Abstract

Abstract : A {Gd18 } nanowheel was solvothermally synthesized. It features a rare single-stranded skeleton that looks like a Reuleaux triangle with vertices buckled in, represents the highest nuclearity and the largest size in any pure Ln wheels reported, and shows a large MCE. Abstract : An unprecedented {Gd18 } nanowheel was solvothermally synthesized with a novel diacylhydrazone ligand. It features a rare single-stranded skeleton just like a Reuleaux triangle with vertices buckled in, represents the highest nuclearity and largest size in lanthanide (Ln) wheels reported so far, and shows a large magnetocaloric effect (MCE).
