Reaction of (aminomethyl)phosphonic acid (ampH2) with a mixture of gadolinium and cobalt pivalates under solvothermal conditions, led to a pseudo-icosahedral cage {Gd12}, which shows a large magnetocaloric effect (MCE).

Abstract An analytical method has been developed for determination of glyphosate herbicide and its major metabolite, (aminomethyl)phosphonic acid (AMFA), in natural waters. Sample pretreatment consisted of filtration, addition of phosphate buffer, concentration by rotary evaporation, and a final filtration before derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate. The derivatives were separated by anion exchange liquid chromatography and measured with a fluorescence detector. Standard curves were linear over 3 orders of magnitude and minimal detectable quantities were 10 ng/mL for glyphosate and 5 ng/mL for AMPA. The 20-fold concentration factor realized in sample preparation corresponds to ppb method detection limits for glyphosate and AMPA in natural waters. Recovery and storage studies were performed and are discussed.

3d-Gd phosphonate clusters are attractive for their potential applications as magnetic coolers. A new pentanuclear cluster [Mn(II)2Gd(III)3(OH)(dtbmfPO3)2(tBuCO2)8(HO2CtBu)(H2O)2]·HO2CtBu·CH3CN (1) (dtbmfPO3H2 = (2,7-di-tert-butyl-9-methyl-9H-fluoren-9-yl)phosphonic acid) has been synthesised and characterised. The cluster has a planar structure in which the trinuclear {MnGd2(OH)} and dinuclear {MnGdO2} units are joined together by two phosphonate groups. The magnetic studies reveal that 1 shows antiferromagnetic interactions and a large magnetocaloric effect (ΔS = 20.9 J kg–1 K–1 at ΔH = 7 T).
