Abstract

We report the magnetic properties of a cobalt oxalate metal-organic-framework featuring the hyperoctagon lattice. Our thermodynamic measurements reveal the JeffJ_{\rm{eff}} = 1/2 state of the high-spin Co2+^{2+} (3d7\textit{d}^{7}) ion and the two successive magnetic transitions at zero field with two-stage entropy release. 13^{13}C-NMR measurements reveal the absence of an internal magnetic field in the intermediate temperature phase. Multiple field-induced phases are observed before full saturation at around 40 T. We argue the unique cobalt oxalate network gives rise to the Kitaev interaction and/or a bond frustration effect, providing an unconventional platform for frustrated magnetism on the hyperoctagon lattice.
