Abstract

3d-Gd phosphonate clusters are attractive for their potential applications as magnetic coolers. A new pentanuclear cluster [Mn(II)2Gd(III)3(OH)(dtbmfPO3)2(tBuCO2)8(HO2CtBu)(H2O)2]·HO2CtBu·CH3CN (1) (dtbmfPO3H2 = (2,7-di-tert-butyl-9-methyl-9H-fluoren-9-yl)phosphonic acid) has been synthesised and characterised. The cluster has a planar structure in which the trinuclear {MnGd2(OH)} and dinuclear {MnGdO2} units are joined together by two phosphonate groups. The magnetic studies reveal that 1 shows antiferromagnetic interactions and a large magnetocaloric effect (ΔS = 20.9 J kg–1 K–1 at ΔH = 7 T).

[13]  Compound 1 was obtained by mixing Mn9 (0.2215 g, 0.1 mmol), Gd2 (0.1149 g, 0.075 mmol) and dtbmfPO3H2 (0.0372 g, 0.1 mmol) in CH3CN/CH2Cl2 (1 : 1) (16 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 12 h. The resulting solid was filtered and the colourless solution was kept in a vial for ~two weeks. Colourless crystals were collected by filtration, yield 0.03 g, 40 % (based on Gd2). Found: C 47.22, H 6.19, N 0.49 C96H154Gd3Mn2NO29P2 requires C 47.45, H 6.39, N 0.58 %.
