Jg. Qin et al., SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF A NEW FERROMAGNETIC 2,2'-BIPYRIDINE-MNPS3INTERCALATION COMPOUND, Solid state communications, 100(6), 1996, pp. 427-431
A new intercalation compound Mn0.86PS3(bipy)(0.56) has been synthesize
d by a direct reaction of MnPS3 with 2,2-bipyridine. It has been chara
cterized by elemental analyses, thermogravimetry analysis, infrared sp
ectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction. The magnetic properties of th
e materials was studied with SQUID-magnetometer. The results indicate
that the material exhibits bulk ferromagnetism below 40 K. Copyright (
