Popis: Polycrystalline samples of M3(BO3)F3 (M=Fe, Co, Ni), isostructural with nocerite Mg3(BO3)(OH,F)3, have been prepared in supercritical hydrothermal conditions. These compounds represent with boracites, M3B7O13F (M=Mg, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn), the only transition metal fluoride borates known to date. Co3(BO3)F3 and Ni3(BO3)F3 are antiferromagnetic with TN=17(2) and 40(2) K, respectively. Spin-flop transitions at BC1=4.0 T and BC2=7.5 T occur at 1.6 K in Co3(BO3)F3, while a parasitic ferromagnetism (0.02 μB/Ni2+ at 1.6 K) appears below TN in Ni3(BO3)F3. The magnetic structures consist of three spin sub-lattices of double rutile-type ferromagnetic chains.
