Abstract

A novel three-dimensional Cu0.73Ni0.27(HSeO3)2 compound was prepared from an aqueous solution. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with P21/n space group and with the following cell parameters: a=6.4379(3)Å; b=7.3555(3)Å; c=5.7522(3)Å; β=93.4341(1)°; V=271.90(2)Å3 and Z=2. The reported material has been structurally characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and confirmed by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectroscopy (MEB/EDS) analysis. The copper/nickel atom is surrounded by an octahedron coordination of oxygen atoms from sex hydrogenoselenites anions. The presence of (HSeO3)− has been further confirmed by IR spectroscopy and this compound exhibits a phase transition at 356K, this transition has been detected by differential scanning calorimetry and TG-DTA measurement. The magnetic property of this material was determined. The ferromagnetic ordering is further confirmed by the magnetic field dependence of the magnetization (Hysteresis loop) at 10K. The substitution of Cu by Ni induces a ferro-paramagnetic transition at T=31K. Field cooled (FC) and Zero field cooled (ZFC) magnetization measurements under an applied field of 100Oe in the temperature range of 10–300K were performed. These measurements have been resulted the blocking temperature (TB) at around 25K.
