Abstract

The synthesis, structure and preliminary magnetic characteristics of the new layered manganese oxide chlorides, Sr2MnO3Cl and Sr4Mn3O8-yCl2 are reported. Sr2MnO3Cl adopts a K2NiF4 type structure with sheets of MnO5 square based pyramids linked through oxygen and separated by SrCl layers; it is the end member of a new family of Ruddlesden-Popper type manganese oxide halides which includes the 3-layer member Sr4Mn3O8-yCl2. Magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal antiferromagnetic transitions at 95 K and 90 K for Sr2MnO3Cl and Sr4Mn3O8-yCl2 respectively. These materials demonstrate the extension of mixed anion chemistry to manganese and will increase flexibility in designing and controlling oxidation states of new GMR materials.
