Abstract

X-ray powder diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements show that Ag(pyz)(2)(S(2)O(8)) consists of 2D square nets of Ag(2+) ions resulting from the corner-sharing of axially elongated AgN(4)O(2) octahedra and exhibits characteristic 2D antiferromagnetism. Nevertheless, mu(+)SR measurements indicate that Ag(pyz)(2)(S(2)O(8)) undergoes 3D magnetic ordering below 7.8(3) K.
