Two isostructural lanthanide (Ln) hybrid complexes co-bridged by organic oxalate and inorganic hypophosphite, [Ln(oxa)(HPO)(HO)] (oxa = oxalate; Ln = Gd (1), Dy (2)), were solvothermally prepared with the goal of elucidating the role of a hybrid framework in the generation of novel molecular magnetic materials. The title compounds feature a two dimensional (2D) hybrid layer. The Ln ions are octa-coordinated with distorted square antiprism geometry. The adjacent Ln ions are co-bridged by hypophosphite and one type of oxalate ligand to form 1D hybrid chains, which are further linked by a second type of oxalate ligand to generate the resulting 2D framework. Magnetic investigations reveal that compound 1 features a large magnetocaloric effect with -ΔS = 46.60 J kg K (134.39 mJ cm K), due to the combined advantages of organic oxalate and inorganic hypophosphite ligands, while compound 2 displays slow magnetic relaxation.

Magnetocaloric high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have recently garnered significant interest owing to their potential applications in magnetic refrigeration, offering a wide working temperature range and large refrigerant capacity. In this study, we thoroughly investigated the structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of equiatomic GdDyHoErTm HEAs. The as-cast alloy exhibits a single hexagonal phase, a randomly distributed grain orientation, and complex magnetism.

Adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration (ADR) based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is a promising technique to achieve cryogenic temperature. However, magnetic entropy change (Δ), the driving force of ADR, remains far below theoretical -Δ = ln(2 + 1)/ for most magnetic refrigerants. Here, we report giant MCE in orthorhombic EuCl, where a ferromagnetic ground state with excellent single-ion behavior of Eu and free spins has been demonstrated by combining calculations with Brillouin function analysis and magnetic measurements.

This research mainly explores the structural, magnetic, magneto-transport, and magnetocaloric properties of the polycrystalline TbSrMnO compound. The results reveal a significant modification of the compound's ground state with increasing the strength of the magnetic field. The strong distortion in the crystal structure highly controls the magnetic and magneto-transport properties of the system.

A bulk gadolinium (Gd) single crystal exhibits virtually zero remnant magnetization, a common trait among soft uniaxial ferromagnets. This characteristic is reflected in our magnetometry data showing virtually hysteresis free isothermal magnetization loops with large saturation magnetization. The absence of hysteresis allows to model the measured easy axis magnetization as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field, rather than a relation, which permits the application of Maxwell relations from equilibrium thermodynamics.

Article Synopsis
- The automatic fixation of CO in air is crucial for creating Dy(III) and Gd(III) molecular magnets and refrigeration materials using a specific hydrazone Schiff base ligand.
- The choice of solvent, methanol vs. ethanol, significantly alters the final structures of the resulting Ln(III) cluster complexes, leading to the formation of distinct geometries, such as trapezoidal and triangular clusters.
- Investigations into the magnetic properties show that some clusters exhibit zero-field single-molecule magnet behavior, while others display significant magnetocaloric effects, indicating their potential applications in magnetic cooling technologies.
