Antiferromagnetic Ordering in MnF(salen)

Abstract

Antiferromagnetic order at $T_{\mathrm{N}}=23$ K has been identified in Mn(III)F(salen), salen = H${}_{14}$C${}_{16}$N${}_2$O${}_2$, an $S=2$ linear-chain system. Using single crystals, specific heat studies performed in magnetic fields up to 9 T revealed the presence of a field-independent cusp at the same temperature where ${}^1$H NMR studies conducted at 42 MHz observed dramatic changes in the spin-lattice relaxation time, $T_1$, and in the linewidths. Neutron powder diffraction performed on a randomly-oriented, as-grown, deuterated (12 of 14 H replaced by d) sample of 2.2 g at 10 K and 100 K did not resolve the magnetic ordering, while low-field (less than 0.1 T) magnetic susceptibility studies of single crystals and randomly-arranged microcrystalline samples reveal subtle features associated with the transition. Ensemble these data suggest a magnetic signature previously detected at 3.8 T for temperatures below nominally 500 mK is a spin-flop field of small net moments arising from alternating subsets of three Mn spins along the chains.
