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 …

The magnetocaloriceffect is considered as an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly
technique which can take cooling technology to the next level. Apart from its commercial …

A series of heterometallic tetranuclear clusters, Ln2Ni2 (NO3) 4L4 (μ3-OCH3) 2· 2
(CH3CN)(Ln= Gd (1), Tb (2), Dy (3), Ho (4), Er (5); HL= methyl 3-methoxysalicylate), were …

Solid state refrigeration is a viable alternative for the conventional gas-compression
technology due to the environmental friendliness of its materials, energy efficiency, and low …

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

Abstract 3d-4f cubane-like complexes exhibit unique structural pattern, thus become a
fascinating subclass of 3d-4f complexes. In this review, we first present the structural …

The transformation of MnII glycolates (glc) between the three‐dimensional coordination
polymer [Mn (glc) 2] n (1) and discrete mononuclear phase [Mn (glc) 2 (H2O) 2](2) can be …

By using a heptadentate Schiff base ligand with three NO2 pockets to react with 3d and 4f
acetate precursors, three series of M4Ln2 complexes (M, Ln= Ni, Gd for 1 NiGd; Ni, Dy for 2 …

Tunable structures and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of seven MOFs with [Gdn] as nodes are
explored. The [Gdn] node is realized from mononuclear [Gd] to binuclear paddle-wheel …

The distinct nanosized cluster Gd22Ni21 was isolated using a mixture of anions (SO32− and
SO42−) as templates, and to the best of our knowledge, this was the first such 3d–4f cluster …
