| The Prussian blue analogues attract great attention due to their interesting properties and tunability. The cyanido bridging ligands allow for effective magnetic coupling. Due to the highly symmetrical structure of the Prussian blue analogue, its properties can be tuned by changing the metal centres involved in the cyano-bridging. Herein, a study of a new dimensionally-reduced system based on nickel hexacyanoferrate/chromate is presented. Thin films were obtained by ion-exchange synthesis. The primary aim of this work was to tune the physical properties of Prussian blue analogues by adapting the strategy of incorporating the three types of metal ions. A comprehensive analysis of the magnetic properties of the resulting compound and a detailed investigation of the evolution of the material's microstructure induced by the change in its chemical composition is presented. |
