2(NO3)3(H2O)2] (Ln = Tb (1.Tb), Gd (1.Gd), or La (1.La)), and trinuclear [Cu2Ln(mmi)4(NO3)(H2O)2](ClO4)(NO3).2H2O (Ln = Tb (2.Tb) or Gd (2.Gd)) and [Cu2La(mmi)4(NO3)2(H2O)](ClO4).2H2O (2.La) with polydentate ligands 2-(hydroxymethyl)-pyridine and 2-hydroxymethyl-1-methyl-imidazole. In these complexes, each pair of Cu(II) and Ln(III) ions is linked by a double mu-alkoxo bridge. The temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibilities of 1 and 2 were investigated in the range of 2-300 K. The dinuclear and trinuclear Cu-Gd complexes exhibit ferromagnetic interaction. The coupling constant J values in the heterodinuclear Cu-Gd complexes are correlated to values of the dihedral angles alpha between the two O-Cu-O and O-Gd-O fragments of the bridging CuO2Gd networks, with the largest J value associated with the smallest alpha value. The occurrence of a ferromagnetic interaction between Cu(II) and Gd(III) ions of the trinuclear entity is supported by the field dependence of the magnetization. The field dependence of the magnetization at 2 K of 1.Gd and 2.Gd confirms the nature of the ground state and of the Cu(II)-Gd(III) interaction, while alternating current susceptibility measurements demonstrates out-of-phase ac susceptibility signals of 1.Tb, which is the molecule-based magnetic material of the smallest nuclearity which exhibits frequency-dependent behavior within the 3d-4f mixed-metal systems.     

New perovskite materials of the La(2-x)Sr(x)CoTiO6 series

Substitution of La(3+) by Sr(2+) in the double perovskite La(2)CoTiO(6) yields materials of the La(2-x)Sr(x)CoTiO(6) series showing a significant amount of trivalent cobalt ions when prepared at ambient atmosphere. The as-prepared compounds can be reduced in severe conditions retaining the perovskite structure while inducing the formation of a large amount of oxygen vacancies. The limit of aliovalent substitution in this series was found to extend up to x = 1. For substitution of La(3+) up to 15% cobalt and titanium are ordered, though the order is progressively lost as x increases; for x≥ 0.30 no ordering is observed as evidenced by magnetic measurements. The ability of these materials to present either cobalt ions in a mixed oxidation state or large amounts of anion vacancies depending on the atmosphere makes them interesting to be further investigated regarding their electrical and electrochemical properties, and hence, their usefulness in some electrochemical devices.     

Bis(acetonitrile)bis(acetylacetonato)ruthenium(III) mediated chemical transformations of coordinated 2-methylthioanilide

Chemical reaction of [Ru(III)(acac)(2)(CH(3)CN)(2)]ClO(4) (1) with 2-methylthioaniline, HL(1) in ethanol under basic conditions yielded three new complexes Ru(II)(acac)(2)(L(1b)) (1b), (L(1b) = 4-imino-3-(methylsulfanyl)cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-one), Ru(III)(acac)(2)(L(1c)) (1c), (HL(1c) = N-(2-methylthiophenyl)formamide) and (acac)(2)Ru(II)(μ-L(1d))Ru(II)(acac)(2) (1d), (L(1d) = 1,4-bis(2-methylthioaniline)-1,4-diazabutadiene) via the intermediate Ru(III)(acac)(2)(L(1a)) (1a, L(1a) = (L(1))(-) = 2-methylthioanilide). The reaction proceeded through temperature induced valence tautomerisation between the Ru(III) center and its 2-methylthioanilide counterpart in 1a with concomitant reduction of ruthenium from +III to +II oxidation state and oxidation of ligand L(1a), resulting in aromatic ring hydroxylation, N-formylation and C-C bond formation reactions. All the complexes have been characterised by their single-crystal X-ray structure determination and various spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The identity of complex 1a has been confirmed by X-ray crystal structure determination of complex 2, a phenyl analogue of complex 1a. The complexes (1a-d) showed intense charge transfer (MLCT/LMCT) transition in the long wavelength region. The paramagnetic compounds, 1a and 1c, along with the diamagnetic compound 1b showed two one-electron responses in the ranges, -0.4 to -1.0 V and 0.3 to 1.1 V. The diamagnetic complex 1d displayed two successive one-electron reversible reductions (-1.31 and -1.55 V) and two one-electron reversible oxidation processes (-0.036 and 0.51 V). The redox processes are characterized by EPR spectroscopy and spectroelectrochemistry. The compound 1c has been found to exhibit solvatochromism and concentration dependent aggregation in solution.

