Cover Story: Using a sulfur-containing ligand, a series of Ln₉ clusters were synthesized with a unique asymmetric hourglass-like architecture: the upper and lower bases are bridged by μ₄-OH and μ₃-OH, respectively—an unreported bridge mode in known Ln₉ clusters. Magnetic analysis reveals Gd₉ has a significant magnetocaloric effect (MCE), with maximum entropy change (−ΔS_m) reaching a competitive value of 34.41 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹ at 2 K and ΔH = 7 T—despite having the highest molar mass among all reported Gd₉ with MCE. Meanwhile, Dy₉ exhibits distinct single-molecule magnet (SMM) characteristics. This work highlights the sulfur-containing ligand’s critical role in cluster structure and exchange interactions, offering new insights into high-performance MCE material synthesis and magneto-structural relationships.
