Abstract:
A new compound, Bi(3)Mn(3)O(11), with a KSbO(3)-type structure was prepared using a high-pressure technique. Its structural, chemical, and magnetic properties have been investigated. Bi(3)Mn(3)O(11) was shown to be a ferrimagnet with rather high T(C) despite the random distribution of manganese ions with different oxidation states in one site. Bi(3)Mn(3)O(11) gradually loses oxygen on heating forming several phases with the same structure but with different magnetic properties. These findings may revive interest in the KSbO(3) family of compounds, which is rather adaptive considering the cation variations and oxygen content.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
