Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of these complexes reveal that their central metallic core consists of two tetranuclear [Ni2Ln2O4] cubane subunits fused together by acetate and hydroxide bridges. The magnetic study of these complexes reveals a ferromagnetic interaction between the LnIII and the NiII center. The magnitude of exchange coupling between the NiII and LnIII center, parametrized from the magnetic data of the Gd analogue, gives J = +0.86 cm−1. The magneto caloric effect, studied for the NiII 4GdIII 4 complex, shows a maximum of magnetic entropy change, −ΔSm = 22.58 J kg−1 K−1 at 3 K for an applied external field of 5 T.}, organization = {Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO) and EU Feder Funds (Project CTQ2014-56312-P), the Junta de Andalucía (FQM-195 and the Project of Excellence P11-FQM- 7756), and the University of Granada for financial support.}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, title = {Heterometallic Octanuclear Ni(4)(II)Ln(4)(III) (Ln = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) Complexes Containing Ni(2)(II)Ln(2)(III)O(4) Distorted Cubane Motifs: Synthesis, Structure, and Magnetic Properties}, doi = {10.1021/acsomega.8b00292}, author = {Kalita, Pankaj and Goura, Joydeb and Herrera Martínez, Juan Manuel and Colacio Rodríguez, Enrique and Chandrasekhar, Vadapalli}, }
