Abstract: | Previous studies have shown that NiZrF6.6H2O can be described by an axial spin Hamiltonian with parameters g = 2.33 and , and exhibits ferromagnetic ordering at Tc = 164mK. Our room temperature X-ray measurements confirm that NiZrF6·.6H2O is isomorphous with NiSnCl6·.6H2O and give lattice parameters of and α = 96°09′. Proton NMR measurements show that there exist important molecular motions at room temperature and that the space group remains down to liquid helium temperatures. The positions of all twelve protons have been determined and are found to lie on a sphere of radius 2.9 Å centered on the nickel ion. |
