We have recently synthesized novel spin-dimer systems by bridging Cu(II) ions with hydroquinone linkers. By chemically modifying the hydroquinone linkers, spin-dimer systems with different intradimer and interdimer interactions are realized. These compounds include isolated and coupled spin-dimer systems. We will discuss the magnetic properties of these systems at low temperatures. In particular, we will focus on one of the 3D coupled spin-dimer systems, [C36H48Cu2F6N8O12S2] (TK91). Thermodynamic and magnetic measurements on TK91 suggest that a field-induced phase transition takes place at very low temperatures (T 0.2K) and at fields between ∼5.8 and ∼6.5T. Such a phase transition has been observed in other spin-dimer systems and was interpreted as the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnons. The ability to tune the magnetic interactions in TK91 will make it possible to explore the BEC phenomenon in magnetic systems under various conditions.
