Abstract

Two 24-nuclear lanthanide clusters, Gd24 and Dy24 were obtained and structurally characterized. Magnetic investigations reveal that Gd24 exhibits the largest entropy change (−ΔSm) of 46.12 J kg−1 K−1 for ΔH = 7 T in all reported molecular clusters, and single-molecule magnet behaviour is observed in Dy24.
