Synthesis and Characterization, in a typical synthesis of [H3N(CH2)2NH2 CH2)2NH3]4[Fe 9F 8(S04)6]-9H20, III, 0.263 g of ironflll) citrate was dispersed in an ethanol (EtOH)-water mixture (5.8 and 1.8 mL, respectively) under constant stirring. To this mixture, 0.22 mL of sulfuric acid (98%) and 0.38 mL of diethyl- 

Kagome lattice leads to Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interactions, the in-plane components of which can give rise to magnetic polarizations in the out-of-plane directions with canted vectors of magnetic moments. It is interesting to
