On the magnetism of a so-called one-dimensional crystal,dimethylammonium trichlorocuprate(II), DMACuCl3

Magnetic anisotropy and susceptibility of a so-called one-dimensional crystal, dimethylammonium trichlorocuprate(II), DMACuCl₃, measured between 300 and 77 K can be explained on the basis of a Cu²⁺ ion in a large tetragonal crystal field, although the shortest Cu-Cu distance is 3.443 Å. Measurements of anisotropic susceptibilities below 77 K are needed to ascertain the real magnetic behaviour in this system.
