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 …

Two 24-nuclear lanthanide clusters, Gd24 and Dy24 were obtained and structurally
characterized. Magnetic investigations reveal that Gd24 exhibits the largest entropy change …

Lanthanide-based metal–organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), as notable materials, are
constructed by Ln3+ ions and organic ligands, or Ln3+ ions functionalizing non-Ln-MOFs …

Molecular nanomagnets containing heterometallic 3d-4f complexes have been investigated
extensively for the past few years realizing the role of exchange interaction to minimize the …

Two rarely seen 2D coordination polymers based on huge 36-metal pure lanthanide
clusters,{[Gd36 (NA) 36 (OH) 49 (O) 6 (NO3) 6 (N3) 3 (H2O) 20] Cl2· 28H2O} n (1) and …

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 …

Coordination polymers serving as molecular magnetic refrigerants have been attracting
great interest. In particular, coordination cluster compounds that demonstrate their apparent …
