Abstract
Two di- and trinuclear Gd(III) clusters with the formulas {[Gd2(omba)6(phen)2]·2H2O} (1) and [Gd3(Hsa)5(sa)2(phen)3] (2) (Homba=o-methoxybenzoic acid, H2sa=salicylic acid and phen=1,10-phenanthroline) have been prepared through the hydrothermal reactions. Complex 1 takes a dinuclear structure and two Gd(III) are bridged by two syn-syn-μ2-η1:η1 and two syn-syn-μ2-η1:η2 carboxylates. While complex 2 is a trinuclear cluster linked by one syn-syn-μ2-η1:η2 and two syn-syn-μ2-η1:η1 carboxylates. Magnetic studies reveal the key impact of magnetic density on the magnetocaloric effect in Gd(III) systems. They exhibit relatively weak magnetic interactions and significant magnetic entropy changes with −ΔSmmax=17.1Jkg−1K−1 and 22.5Jkg−1K−1 (T=2K, ΔH=7T), respectively.
