Previously, we reported that inorganic–organic hybrid (C6H5CH2CH2NH3)2MnCl4 (Mn-PEA) is antiferromagnetic below 44 K by using magnetic susceptibility and neutron diffraction measurements. Generally, when an antiferromagnetic system is investigated by the neutron diffraction method, half-integer forbidden peaks, which indicate an enlargement of the magnetic cell compared to the chemical cell, should be present. However, in the case of the title compound, integer forbidden peaks are observed, suggesting that the size of the magnetic cell is the same as that of the chemical cell. This phenomenon was until now only theoretically predicted. During our former study, using an irreducible representation method, we suggested that four spin arrangements could be possible candidates and a magnetic cell and chemical cell should coincide. Recently, a magnetic structure analysis employing a magnetic space group has been developed. To confirm our former result by the representation method, in this work we employed a magnetic space group concept, and from this analysis, we show that the magnetic cell must coincide with the nuclear cell because only the Black–White 1 group (equi-translation or same translation group) is possible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
