Abstract

A new family of anhydrous sulfates, A²⁺Mn₅(SO₄)₆ (A=Pb, Ba, Sr) is reported. The crystal structures of PbMn₅(SO₄)₆ and SrMn₅(SO₄)₆ are solved by powder X-ray and neutron diffraction. BaMn₅(SO₄)₆ is isostructural. PbMn₅(SO₄)₆ crystallizes with P over(3, -) symmetry and unit cell parameters of a=14.551(1) Å and c=7.535(1) Å. The structure has rich features, including dimers of face-sharing MnO₆ octahedra, and two complementary triangular layers of Mn atoms. All compounds undergo a magnetic ordering transition at 10 K, below which, the magnetic susceptibility of the compounds varies systematically with the radius of the non-magnetic cation. Low temperature neutron diffraction shows that the complementary triangular layers result in a ferrimagnet with a net moment corresponding to one high spin Mn²⁺ per unit cell, correlating well with the magnetization data. The non-magnetic variant PbMg₅(SO₄)₆ is also reported.
