Abstract

Three heterometallic cluster complexes {Ln₁₂Mo₄} featuring an Ln₁₂ core of a distorted truncated tetrahedron were synthesized with the assistance of four MoO₄²⁻ anions as ancillary ligands. Magnetic studies of the {Gd₁₂Mo₄} cluster revealed a large magnetocaloric effect due to the presence of the large number of weakly coupled Gd(III) ions.
