🧪 Simplicity engineered for magnetism 🧲 📢 Preprint: Cr(pyrazine)₃ - maybe the simplest MOF with potential voids known. This perovskite analogue shows magnetic interactions rivaling the strongest known in inorganic materials, stabilizing magnetic order above RT. 🔗and🎥👇

💡In short: By leveraging molecular alloying, we've discovered a novel mechanism to control valence changes in a layered metal-organic material. Specifically, by alloying aliovalent Cr(pyrazine)I2 and Cr(pyrazine)2Br2, we can switch between Cr(II) and Cr(III) states thermally,

dramatically altering the materials’ magnetization and electrical conductivity by up to five orders of magnitude. This work establishes a new paradigm in the manipulation of (metal-organicI van der Waals crystals, where molecular alloying can drive complete and

temperature-tunable valence change transitions from parent materials that do not display any valence change transition themselves.

We dive into the potential of a chemically and structurally unique Eu(II)–organic net as a cutting-edge refrigerant for sub-K temperatures. Leveraging geometric frustration to prevent magnetic ordering, this material achieves remarkable efficiency in ultra-low-T environments.
