Three-dimensional framework Dy 2 (amp H ) (C O 4 )(H O) ·10H exhibits thermo-induced dehydration and de-dimerization of amp 2− , accompanied by changes in its single-molecule magnetic behaviour luminescence properties.

Thermo-responsive (TR) gels of the LCST (lower critical solution temperature) type swell in water at temperatures below their volume phase transition temperature Tc and collapse above temperature. When is partially replaced with an organic liquid, these materials demonstrate three different types equilibrium solvent uptake diagrams below, above, close vicinity Tc. A model developed for swelling...
