Abstract 3d–4f heterometallic discrete complexes have enjoyed increasing attraction in
recent decades because of their potential advantages to create new single-molecule …

This review outlines recent advances in the design of 3d-, 4f-, and 3d–4f type magnetic
molecules for use as excellent cryogenic magnetic coolants based on the magnetocaloric …

Zero-dimensional cluster complexes and coordination polymers for magnetic refrigeration
have attracted great interest in the last decade. In-situ synthesis is a widely-used method to …

The carboxylate ligand,[RCO 2]−, is one of the most versatile and hence also one of the most
ubiquitous ligands in coordination chemistry.(1-4) Although fairly simple coordination modes …

Nanosized aggregations of metal ions shielded by organic ligands possessing both
exquisite structural aesthetics and intriguing properties are fundamentally interesting. Three …

The comprehensive study reported herein provides compelling evidence that anion
templates are the main driving force in the formation of two novel nanoscale lanthanide …

Polynuclear 3d transition metal-Gd complexes are good candidates to present large
magnetocaloric effect. This effect is favored by the presence of weak ferromagnetic …

Two unique 3D coordination polymers based on octahedral [Ln6](Ln= Gd (1), Dy (2))
clusters as nodes were synthesized, exhibiting a novel (3, 12)-connected topology with the …

This review article examines the impact of zero-dimensional compounds in the field of
magnetic refrigeration, 20 years after the modern age of molecular magnetism began. The …
