$${it S}$$ = 1/2 Heisenberg $${it J}$$$$_{1}$$-$${it J}$$$$_{2}$$ chain antiferromagnets have been investigated extensively due to their exotic magnetic states. Here, we report the magnetic behavior of birchite Cd$$_{2}$$Cu$$_{2}$$(PO$$_{4}$$)$$_{2}$$SO$$_{4}$$$$cdot$$5H$$_{2}$$O and its effective spin model. Experimental studies by magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, heat capacity, and $$mu$$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 $${it J}$$$$_{1}$$-$${it J}$$$$_{2}$$ antiferromagnetic chain: the intrachain interactions $${it J}$$$$_{1}$$ and $${it J}$$$$_{2}$$ are antiferromagnetic and their magnitude is about 100 times larger than the interchain interactions. The magnitude of $${it J}$$$$_{2}$$ is two to three times larger than that of $${it J}$$$$_{1}$$, thus the spin gap is expected to be only a few percent of that of $${it J}$$$$_{1}$$. The temperature dependence of the specific heat shows a broad peak at about 1 K ($$simeq$$ 0.036 $${it J}$$$$_{1}$$), which suggests the presence of a spin gap.

Crystal and magnetic structures of the mineral centennialite CaCu$$_{3}$$(OD)$$_{6}$$Cl$$_{2}$$ $$cdot$$ 0.6D$$_{2}$$O are investigated by means of synchrotron X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction measurements complemented by density functional theory (DFT) and pseudofermion functional renormalization group (PFFRG) calculations. In CaCu$$_{3}$$(OD)$$_{6}$$Cl$$_{2}$$ $$cdot$$ 0.6D$$_{2}$$O, Cu$$^{2+}$$ ions form a geometrically perfect kagome network with antiferromagnetic $$J_{1}$$. No intersite disorder between Cu$$^{2+}$$ and Ca$$^{2+}$$ ions is detected. CaCu$$_{3}$$(OD)$$_{6}$$Cl$$_{2}$$ $$cdot$$ 0.6D$$_{2}$$O enters a magnetic long-range ordered state below $$T_{rm N}$$ = 7.2 K, and the $$q$$=0 magnetic structure with negative vector spin chirality is obtained. The ordered moment at 0.3 K is suppressed to 0.58(2)$$mu$$B. Our DFT calculations indicate the presence of antiferromagnetic $$J_{2}$$ and ferromagnetic $$J_{d}$$ superexchange couplings of a strength which places the system at the crossroads of three magnetic orders (at the classical level) and a spin-$$frac{1}{2}$$ PFFRG analysis shows a dominance of $$q$$=0 type magnetic correlations, consistent with and indicating proximity to the observed $$q$$=0 spin structure. The results suggest that this material is located close to a quantum critical point and is a good realization of a $$J_{1}$$-$$J_{2}$$-$$J_{d}$$ kagome antiferromagnet.
