Direct-current magnetic susceptibility revealed an anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) transition at 26 K (Neel temperature, T-N) followed by a canting of the spin moments along with the concomitant appearance of a sigmoidal-shaped magnetization versus field (M-H) curve at 15 K. Such a canted AFM ordering led to nonzero remnant magnetization with a remarkably high coercive field of similar to 10 kOe at 5 K. Metamagnetism was further: substantiated by the alternating-current magnetic susceptibility measurements.}, issn = {0020-1669}, doi = {10.1021/acs.inorgchem.8b03064}, author = {Gupta, Kriti and Dadwal, Arun and Rana, Shammi and Jha, Plawan Kumar and Jain, Anil and Yusuf, S.

Co-BDC ([Co2(OH)2BDC], H2BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid) is known to possess metamagnetism originating from the antiparallel spins and high magneto crystalline anisotropy of Co(II).1\ Herein, we have introduced a bimetallic concept by incorporating Ni(II) along with Co(II) in the same coordination polymer to modulate the magneto crystalline anisotropy in the lattice which in turn, affects the overall magnetic response of the coordination polymer. The Curie-Weiss equation fit suggested antiparallel arrangement of the spins (θ ≈ -62.5 K) of Ni(II) and Co(II) arranged in alternate fashion. The cusp in magnetization was observed at 7 K (Tc) with a significant coercive field of \~{}750 Oe at 5 K.
