Hydrothermal synthesis and magnetic behaviour of beta-Li3VF6 and Na3VF6
Abstract
Fluorides and oxide-fluorides play important roles in several technological fields. Herein, we have synthesized the crystals of β-Li3VF6 and Na3VF6 under mild hydrothermal conditions without any hydrofluoric acid. These two compounds were well-crystallized and showed antiferromagnetic interactions with isolated magnetic units.
