The former showed antiferromagnetic coupling between neighboring ions with J/kB = −28.2(2) K, which can be reasonably interpreted in terms of the superexchange mechanism. On the other hand, the latter exhibited ferromagnetic coupling with J/kB = +0.292(8) K between the two terminal S = 5/2 Fe3+ ions through the intervening diamagnetic Fe2+ ion. The admixture of low-lying excited states with the ground state stabilizes the ferromagnetically coupled state, like the Prussian blue magnet. %I ACS Publications
