Abstract

The compound Cs-2[FeCl5(H2O)] is magnetoelectric but not multiferroic with an erythrosiderite-related structure. We present a comprehensive investigation of its structural and antiferromagnetic phase transitions by polarization microscopy, pyroelectric measurements, x-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction. At about (157.6 +/- 0.1) K, the compound changes its symmetry from Cmcm to I2/c, with a doubling of the original c-axis. This transformation is associated with rotations of the [FeCl5O] octahedra and corresponds to an ordering of the H2O molecules and of the related H bonds. A significant ferroelectric polarization can be excluded for this transition by precise pyrocurrent measurements. The antiferromagnetic phase transition occurring at 6.4K results in the magnetic space group I2'/c, which perfectly agrees with previous measurements of the linear magnetoelectric effect and magnetization.
