Abstract

Manganese vanadate fluorides were synthesized using high-temperature hydrothermal techniques with BaF2 as a mineralizer. Ba3Mn2(V2O7)2F2 crystallizes in space group C2/c and consists of dimers built from edge-sharing MnO4F2 trigonal prisms with linking V2O7 groups. Ba7Mn8O2(VO4)2F23 crystallizes in space group Cmmm, with a manganese oxyfluoride network built from edge- and corner-sharing Mn2+/3+(O,F)6 octahedra. These octahedra form alternating Mn2+ and Mn2+/3+ layers separated by VO4 tetrahedra. This latter compound exhibits a canted antiferromagnetic order below TN = 25 K.
