1 showed the reversible crystalline-to-amorphous-like phase change, and the magneticphase transition temperature (
TC) was reversibly changed from 69 K at 0 GPa to 126 K at 4.7 GPa. Athigher pressure, the net magnetization was suppressed with increasing pressure, and the magnetic stateat 19.8 GPa was assumed to be paramagnetic. The initial ferrimagnetic phase of
1 was not recoveredafter releasing the pressure from 19.8 GPa. The magnetic phase of
2 was reversibly converted betweenferromagnetic and paramagnetic-like phase in the range 0

4.7 GPa while maintaining its crystallinity.The porous ferromagnet
3 was easily amorphized and irreversibly lost the ferromagnetic phase under lowpressure (
