Abstract
Ferroelectricity, which has diverse important applications such as memory elements, capacitors, and sensors, was first discovered in a molecular compound, Rochelle salt, in 1920 by Valasek. Owing to their superiorities of lightweight, biocompatibility, structural tunability, mechanical flexibility, etc., the past decade has witnessed the renaissance of molecular ferroelectrics as promising complementary materials to commercial inorganic ferroelectrics. Thus, on the 100th anniversary of ferroelectricity, it is an opportune time to look into the future, specifically into how to push the boundaries of material design in molecular ferroelectric systems and finally overcome the hurdles to their commercialization. Herein, we present a comprehensive and accessible review of the appealing development of molecular ferroelectrics over the past 10 years, with an emphasis on their structural diversity, chemical design, exceptional properties, and potential applications. We believe that it will inspire intense, combined research efforts to enrich the family of high-performance molecular ferroelectrics and attract widespread interest from physicists and chemists to better understand the structure-function relationships governing improved applied functional device engineering.

Chemistry 2024; 30:e202302671.

Abstract
Organic ferroelectrics have received a great deal of interest due to their exclusive properties. However, organic ferroelectrics have not been fully explored, which hinders their practical application. Here, we presented a novel metal-free organic molecular ferroelectric [4-MCHA][ClO4 ] (1) (4-MCHA=trans-4-methylcyclohexylamine), which exhibits an above-room-temperature of 328 K. Strikingly, the single crystal structure analysis of 1 shows that the driving force of phase transition is related to the interesting chair-boat conformation change of 4-MCHA cation, in addition to the order-disorder transition of ClO4 - anion. Using piezoelectric response force microscopy (PFM), the presence of domains and the implemented polarization switching were clearly observed, which explicitly determined the presence of room-temperature ferroelectricity of 1. As far as we know, the ferroelectric phase transition mechanism attributed to the conformational change in a trans isomeric cation is very rare. This research enriched the path of designing ferroelectric materials and smart materials.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive multifunctional materials (SRMMs) have attracted tremendous attention due to their dynamic responses to external stimuli. However, it remains challenging to simultaneously achieve solvent-induced single-crystal to single-crystal (SCSC) transformation and structural phase transition after desolvation. Here, we report a two-dimensional (2D) rare-earth organic-inorganic hybrid coordinate polymer [(CH3)3NCH2Cl]2[Eu·H2O]2[CH2(SO3)2]4·2H2O (1) that exhibits a reversible SCSC transformation by changing to 2 ([(CH3)3NCH2Cl][Eu·H2O][CH2(SO3)2]2). Impressively, the SCSC transformation process couples with large changes in quantum efficiency dropped from 33.68% of 1 to 20.07% that of 2. Furthermore, polymer 2 shows an isomorphic structural phase transition associated with switching dielectric. Notably, the distance of the 2D layers shows reversible change during the two successive transition processes displaying a crystal sponge behavior. This work reveals the potential of rare-earth 2D hybrid coordination polymers in the design of multifunctional responsive materials and opens a new prospect to explore the construction of novel SRMMs.

Abstract
In recent years, molecular ferroelectrics have received great attention due to their low weight, mechanical flexibility, easy preparation and excellent ferroelectric properties. Among them, crown-ether-based molecular ferroelectrics, which are typically composed of the host crown ethers, the guest cations anchored in the crown ethers, and the counterions, are of great interest because of the host-guest structure. Such a structure allows the components to occur order-disorder transition easily, which is beneficial for inducing ferroelectric phase transition. Herein, we summarized the research progress of crown ether host-guest molecular ferroelectrics, focusing on their crystal structure, phase transition, ferroelectric-related properties. In view of the small spontaneous polarization and uniaxial nature, we outlook the chemical design strategies for obtaining high-performance crown-ether-based molecular ferroelectrics. This minireview will be of guiding significance for the future exploration of crown ether host-guest molecular ferroelectrics.

Abstract
Organic radical ferroics such as TEMPO have attracted widespread interest. However, the relatively low Curie temperature of 287 K and melting point of 311 K severely hinder its application potential. Despite extensive interest, high-temperature radical ferroics have not yet been found. Here, taking advantage of chemical design and supramolecular radical chemistry, we designed two high-temperature organic supramolecular radical ferroics [(NH3 -TEMPO)([18]crown-6)](ReO4 ) (1) and [(NH3 -TEMPO)([18]crown-6)](ClO4 ) (2), which can retain ferroelectricity up to 413 K and 450 K, respectively. To our knowledge, they are both the first supramolecular radical ferroics and unprecedented high-temperature radical ferroics, where the supramolecular component is vital for the stabilization of the radical and extending the working temperature window. Both also have paramagnetism, non-interacting spin moments, and excellent piezoelectric and electrostrictive behaviors comparable to that of LiNbO3 .

