A ferromagnetically coupled diphenoxo-bridged Gd(3+)-Mn2+ dinuclear complex with a large magneto-caloric effect.

A novel diphenoxo-bridged Gd(3+)-Mn(2+) dimer is proposed as a good candidate for cryogenic magnetic refrigeration. The large MCE is enhanced by the ferromagnetic interaction between the two metal ions.
