Abstract
crystallizes in a hexagonal lattice and is built up of chains linked by groups. Magnetic susceptibility shows a broad maximum at 47 K, above which the behavior is typical for a one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet with Magnetic neutron diffraction reveals a much lower ordering temperature (28.5 K) to give a novel chiral ground state with a magnetic unit cell of consisting of a mixture of one ferromagnetic triangle and two normal 120° antiferromagnetic triangles.
