Playing it cool : Almost all of the constituent parts of the complex [Ln III 4 M II 8 (OH) 8 (L) 8 (O 2 CR) 8 ]X 4 , namely the lanthanide ions Ln 3+ , the transition‐metal ions M 2+ , the bridging ligand L, the carboxylates, and the counterions X can be exchanged, thus allowing a thorough understanding of the individual contributions to the magnetocaloric effect. Example in picture: Gd purple, Cu green, O red, N blue.
