Abstract The transformation of Mn II glycolates (glc) between the three‐dimensional coordination polymer [Mn(glc) 2 ] n ( 1 ) and discrete mononuclear phase (H O) can be reversibly switched by water molecules, which dramatically change magnetocaloric effect (MCE) from maximum 6.9 J kg −1 K in to 60.3 . This case example reveals that magnetic coupling on MCE plays a dominant role over other factors such as density for 3d‐type refrigerants.

Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effects are observed in several classes of bulk magnetic materials. The resistance changes at metamagnetic transitions connected with reorientation 4f moments only moderate due to the relatively weak coupling and conduction electrons. Much larger GMR can be achieved by mechanisms involving d states (RhFe, RCo2), though most spectacular variations U-intermetallic antiferromagnets.
