19. Under certain situations, one also observes superstructure formation along the c axis in which case the c parameter may also be quadrupoled. See, for details, B. Chevalier, P. Lejay, J. Etourneau, and P. Hagenmuller, Solid State Commun. 49, 753 (1984).

22. 6 as the T is lowered [that is, quasi-one-dimensional magnetism (55 K) to long-range ordering (23.6 K) to disordered magnetism (below 10 K) coupled with a large frequency dependence of ac χ around 10 K], it is even tempting to classify this compound along with the rare class of magnetic compounds, called “partiallly disordered antiferromagnetic structural” compounds. See the references, S. Niitaka et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 177202 (2001);
23. 3 are similar structurally as well in the sense that these compounds have magnetic ions at the corners and centres of hexagons and hence are triangular lattices. Further work in this direction is urgently required to verify this interesting possibility.
