Abstract
The structure of (DMET)2FeCl4 is featured with an alternate stacking of quasi-1D chain-based donor sheets and magnetic Fe 3+ (S=5/2) sheets. At ambient pressure, the salt shows metallic behavior down to ∼100K with the presence of a resistivity anomaly around 7K, at which the susceptibility has a broad maximum of magnetic short-range ordering in the Fe3+ magnetic sheet of d-electrons. An antiferromagnetic transition takes place at TN=2.8K. The large Weiss temperature Θ = -1IK and the field dependent anomalies in the magnetoresistance, which indicate the presence of a strong antiferromagnetic interaction, suggest that the donor π-electrons mediate the interlayer interaction between the Fe3+ magnetic layers.
