The distinct nanosized cluster Gd22Ni21 was isolated using a mixture of anions (SO32- and SO42-) as templates, and to the best of our knowledge, this was the first such 3d-4f cluster to have been developed. Additionally, of a number of 3d-4f heterometallic clusters, Gd22Ni21 showed the largest low-field magnetic entropy change (26.1 J kg-1 K-1) at 2.0 K and ΔH = 2.0 T.
