O and its effective spin model. Experimental studies by magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, heat capacity, and
SR measurements indicate the absence of long-range order down to 0.4 K. Theoretical studies reveal that birchite is a model compound for the

are antiferromagnetic and their magnitude is about 100 times larger than the interchain interactions. The magnitude of

), which suggests the presence of a spin gap.
