Abstract:
Ion-exchange treatment of Na2SnTeO6 in molten salt mixtures resulted in rosiaite (PbSb2O6)-related MnSnTeO6. Its crystal structure was refined by the Rietveld method. Of the three possible models of Sn/Te distribution, the disordered model (P3[combining macron]1m, a = 5.23093(11) Å, c = 4.62430(16) Å) was preferred based on bond distances. However, it is supposed that each individual (SnTeO6)2- layer retains complete ordering of the precursor and the apparent disorder is only due to stacking faults. Magnetic studies have shown that MnSnTeO6 orders antiferromagnetically at Neél temperature TN = 9.8 K. The effective magnetic moment reasonably agrees with theoretical estimations assuming high-spin configuration of Mn2+ (S = 5/2). Electron spin resonance reveals spin dynamics in accordance with antiferromagnetic ordering. Moreover, critical broadening of ESR linewidth indicates the low-dimensional type of exchange interactions. Based on the temperature and field-dependent magnetization studies, the magnetic phase diagram of the new compound was constructed.

Structure and Physical Properties of Alkynes
In nature, compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen are known as "hydrocarbons". Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds whose molecules contain saturated single bonds (i.e., alkanes) or unsaturated double or triple bonds. Alkenes contain carbon–carbon double bonds and have a structural formula CnH2n. Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing carbon–carbon triple bonds are called "alkynes" and are structurally represented by the formula CnH2n-2.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
