Abstract

A previously unreported dicobalt hydroxo-selenite Co2SeO3(OH)2 was synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions. Its crystal structure, determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at ambient temperature, is monoclinic, space group P21/n, with unit cell parameters a ​= ​7.716 ​Å, b ​= ​5.823 ​Å, c ​= ​9.556 ​Å, β ​= ​97.38°, and Z ​= ​4. Bond valence sums indicate that the cations have the oxidation states Co(II) and Se(IV), and allow us to locate the hydrogens in the structure. Chains of edge-sharing CoO6 octahedra extending along [010] are connected by pairs of edge sharing CoO6 octahedra, forming a two-dimensional Co-based magnetic plane. These magnetic planes are connected by two SeO3 2− pyramids. The magnetic properties of the Co2+ ions are dominated by antiferromagnetic interactions, evident by the negative Curie-Weiss temperature of −97.6 ​K. Long-range ordered antiferromagnetic ordering is observed below a transition temperature at 65 ​K.
