Structural and magnetic investigations of post-perovskite thiocyanate frameworks

Dense coordination polymers combine the functional properties typical of the traditional inorganic solid state, such as magnetism, with the remarkable tunability and flexibility that arises from the incorporation of molecular components. They therefore offer the opportunity to discover unusual behaviour that arises from the coupling of these properties. [1] Thiocyanate compounds have the potential rich optical and magnetic properties, but both their chemistry and magnetism remain comparatively unexplored.