Crystal growth, structure, and physical properties of LnCu2(Al,Si)5 (Ln = La and Ce)

LnCu(2)(Al,Si)(5) (Ln = La and Ce) were synthesized and characterized. These compounds adopt the SrAu(2)Ga(5) structure type and crystallize in the tetragonal space group P4/mmm with unit cell dimensions of a ≈ 4.2 ? and c ≈ 7.9 ?. Herein, we report the structure as obtained from single crystal X-ray diffraction. Additionally, we report the magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, resistivity, and specific heat capacity data obtained for polycrystalline samples of LnCu(2)(Al,Si)(5) (Ln = La and Ce).     

Structures and magnetism of two novel heptanuclear lanthanide-centered trigonal prismatic clusters: [LnCu6(mu 3-OH)3(HL)2(L)4](ClO4)2.25H2O (Ln = La, Tb; H2L = iminodiacetic acid)

The new heteronuclear iminodiacetic acid (H2L) complexes [LnCu6(mu 3-OH)3(HL)2(L)4](ClO4)(2).25H2O with Ln = La (1) and Tb (2) have been prepared in aqueous solution and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction to be isomorphous (crystallographic data for 1 and 2: hexagonal, P63/m; a = b = 12.6425(14) A, c = 24.541(5) A, Z = 2 (1); a = b = 12.5802(9) A, c = 24.285(4) A, Z = 2 (2)). Ln3+ was found to be located in the center of the trigonal prismatic cage formed by six Cu2+ ions, with a tricapped trigonal prismatic coordination environment of nine O atoms. The magnetic properties of complexes 1 and 2 have been studied. The results indicate the presence of ferromagnetic couplings between Tb3+ and Cu2+ in compound 2.     

Structural and magnetic properties of hexagonal perovskites La1.2Sr2.7MO7.33 (M = Ru, Ir) containing peroxide ions

The structures of the new compound La(1.2)Sr(2.7)IrO(7.33) and the recently discovered La(1.2)Sr(2.7)RuO(7.33) have been solved using a combination of X-ray and neutron diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the trigonal space group Rm and consist of isolated MO6 (M = Ru, Ir) octahedra, which are arranged in well-defined hexagonal perovskite slabs. These slabs are separated by (Sr2O(1+delta)) layers containing both O2- and (O2)2- ions. The composition can therefore be written as La(1.2)Sr(2.7)MO(7-delta)(O2)delta with delta = 0.33. Results of the magnetic susceptibility and XANES measurements show that the transition metal cations are in a pentavalent state. While in La(1.2)Sr(2.7)RuO(7.33) an antiferromagnetic interaction between the Ru5+ ions is found, La(1.2)Sr(2.7)IrO(7.33) shows a very small temperature-independent paramagnetism down to 1.8 K due to the strong spin-orbit coupling characteristic for the 5d element iridium.     

Investigation of the crystal structure and the structural and magnetic properties of SrCu2(PO4)2

SrCu2(PO4)2 was prepared by the solid-state method at 1153 K. Its structure was solved by direct methods in the space group Pccn (No. 56) with Z = 8 from synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data measured at room temperature. Structure parameters were then refined by the Rietveld method to obtain the lattice parameters, a = 7.94217(8) A, b = 15.36918(14) A, and c = 10.37036(10) A. SrCu2(PO4)2 presents a new structure type and is built up from Sr2O16 and Cu1Cu2O8 units with Cu1...Cu2 = 3.256 A. The magnetic properties of SrCu2(PO4)2 were investigated by magnetic susceptibility, magnetization up to 65 T, Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR), electron-spin resonance, and specific heat measurements. With spin-dimer analysis, it was shown that the two strongest spin-exchange interactions between Cu sites result from the Cu1-O...O-Cu2 and Cu2-O...O-Cu2 super-superexchange paths with Cu1...Cu2 = 5.861 A and Cu2...Cu2 = 5.251 A, and the superexchange associated with the structural dimer Cu1Cu2O8 is negligible. The magnetic susceptibility data were analyzed in terms of a linear four-spin cluster model, Cu1-Cu2-Cu2-Cu1 with -2J(1)/kB = 82.4 K for Cu1-Cu2 and -2J(2)/k(B) = 59 K for Cu2-Cu2. A spin gap deduced from this model (Delta/kB = 63 K) is in agreement with that obtained from the Cu NQR data (Delta/kB = 65 K). A one-half magnetization plateau was observed between approximately 50 and 63 T at 1.3 K. Specific heat data show that SrCu2(PO4)2 does not undergo a long-range magnetic ordering down to 0.45 K. SrCu2(PO4)2 melts incongruently at 1189 K. We also report its vibrational properties studied with Raman spectroscopy.     

