Abstract
The honeycomb-lattice ruthenate is made heavily Li deficient by chemical oxidation by iodine. The delithiation induces a different phase , the “D phase,” with superlattice. For the first time we disclose the magnetic and structural properties of the D phase in the dimer-solid state. The low-temperature magnetic susceptibility and the bond lengths indicate a bonding configuration consisting of both and dimers.
