A new hybrid material that comprises arrays of one dimensional (1D) chains of NiCl6 octahedra separated by a framework of organic molecules is investigated with different methods. The Ni2+ (3d8) ions in the NiCl6 chain possess an integer spin S = 1. The temperature dependence of the static susceptibility shows a broad maximum suggesting an AFM coupling with a nearest neighbour exchange constant around 25 K. The ESR signal consists of a single lorentzian line at a g-factor of 2.2 typical for Ni2+. The ESR spectrum is isotropic proofing the absence of a single ion anisotropy. This indicates a good realization of the Haldane conjecture which predicts a non-magnetic ground state for an isotropic AFM Heisenberg S=1 chain and a gapped spin excitation spectrum. In contrast to this, a magnetic ordering is observed at temperatures below 10 K with ESR and µ sr. In the low temperature regime the static susceptibility and ESR measurements reveal an anisotropic behaviour for the magnetic field applied along and perpendicular to the chain. We discuss a possible ground state and spin dynamics of the studied compound.
