title: Large magnetocaloric effect in a dense and stable inorganic-organic hybrid cobridged by in situ generated sulfate and oxalate.
abstract: A dense and stable inorganic-organic hybrid with distorted cubic [Gd4O4] units as building blocks bridged by in situ generated sulfate and oxalate was synthesized. Magnetic measurements indicate that the title complex features a -ΔS(m)(max)=51.49 J kg(-1) K(-1), which is among the highest values reported so far.
