The review presents a bird-eye view on the state of research in the field of giant
nonbiological discrete metal complexes and ions of nanometer size, which are structurally …

Gigantic coordination molecules assembled from a large number of metal ions and organic
ligands are structurally and functionally challenging to characterize. Here we show that a …

Despite wide potential applications of Gd-clusters in magnetocaloric effect (MCE) owing to f7
electron configuration of Gd (III), the structural improvement in order to enhance MCE …

Inorganic molecular cages are emerging multifunctional molecular-based platforms with the
unique merits of rigid skeletons and inherited properties from constituent metal ions …

Clusters showing a giant magnetocaloric effect (MCE) are of interest as molecular coolants
for magnetic refrigeration. Herein, we report two heterometallic clusters, denoted as Gd 152 …

It is a meaningful and challenging work for structural and synthetic chemists to isolate nano-
sized high-nuclearity cluster-molecules. In this work, two largest hetero-metallic nano …

Multinuclear 3d–4f nano-clusters, consisting of a large number of metal ions, are interesting
both structurally and functionally. The Gd (III) containing clusters, in particular, attract great …
