Mn2CoReO6: a robust multisublattice antiferromagnetic perovskite with small A-site cations

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Mar 14;55(23):3331-3334. doi: 10.1039/c9cc00038k.

Abstract

Mn2CoReO6, the fourth known magnetic transition-metal-only double perovskite oxide (space group P21/n) was synthesized at high pressure and temperature (8 GPa, 1350 °C). Large structural distortions are induced by the small A-site Mn2+ cations. Mn2CoReO6 exhibits complex magnetic properties with a robust antiferromagnetic order (TN = 94 K) involving all cation sublattices.
