Three Giant Lanthanide Clusters Ln37(Ln = Gd, Tb, and Eu) Featuring A Double-Cage Structure.
Three homometallic high-nuclearity clusters, formulated as [(CO3)2@Ln37(LH3)8(CH3COO)21(CO3)12(μ3-OH)41(μ2-H2O)5(H2O)40]·(ClO4)21·(H2O)100(abbreviated as Ln37, Ln = Gd (1); Tb (2); Eu (3), LH3= 1,2,3-cyclohexanetriol) and featuring a double cage-like structure, were obtained through the reaction of 1,2,3-cyclohexanetriol, acetate ligand, and Ln(ClO4)3. The largest odd-numbered lanthanide cluster Gd37exhibits an entropy change (-ΔSm) of 38.7 J kg-1K-1.
