Abstract
Two new 3D lanthanide(III)-copper(II) organic frameworks based on unusual {OLn6} clusters have been successfully synthesized and fully characterized. Crystallographic studies showed that the {OLn6} clusters acted as 12-connected nodes that were linked together by [CuL2] (H2L = 3-hydroxypyrazine-2-carboxylic acid) moieties to construct an interesting 4,12-c net with the point symbol {4(36).6(30)}{4(4).6(2)}3. Magnetic studies revealed that these two isostructural heterometallic frameworks exhibited different magnetic properties, depending on the different anisotropies of the lanthanide spin carriers: Gd-Cu showed a large magnetocaloric effect, with an entropy change (-ΔS(m)) of 35.76 J kg(-1) K(-1), which is one of the largest values in high-dimensional complexes, whilst Dy-Cu exhibited slow relaxation of the magnetization at low temperatures.
