Three new Gd(III) based coordination polymers [Gd2(C2H6SO)(SO4)3(H2O)2]n (1), {[Gd4(HCOO)2(SO4)5(H2O)6]·H2O}n (2), and [Gd(HCOO)(SO4)(H2O)]n (3) were obtained by modifying gadolinium sulfate. With the gradual increase of the volume ratio of HCOOH and DMSO in synthesis, the formate anions begin to coordinate with metal centers; this results in the coordination numbers of sulfate anion increasing and the contents of water and DMSO molecules decreasing in target complexes. Accordingly, spin densities both per mass and per volume were enhanced step by step, which are beneficial for the magneto-caloric effect (MCE).

It still remains a great challenge to design and construct framework-structured weak ferromagnets with large canting angle which is an effective approach for high performance magnets. According to the strategy of antisymmetric interaction causing spin canting, we report the design of four cobalt compounds, which were tested by X-ray single crystal diffraction, TGA, PXRD, and magnetic measurement. Single-crystal structure analysis reveals that compound 1 has a 2D structure, complex 2 has a 3,4-connected 3D framework, and complex 3 exhibits a 3D net structure with rare 3,5-connected 2-nodal β-SnF2 topology and the solvent MeOH trapped in the 3D channels as guests.

Investigation into a hydrothermal reaction system with transition-metal (TM) ions, 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-lmethyl)benzene (BBTZ) and various charge-tunable Keggin-type polyoxometalates (POMs) led to the preparation of four new entangled coordination networks, [Co(II) (HBBTZ)(BBTZ)2.5 ][PMo12 O40 ] (1), [Cu(I) (BBTZ)]5 [BW12 O40 ]⋅H2 O (2), [Cu(II) (BBTZ)]3 [AsW(V) 3 W(VI) 9 O40 ]⋅10 H2 O (3), and [Cu(II) 5 (BBTZ)7 (H2 O)6 ][P2 W22 Cu2 O77 (OH)2 ]⋅6 H2 O (4). All compounds were characterized by using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
