Reversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal transition in Gd(iii) metal–organic frameworks induced by heat and solvents with a significant magnetocaloric effect

Abstract

The design and synthesis of a Gd(III) metal-organic framework with the formula of [Gd4(BTDI)3(DMF)4]n (JXUST-40, H4BTDI = 5,5′-(benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole-4,7-diyl)diisophthalic acid) are reported hererin. Interestingly, a reversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal transition between JXUST-40 and...
