Magnetic and Mössbauer Studies on Mixed-Metal Cyano-Bridged Compounds GunM1.5-n[Fe(CN)6]·xH2O(M=Ni, Gu)
Mixed-metal cyano-bridged compounds GunM1.5-n[Fe (CN)6]·xH2O(M=Ni, Gu) have been prepared by co-precipitation. The magnetic results show that the compound Cu0.75Ni0.75[Fe (CN)6]·xH2O is ferromagnetic, undergoes a paramagnetic to the ferromagnetic transition temperature at 21.77 K. The paramagnetic curie temperature θ, residual magnetization Mr, and coercive field Hcare different from bimetallic Prussian Blue analogues Ni3[Fe (CN)6]2·xH2O and Cu3[Fe (CN)6]2· xH2O. As to Cu3[Fe (CN)6]2·xH2O, the magnetic susceptibilities follow the Curie-Weiss law and the Weiss paramagnetic Curie temperature is 19.1 K. The Mossbauer spectrum at room temperature reveals a doublet with the isomer shift parameter (-0.03 mm/s) and quadrupole splitting (QS= 1.09 mm/s). As the sample was cooled down to 16K, the magnetic splitting phenomenon was detected in the compound.
