Breaking the law : Whereas antiferromagnetic interactions in crystalline carboxylates of lanthanides are often observed, ferromagnetism is unknown. The first example of a ferromagnetic interaction is observed for a crystalline sample of the gadolinium compound [{Gd(OAc) 3 (H 2 O) 2 } 2 ]⋅4 H 2 O (see picture Gd: gray, O: red).
