We have found the exact (factorized) ground state of a general class of ferrimagnets in the presence of a magnetic field which includes the anisotropic and long-range interactions for arbitrary dimensional space. In particular cases our model represents many spin chains with bond alternation of antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic coupling, ferrimagnetic spin ladders, and also homogeneous spin-s models. The factorized ground state is a product of single-particle kets on a bipartite lattice composed of two different spins (ρ,σ) which is characterized by two angles, a biangle state. The spin-wave analysis around the exact ground state shows two branch of excitations which are the origin of two dynamics of the model. The signature of these dynamics is addressed as a peak and a broaden bump in the specific heat.