Chemical hydrogenation of La(Fe,Si) family of intermetallic compounds

In the present work, the chemical hydrogenation process of La(Fe,Si)₁₃ compounds has been shown. It was found, that the La(Fe,Si) compound can be easily saturated with hydrogen by performing reaction with 0.6 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) for 2 h. After reaction, the heat treatment process is necessary to make hydrogenated powder homogenous. For the LaFe_11.8Si_1.2 micronized (<50 μm) and hydrogenated powder, the strength of the magnetocaloric effect was estimated by means of magnetocalorimetric measurements on plates consolidated with PVDF thermoplastic polymer. Magnetic entropy change was calculated by use of magnetization data acquired at magnetic fields with induction up to 2T. The adiabatic temperature change is equal to 3 K in magnetic field change 0–1.7T at 335 K, while magnetic entropy change is equal 13 J/kg*K at 2T. The structural homogeneity of initial and hydrogenated powders was validated by powder X-ray diffraction method. The amount of hydrogen in the hydrogenated compounds was evaluated using thermogravimetry method (4 H atoms per formula unit LaFe_11.8Si_1.2).     

Stabilization and study of SrFe(1-x)Mn(x)O2 oxides with infinite-layer structure

A series of layered oxides of nominal composition SrFe(1-x)Mn(x)O(2) (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) have been prepared by the reduction of three-dimensional perovskites SrFe(1-x)Mn(x)O(3-δ) with CaH(2) under mild temperature conditions of 583 K for 2 days. The samples with x = 0, 0.1, and 0.2 exhibit an infinite-layer crystal structure where all of the apical O atoms have been selectively removed upon reduction. A selected sample (x = 0.2) has been studied by neutron powder diffraction (NPD) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Both techniques indicate that Fe and Mn adopt a divalent oxidation state, although Fe(2+) ions are under tensile stress whereas Mn(2+) ions undergo compressive stress in the structure. The unit-cell parameters progressively evolve from a = 3.9932(4) ? and c = 3.4790(4) ? for x = 0 to a = 4.00861(15) ? and c = 3.46769(16) ? for x = 0.2; the cell volume presents an expansion across the series from V = 55.47(1) to 55.722(4) ?(3) for x = 0 and 0.2, respectively, because of the larger effective ionic radius of Mn(2+) versus Fe(2+) in four-fold coordination. Attempts to prepare Mn-rich compositions beyond x = 0.2 were unsuccessful. For SrFe(0.8)Mn(0.2)O(2), the magnetic properties indicate a strong magnetic coupling between Fe(2+) and Mn(2+) magnetic moments, with an antiferromagnetic temperature T(N) above room temperature, between 453 and 523 K, according to temperature-dependent NPD data. The NPD data include Bragg reflections of magnetic origin, accounted for with a propagation vector k = ((1)/(2), (1)/(2), (1)/(2)). A G-type antiferromagnetic structure was modeled with magnetic moments at the Fe/Mn position. The refined ordered magnetic moment at this position is 1.71(3) μ(B)/f.u. at 295 K. This is an extraordinary example where Mn(2+) and Fe(2+) ions are stabilized in a square-planar oxygen coordination within an infinite-layer structure. The layered SrFe(1-x)Mn(x)O(2) oxides are kinetically stable at room temperature, but in air at ~170 °C, they reoxidize and form the perovskites SrFe(1-x)Mn(x)O(3-δ). A cubic phase is obtained upon reoxidation of the layered compound, whereas the starting precursor SrFeO(2.875) (Sr(8)Fe(8)O(23)) was a tetragonal superstructure of perovskite.     

