The two one-dimensional spin sublattices are interconnected by weaker exchanges (Jd ∼ 40 K), which create tetrahedral Cu4 knots between the cross-linked “raft” legs, bringing about strong magnetic frustration. The magnetic susceptibility and specific heat show the absence of magnetic ordering down to 1.8 K hampered by fully frustrated Cu1 spins. High-field magnetization reveals a one-third magnetization plateau that is stable up to 33 T, which conveys the fingerprint of the individual AFM and FM chains. Magnetic entropy shows a two-stage Schottky-like release, implying the thermal decoupling of magnetic sublattices. Our work establishes that Cu3Te2O5(OH)4 can serve as a prominent platform for discovering sought-after quantum spin liquids in chemistry and physics.Show less >
