Using dc magnetization, ac susceptibility, specific heat, and neutron diffraction, we have studiedthe magnetic properties of Mn[N(CN)2]2(pyz) {pyz = pyrazine} in detail. The material crystallizes in themonoclinic space group P21/n with a = 7.3248(2), b = 16.7369(4), and c = 8.7905 (2) Å, = 89.596 (2),V = 1077.65(7) Å3, and Z = 4, as determined by Rietveld refinement of neutron powder diffraction data at1.35 K. The 5 K neutron powder diffraction data reflect very little variation in the crystal structure.Interpenetrating ReO3-like networks are formed from axially elongated Mn2+ octahedra and edges made up of-bonded [N(CN)2]- anions and neutral pyz ligands. A three-dimensional antiferromagnetic ordering occursbelow TN = 2.53(2) K. The magnetic unit cell is double the nuclear one along the a- and c-axes, giving the(1/2, 0, 1/2) superstructure. The crystallographic and antiferromagnetic structures are commensurate and consistof collinear Mn2+ moments, each with a magnitude of 4.15(6) B aligned parallel to the a-direction (Mn-pyz-Mn chains). Electronic structure calculations indicate that the exchange interaction is much strongeralong the Mn-pyz-Mn chain axis than along the Mn-NCNCN-Mn axes by a factor of approximately 40,giving rise to a predominantly one-dimensional magnetic system. Thus, the variable-temperature magneticsusceptibility data are well described by a Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain model, giving g = 2.01(1) andJ/kB = -0.27(1) K. Owing to single-ion anisotropy of the Mn2+ ion, field-induced phenomena ascribed tospin-flop and paramagnetic transitions are observed at 0.43 and 2.83 T, respectively.