Bipyrimidine-Bridged Mixed-Metal Trimetallic Complexes of Ruthenium(II) with Rhodium(III) or Iridium(III), {[(bpy)(2)Ru(bpm)](2)MCl(2)}(5+)

Bipyrimidine-bridged trimetallic complexes of the form {[(bpy)(2)Ru(bpm)](2)MCl(2)}(5+), where M = Rh(III) or Ir(III), bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, and bpm = 2,2'-bipyrimidine, have been synthesized and characterized. These complexes are of interest in that they couple catalytically active rhodium(III) and iridium(III) metals with light-absorbing ruthenium(II) metals within a polymetallic framework. Their molecular composition is a light absorber-electron collector-light absorber core of a photochemical molecular device (PMD) for photoinitiated electron collection. The variation of the central metal has some profound effects on the observed properties of these complexes. The electrochemical data for the title trimetallics consist of a Ru(II/III) oxidation and sequential reductions assigned to the bipyrimidine ligands, Ir or Rh metal centers, and bipyridines. In both trimetallic complexes, the first oxidation is Ru based and the bridging ligand reductions occur prior to the central metal reduction. This illustrates that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is localized on the ruthenium metal center and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital resides on the bpm ligand. This bpm-based LUMO in {[(bpy)(2)Ru(bpm)](2)RhCl(2)}(5+) is in contrast with that observed for the monometallic [Rh(bpm)(2)Cl(2)](+) where the Rh(III)/Rh(I) reduction occurs prior to the bpm reduction. This orbital inversion is a result of bridge formation upon construction of the trimetallic complex. Both the Ir- and Rh-based trimetallic complexes exhibit a room temperature emission centered at 800 nm with tau = 10 ns. A detailed comparison of the spectroscopic, electrochemical, and spectroelectrochemical properties of these polymetallic complexes is described herein.     

Effect of lanthanum substitution at A site on structure and enhanced properties of new Aurivillius oxide K(0.25)Na(0.25)La(0.5)Bi(2)Nb(2)O(9)

Aurivillius ferroelectrics K(0.25)Na(0.25)La(0.5)Bi(2)Nb(2)O(9) (KNBN-La) and K(0.25)Na(0.25)Bi(2.5)Nb(2)O(9) (KNBN-Bi) were prepared by using solid-state reaction process. Rietveld refinements for the KNBN-La and KNBN-Bi were carried out by using powder X-ray diffraction at room temperature and they were confirmed to be two-layer Aurivillius oxides with orthorhombic space group A2(1)am. The lattice parameters are a = 5.50468(10) ?, b = 5.49217(10) ?, and c = 25.05108(35) ? for KNBN-La and a = 5.48867(6) ?, b = 5.47895(6) ?, and c = 25.10591(25) ? for KNBN-Bi. Lanthanum (La(3+)) substitution for bismuth (Bi(3+)) led to an enhancement in relaxation behavior for the KNBN-La ceramics, with a ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition temperature (T(c)) of about 360 °C. The KNBN-La ceramics had a high remnant polarization (P(r)) of 13.6 μC cm(-2) and a field-induced strain of up to 0.031%. Particularly, the decrease in P(r) for the KNBN-La ceramics after 10(8) cumulative switching cycles was only 6%.     

NMR study of Li+ ion dynamics in the perovskite Li(3x)La(1/3-x)NbO3

(7)Li and (6)Li nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments are carried out on the perovskite Li(3x)La(1/3-x)NbO(3). The results are compared to those obtained on the titanate Li(3x)La(2/3-x)TiO3 (LLTO) in order to investigate the effect, on the lithium ion dynamics, of the total substitution of Nb(5+) for Ti(4+) in the B-site of the ABO(3) perovskites. The XRD patterns analysis reveals that this substitution leads to a change in the distribution of the La(3+) ions in the structure. La(3+) ions distribution is very important, in regard to ionic conductivity, because these immobile ions can be considered as obstacles for the long-range Li+ motion. If compared to the titanates, the compounds of the niobate solid solution have a bigger unit cell volume, a smaller number of La(3+) ions, and a higher number of vacancies. These should favor the motion of the mobile ions into the structure. This is not experimentally observed. Therefore, the interactions between the mobile species and their environment greatly influence their mobility. (7)Li and (6)Li NMR relaxation time experiments reveal that the Li relaxation mechanism is not dominated by quadrupolar interaction. (7)Li NMR spectra reveal the presence of different Li+ ion sites. Some Li+ ions reside in an isotropic environment with no distortion, some others reside in weakly distorted environments. T(1), T(1)(rho), and T(2) experiments allow us to evidence two motions of Li+. As in LLTO, T(1) probes a fast motion of the Li+ ions inside the A-cage of the perovskite structure and T(1)(rho) a slow motion of these ions from A-cage to A-cage. At variance with what has been observed in LLTO, these different Li+ ions can be differentiated through the spin-lattice relaxation times, T(1) and T(1)(rho), as well as through the transverse relaxation time, T(2).     

