Abstract

A series of quaternary metal sulfides of the general formula $La_3MM'S_7$ (M = Mn, Fe, Co; M’ = Al and M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni; M’ = Fe) consisting of linear chains of face shared $MS_6$ octahedra and isolated $M’S_4$ tetrahedra has been prepared and studied. The aluminium compounds $La_3MAIS_7$ (M = Mn, Fe, Co) exhibit linear chain antiferromagnetism. Magnetic behavior of other $La_3MFeS_7$ sulfides has been examined in detail. The magnetic susceptibility of $La_3MgFeS_7$ shows that tetrahedral site $Fe^{3+}$ undergoes a transition from S = 5/2 to S = 2 spin state around 150 K.
