A one-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid ferroelectric exhibiting a dielectric-optical duple switch

Abstract

A one-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid, (C4H8NH2)2[BiCl5] (C4H8NH2+ = pyrrolidinium), exhibiting a reversible ferroelectric phase transition accompanied by switchable dielectric and quadratic nonlinear optical properties is reported. Theoretical study discloses that the ferroelectricity originates from both organic cations and inorganic anions. This finding paves the way for exploring new multifunctional molecule-based ferroelectrics.
