Magnetic and crystallographic properties of the mineral langite Cu4(OH)6SO4· 2H2O are reported. Density-functional band structure calculations suggest a quasi-two-dimensional spin model consisting of two interacting subsystems: (A) Frustrated Heisenberg chains with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor (NN) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) exchange couplings, which is responsible for the magnetic ordering at TN≃ 5.7 K, and (B) weakly-coupled frustrated chains with AFM NN and NNN exchange couplings. At low temperature, the magnetic susceptibility of the former subsystem is about five times larger than that of the latter one. Therefore, the system can be regarded as a combination of isolated subsystems with respect to applied magnetic field. The subsystem (A) may give an ideal host exhibiting multipolar physics. Experimentally observed magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and magnetization are also compared to our numerical results.
