Abstract

Bimetallic oxalates are a class of layered organic magnets with transition metals M(II) and M′(III) coupled by oxalate molecules in an open honeycomb structure. Energy, structure, and symmetry considerations are used to construct a reduced Hamiltonian, including exchange and spin-orbit interactions, that explains the giant negative magnetization in some of the ferrimagnetic Fe(II)Fe(III) compounds. We also provide new predictions for the spin-wave gap, the effects of uniaxial strain, and the optical flipping of the negative magnetization in Fe(II)Fe(III) bimetallic oxalates.