The mononuclear ruthenium(III)-2,3,5,6-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine complex [Ru(bpy)(tppz)Cl][PF<Subscript>6</Subscript>]<Subscript>2</Subscript>: synthesis,crystal structure,electrochemical, and spectroelectrochemical studies

The mononuclear Ru(III) complex, [Ru(bpy)(tppz)Cl][PF₆]₂.acetylacetone, where tppz is 2,3,5,6-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine and bpy is 2,2′-bipyridine, has been prepared and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods, cyclic voltammetry, and single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The coordination around the Ru(III) center is distorted octahedral, with bite angles of 80.70–161.83° for the chelating bpy and tppz ligands. The two pyridyl rings of the bpy ligand are nearly coplanar. UV–vis spectroelectrochemical studies of this complex in acetonitrile showed a reversible redox behavior evaluated by the maintenance of isosbestic points in the UV–vis spectrum for both forward reduction and reverse oxidation processes. Magnetic susceptibility data derived from paramagnetic NMR data revealed an effective magnetic moment of 1.79 BM at room temperature.     

In situ reduction of copper(II) forming an unusually air stable linear complex of copper(I) with a fluorescent tag

A new fluorescent ligand (phi(f) = 0.8 in dioxane), 2-(4'-aminophthalimidomethyl)pyridine (L), has been synthesized. A one-pot synthesis of its copper(I) complex upon reduction of copper(II) is achieved at room temperature. This complex, which has been characterized by X-ray crystallography, shows a linear N-Cu-N geometry with Cu-N bond lengths of 1.89 A. X-ray structure reveals weak Cu...O interactions between copper and one of the imide oxygen atoms of the ligand framework. Additional weak Cu...O interactions between copper and oxygen atoms of the ClO(4)(-) counteranion are detected that lead to a zigzag polymeric chain with alternate ClO(4)(-) and copper ions. A 2-D intermolecular hydrogen bonding network is also observed. This complex is found to be highly inert toward oxidation both in the solid state and in solution.

Characterization of the crystal and magnetic structures of the mixed-anion coordination polymer Cu(HCO2)(NO3)(pyz) {pyz = Pyrazine} by X-ray diffraction, ac magnetic susceptibility, dc magnetization, muon-spin relaxation, and spin dimer analysis

The mixed-anion coordination polymer Cu(HCO2)(NO3)(pyz) was synthesized, its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction, and its magnetic structure was characterized by ac susceptibility, dc magnetization, muon-spin relaxation, and spin dimer analysis. The crystal structure consists of five-coordinate Cu2+ ions that are connected through syn-anti bridging mu-HCO2- and mu-pyz ligands to form a highly corrugated two-dimensional layered network. Bulk magnetic measurements show a broad maximum in chi(T) at 6.6 K. The HCO2- and pyz ligands mediate ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin exchange interactions between adjacent Cu2+ ions with the spin exchange parameters J/kB = 8.17 and -5.4 K, respectively (H = -JSigmaSi x Sj). The muon-spin relaxation data show a transition to a long-range magnetic ordering below TN = 3.66(3) K. For T < TN, the M(H) and chi'ac measurements provide evidence for a field-induced spin-flop transition at 15.2 kOe. That Cu(HCO2)(NO3)(pyz) undergoes a long-range magnetic ordering is an unexpected result because the one-dimensional Cu(NO3)2(pyz) and three-dimensional Cu(HCO2)2(pyz) compounds display linear chain antiferromagnetism with no long-range magnetic ordering down to 2 K.
