We have investigated the change of magnetism of the transition metal phosphorous trisulfide MnPS3 by controlling the interlayer distance, which was varied by intercalation and by applying high pressure. A perfect pyridine intercalation into MnPS3 was achieved by stirring at 373 K for 8 hours. The interlayer distance d of this intercalated phase (P1.9) is 1.9 times lager than that of MnPS3. Furthermore, a new intercalated phase (P2.7), where d is 2.7 times larger than that of MnPS3, was obtained. The latter phase is unstable and changed to a new phase (P2.0) with a d value which is 2.0 times larger than that of MnPS3 by leaving it in air for about 10 minutes. The temperature dependence of the magnetization of P1.9 shows ferrimagnetism with a Curie temperature TC of 40 K, while MnPS3 is an antiferromagnet with a Neel temperature TN of 78 K. High pressure X‐ray diffraction measurements show that the interlayer separation decreases rapidly with increasing pressure (∼ 1%/GPa). This is explained well by the wea...
