Abstract
For temperatures well above the ordering temperature the magnetic properties of the metal-organic material built from ions and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic anions can be described by an quantum antiferromagnet on a distorted honeycomb lattice with two different nearest-neighbor exchange couplings . Measurements of the magnetization as a function of a uniform external field and of the uniform zero-field susceptibility are explained within the framework of a modified spin-wave approach which takes into account the absence of a spontaneous staggered magnetization at finite temperatures.
