Among numerous multiferroic phenomena observed in spin frustrated lattice, giant
magnetoelectricity in honeycomb lattice (Fe, Mn) 2 Mo 3 O 8 has stimulated great interest
and substantial effort in searching for novel members in this 238 family. In this work, we
synthesize successfully compound Co 2 Mo 3 O 8, a structural analogue of Fe 2 Mo 3 O 8,
and present a series of characterizations on its structural, magnetic, and electric properties.

Among numerous multiferroic phenomena observed in spin frustrated lattice, giant magnetoelectricity in honeycomb lattice has stimulated great interest and substantial effort in searching for novel members in this 238 family. In this work, we synthesize successfully compound , a structural analogue of , and present a series of characterizations on its structural, magnetic, and electric properties. An antiferromagnetic transition takes place at the Neel temperature with appearance of electric polarization and dielectric anomaly, which provides clear evidence of simultaneous magnetic and ferroelectric transitions. The neutron powder diffraction (NPD) and magnetic susceptibility data confirm the -axis collinear antiferromagnetic orders and emergent ferroelectric polarization. In particular, such antiferromagnetic order is relatively robust against magnetic field up to 9 T, different from with ferrimagnetic transition or with spin flop in the low-field region. Our data on single crystals demonstrate the second-order magnetoelectric effect in terms of magnetic field dependence of ferroelectric polarization response, while no linear magnetoelectric response is allowed. It is suggested that provides a unique platform on which rich multiferroic physics in the presence of collinear magnetic order can be explored.
