Abstract

The three-dimensional metal-organic framework Gd(HCOO)3 is characterized by a relatively compact crystal lattice of weakly interacting Gd(3+) spin centers interconnected via lightweight formate ligands, overall providing a remarkably large magnetic:non-magnetic elemental weight ratio. The resulting magnetocaloric effect per unit volume is decidedly superior in Gd(HCOO)3 than in the best known magnetic refrigerant materials for liquid-helium temperatures and low-moderate applied fields.

21. We refrain from discussing the magnetic ordering mechanism any further since this topic exceeds the scope of this article and its full comprehension requires additional measurements whose results will be exhaustively presented elsewhere.
