An Unprecedented Decanuclear Gd<sup>III</sup> Cluster for Magnetic Refrigeration

Abstract

An unprecedented decanuclear Gd<sup>III</sup> cluster composed of the [Gd<sub>10</sub>(μ<sub>3</sub>-OH)<sub>8</sub>]<sup>22+</sup> core has been hydrothermally synthesized. Magnetic analyses indicate that this complex shows weak antiferromagnetic behavior with a relatively large magnetocaloric effect (−Δ<i>S</i><sub>m</sub><sup>max</sup> = 31.22 J kg<sup>–1</sup> K<sup>–1</sup>)
