Two 3d-4f nanomagnets, [(Dy2Cu7II)-Cu-III] (1) and [(Gd6Cu12II)-Cu-III] (2), are synthesized under a two-step in situ reaction of picolinaldehyde. Not only the final adduct (hemiacetal), but also the intermediate (gem-diol) are visualized'' by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The Dy complex behaves as a single-molecule magnet, while the Gd complex exhibits a significant magnetocaloric effect. Theoretical calculations are employed to obtain the orientation of the magnetic moments and the magnetic exchange.
