This week, Kate and Lucy celebrated the publication of their paper entitled “Materialization of a Geometrically Frustrated Magnet in a Hybrid Coordination Framework: A Study of the Iron(II) Oxalate Fluoride Framework, KFe(C2O4)F)”. The work is a continuation of a project that Lucy worked on in Prof Phil Lightfoot’s group at the University of St Andrews, which aimed to explore the use of oxalate linkers in tailoring interlayer interactions within layered magnets. The new article is a part of the Forum on Paradigm Shifts in Magnetism: From Molecules to Materials and combines powder neutron diffraction with muon spectroscopy measurements to elucidate the magnetic ordering and structure within KFe(C2O4)F.
