AgFeP2O7 has been synthesized by flux crystallization and characterized by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction (sp. gr. P21/c, a=7.3298(2), b=7.9702(2), c=9.5653(2) Å, β=111.842(1)°, V=518.68(2) Å3) and FTIR-spectroscopy. The structure is composed of isolated iron octahedra and phosphate tetrahedra interconnected into 3D network with hexagonal channels, where silver counter-ions are located. The magnetic behavior of the compound approaches the Curie–Weiss equation with a Weiss constant θ=−165.9 K indicating strong antiferromagnetic interaction between iron(III) ions.
Graphical abstractAgFeP2O7 synthesized by flux crystallization is composed of isolated iron octahedra and phosphate tetrahedra interconnected into 3D network with hexagonal channels, where silver counter-ions are located. The compound approaches the Curie–Weiss equation with a Weiss constant θ=−165.9 K exhibiting antiferromagnetic interactions due to magnetically isolated high-spin iron(III).Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
