Unique (3,12)-connected coordination polymers displaying high stability, large magnetocaloric effect and slow magnetic relaxation

Abstract

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 symbol of (420·626·820)(43)4. The magnetic studies reveal that 1 shows a −ΔSm = 46.6 J kg−1 K−1, falling among the largest values known to date, and 2 displays slow magnetic relaxation behavior. Both 1 and 2 have high thermal and solvent stabilities.
