Template synthesis and characters of the 2D 63 honeycomb-type nets

Compound 1, namely Fe2(ox)3(L)2 (L = N,N′-dimethylcyclohexylamine, ox = oxalate dianion), was hydrothermally synthesized via different temperatures under the direction of the organic template L, characterized by the 2D (6,3) honeycomb-type nets and a strong antiferromagnetic behavior with θ = −106 K between high-spin Fe(III) ions (S = 5/2). Compound 1 belongs to orthorhombic system, space group Pbca, a = 9.4262(13) Ǻ, b = 16.641(2) Ǻ, c = 16.825(2) Ǻ, α = β = γ = 90°, V = 2639.3(6) Ǻ3, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0447, ωR2 = 0.1074, S = 1.031.
