Experimental study of magneto-structural correlations in low-dimensional quantum magnets Cu(en)Cl₂ and Cu(tn)Cl₂

The present work is focused on the investigation of magneto-structural correlations in Cu(en)Cl₂ and Cu(tn)Cl₂. A comparative study of powder susceptibility and magnetization of both compounds revealed that the replacement of tn by en ligand did not affect single-ion properties. On the other hand, the structure modification led to significant reduction of magnetic interactions as well as lowering the crystal symmetry. The impact of the high pressure on magnetic properties of the compounds is discussed.
