High-nuclearity cluster-type metal complexes are a unique class of compounds, many of which have aesthetically pleasing molecular structures. Their interesting physical and chemical properties arise primarily from the electronic and/or magnetic interplay between the component metal ions. Among the extensive studies in the past two decades, those on lanthanide-containing clusters, lanthanide-exclusive or heterometallic with transition metal elements, are most notable. The research was driven by both the synthetic challenges for these generally elusive species and their intriguing magnetic properties, which are useful for the development of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly magnetic cooling technologies.
