Calorimetric Study of Phase Transitions in 2D Bimetallic Molecular Magnetic Materials - A[M(II)M(III)(C2O4)3]#

Oxalate-ligand based two-dimensional bimetallic molecular materials of general formula A[M(II)M(III) (C2O4)3] have drawn much research interest in the field of molecular magnetism. In this article, these materials and their magnetic properties have been introduced. The heat capacity calorimetric studies on these magnetic materials reported so far have been revisited to highlight the scope of application as well as the importance of the thermodynamic technique - heat capacity calorimetry in the field of molecular magnetism.
