title: A metal-organic framework as attractive cryogenic magnetorefrigerant.
abstract: Magnetocaloric effect: A Gd(III)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) has an unprecedented large magnetocaloric effect around 2 K. It was shown to be an interesting magnetorefrigerant for ultralow-temperature applications, because it combines the advantages of molecular materials and the robustness of a framework with strong 3D chemical connections (see figure).
