Popis: The magnetocaloric effect of gadolinium formate, Gd(OOCH)3, is experimentally determined down to sub-Kelvin temperatures by direct and indirect methods. This 3D metal-organic framework material is characterized by a relatively compact crystal lattice of weakly interacting Gd3+ spin centers interconnected via light formate ligands, overall providing a remarkably large magnetic:non-magnetic elemental weight ratio. The resulting volumetric magnetic entropy change is decidedly superior in Gd(OOCH)3 than in the best known magnetic refrigerant materials for liquid-helium temperatures and low-moderate applied fields.
