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).

Novel triethoxysilane and dimethyl phosphonate functional vinylidene fluoride (VDF)-containing terpolymers, for potential applications in Eu ion extraction from water, were produced by conventional radical terpolymerization of VDF with vinyltriethoxylsilane (VTEOS) and vinyldimethylphosphonate (VDMP). Although initial attempts for the copolymerization of VTEOS and VDMP failed, the successful terpolymerization was initiated by peroxide to lead to multiple poly(VDF-ter-VDMP-ter-VTEOS) terpolymers, that had different molar percentages of VDF (70–90 mol.%), VTEOS (5–20 mol.%) and VDMP (10 mol.%) in 50–80% yields. The obtained terpolymers were characterized by 1H, 19F, 29Si and 31P NMR spectroscopies. The crosslinking of such resulting poly(VDF-ter-VDMP-ter-VTEOS) terpolymers was achieved by hydrolysis and condensation (sol–gel process) of the triethoxysilane groups in acidic media, to obtain a 3D network, which was analyzed by solid state 29Si and 31P NMR spectroscopies, TGA and DSC. The thermal stability of the terpolymers was moderately high (up to 300 °C under air), whereas they display a slight increase in their crystallinity-rate from 9.7% to 12.1% after crosslinking. Finally, the dimethyl phosphonate functions were hydrolyzed into phosphonic acid successfully, and the europium ion extraction capacity of terpolymer was studied. The results demonstrated a very high removal capacity of Eu(III) ions from water, up to a total removal at low concentrations.

Four new [2 × 2] square grid LnIII4 clusters were successfully synthesized by employing a multidentate chelating Schiff base ligand. Magnetic studies showed that cluster 1 displays a larger magnetocaloric effect (−ΔSm = 34.46 J kg−1 K−1 for ΔH = 7.0 T at 2.0 K), while 3 exhibits slow relaxation behavior under a zero dc field, with ΔE/kB of 42.76 K and τ0 of 1.02 × 10−6 s.

Two lantern-shaped, high-nuclearity 3d–4f clusters were synthesized by using iminodiacetic acid (IDA) and isonicotinic acid (HIN) as the co-ligand under solvothermal conditions. Magnetic studies show a large magnetocaloric effect (MCE) for the gadolinium analogue.
