Abstract

An unprecedented inner [Mn₁₈(CO₃)₉] inorganic core and [Mn₂₀] metal-organic periphery compose a high-nuclearity homometallic single-valent {Mn^II₃₈} molecular aggregate with a [Mn₆] ⊂ [Mn₁₂] ⊂ [Mn₈] ⊂ [Mn₁₂] matryoshka doll-like skeleton that displays a significant magnetocaloric effect (MCE).
