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

There has been a rapid expansion in the use of molecular magnets for both low-and ultra
low-temperature cooling applications in recent years, and here we review the chemical …

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 …

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are a fascinating class of molecular materials that display
slow relaxation of magnetization because of an intrinsic energy barrier (Ueff) to spin …

Tailoring the specific magnetic properties of any material relies on the topological control of
the constituent metal ion building blocks. Although this general approach does not seem to …

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 …

Accommodating disparate spin centres within a single ensemble is a valuable synthetic
strategy to obtain interesting molecular magnetic materials. 3d–4f heterometallic complexes …

A new series of heterometallic 3d–4f single molecule magnets (SMMs) of general formula
[CrIII2DyIII2 (OMe) 2 (RN {(CH2) 2OH} 2) 2 (acac) 4 (NO3) 2](R= Me, Et, nBu) is reported …

The magnetothermal properties of a coordination polymer and a metal–organic framework
(MOF) based on Gd3+ ions are reported. An equally large cryogenic magnetocaloric effect …
