Abstract

Herein, we have synthesized at room-temperature two-dimensional nanosheets of a MOF comprised ofcobalt(II) ion withbenzenedicarboxylic acid ligand, which exhibited unusual magnetic properties. Direct-current magnetic susceptibility revealed an antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition at 26 K (Néel temperature, TN) 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 ∼10 kOe at 5 K. Metamagnetism was further substantiated by the alternating-current magnetic susceptibility measurements.
