title: Two isostructural 3D lanthanide coordination networks (Ln = Gd(3+), Dy(3+)) with squashed cuboid-type nanoscopic cages showing significant cryogenic magnetic refrigeration and slow magnetic relaxation.
abstract: Two isostructural lanthanide-based 3D coordination networks [Ln = Gd(3+) (1), Dy(3+)(2)] with densely packed distorted cuboid nanoscopic cages are reported for the first time. Magnetic characterization reveals that complex 1 shows a significant cryogenic magnetocaloric effect (-ΔSm = 44 J kg(-1) K(-1)), whereas 2 shows slow relaxation of magnetization.
