A magnetic study has been carried on the non-magnetic cations intercalated
vanadyl phosphates Cd(VOPO4)(2). 4H(2)O and Mg1-xZnx(VOPO4)(2). 4H(2)O with
x approximate to 0.28. The susceptibility measurements are indicative of w
eak magnetic interactions within the negatively charged [VO4/2OPO4/2](infin
ity-) layers, which are interpreted on the basis of a 2D square planar Heis
enberg model. Cd(VOPO4)(2). 4H(2)O is ferromagnetic with J = + 0.87 cm(-1)
while Mg0.72Zn0.28(VOPO4)(2). 4H(2)O is antiferromagnetic (J= -1.93 cm(-1))
. The obtained results are discussed in connexion with the structural featu
res.