Abstract
A new amphiphilic penta(ethylene glycol) derivative (1) bearing two hydrogen-bonding -CONHC14H29 chains was prepared. Compound 1 exhibited ion-recognition abilities for Na+ and K+, and its properties were compared with those of the macrocyclic [18]crown-6. Although both compound 1 and [18]crown-6 have six ether oxygen atoms (-OC2H2-), the Na+-binding ability of the former was much higher than that of the latter. K+-binding ability of cyclic [18]crown-6 was much higher than its Na+-binding ability, while the reverse was true for acyclic compound 1. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis of Na+·1·B(Ph)4-·(hexane)2 at 100 K revealed the existence of a wrapped Na+-coordination by six ether and one carbonyl oxygen atoms of 1, which was further stabilized by intramolecular N-H···O═ hydrogen-bonding interactions. The complex phase transition during glass (G) formation and recrystallization was confirmed in the thermal cycle of Na+·1·B(Ph)4-, whose molten state showed two kinds of liquid phases, Na+-complexed (Na+·1) + B(Ph)4- and completely dissociated Na+ + 1 + B(Ph)4-. The Na+ conductivity of the molten state was 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of the G phase.

Abstract
Solid-state molecular rotor-type materials such as host-guest inclusion compounds are very desirable for the construction of molecular ferroelectrics. However, they usually have a low Curie temperature (Tc) and uniaxial nature, severely hindering their practical applications. Herein, by regulating the anion to control "momentum matching" in the crystal structure, we successfully designed a high-temperature multiaxial host-guest inclusion ferroelectric [(MeO-C6H4-NH3)(18-crown-6)][TFSA] (MeO-C6H4-NH3 = 4-methoxyanilinium, TFSA = bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)ammonium) with the Aizu notation of mmmFm. Compared to the parent uniaxial ferroelectric [(MeO-C6H4-NH3)(18-crown-6)][BF4] with a Tc of 127 K, the introduction of larger TFSA anions brings a lower crystal symmetry at room temperature and a higher energy barrier of molecular motions in phase transition, giving [(MeO-C6H4-NH3)(18-crown-6)][TFSA] multiaxial ferroelectricity and a high Tc up to 415 K (above that of BaTiO3). To our knowledge, such a record temperature enhancement of 288 K makes its Tc the highest among the reported crown-ether-based ferroelectrics, giving a wide working temperature range for applications in data storage, temperature sensing, actuation, and so on. This work will provide guidance and inspiration for designing high-Tc host-guest inclusion ferroelectrics.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are currently an active research topic in the field of energy and next-generation electronics. Their selectable organic and inorganic components provide infinite possibilities for designing functional materials with multiple applications. Herein, we present a new one-dimensional BaNiO3-like organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (thiazolidinium)CdBr3 (1), which displays a phase transition at 263 K and a switchable second harmonic generation (SHG) response. Intriguingly, 1 shows a pyroelectric coefficient pe of ∼0.6 μC·cm-2·K-1 and a piezoelectric output voltage of ∼2.0 V for our fabricated piezoelectric generation device, indicating its great potential for pyroelectric sensors, self-powered low-voltage electronic devices, and energy harvesters. Moreover, the presence of a specific thioether donor enables 1 to appropriately adsorb Pd(II) ions, which can be monitored by the corresponding change in phase transition behavior, SHG signal, and pyroelectric response. This work provides a new insight to develop new multifunctional materials, demonstrating the feasibility of utilizing organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites to realize future self-powered low-voltage devices and energy harvesters.

Abstract
Two new compounds were obtained by assembling the [(2-methoxy-5-nitro-anilinium)(18-crown-6)]+ cation with non-polar PF6- and polar SO3CF3- anions, respectively. Benefiting from its polar anion, the SO3CF3- compound reveals a more significant dielectric switching behaviour during phase transition, demonstrating an effective strategy to enhance the dielectric property by adding polar components.

Abstract
Molecular ferroelectrics as alternatives to the conventional inorganic ferroelectrics have been greatly developed in past decades; many of these have been discovered and designed through various chemical means due to their structural adjustability. However, it is still a huge challenge to obtain high (above room temperature) Curie temperature (Tc) molecular ferroelectrics to meet the application requirements. Here, we present a new organic-inorganic hybrid molecular ferroelectric, [cyclopentylammonium]2CdBr4 (1), showing a moderate above-room-temperature Tc of 340.3 K. The mechanism of the ferroelectric phase transition from Pnam to Pna21 in 1 is ascribed to the order-disorder transition of both the organic cations and inorganic anions, affording a spontaneous polarization of 0.57 μC/cm2 for the ferroelectric phase. Using piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), we clearly observed the antiparallel 180° stripe domains and realized the polarization switching, unambiguously establishing the existence of room-temperature ferroelectricity in the thin film. These attributes make it attractive for use in flexible devices, soft robotics, biomedical devices, and other applications.

Abstract
Perovskite-type formates have recently emerged as potential candidates for multiferroics. Previous ab initio calculations have concluded that copper guanidinium formate (CuGF) is a promising multiferroic. Although ab initio design and characterisation of inorganic multiferroics is at a mature stage, this situation is not true for multiferroic metal-organic frameworks. Regardless of these limitations, such predictions have also been extended to other materials. Here, we present with deeper insights into the structural aspects based on single crystal neutron diffraction studies, questioning such predictions in CuGF. The comparative investigation of the polar CuGF and its centrosymmetric cousin, MnGF, uncovers the differences in the N-H⋯O bonds. Such differences are associated with the Jahn-Teller distortion, which balances its influence on the local-environment of the three sets of ND2 in the guanidinium cation. Hydrogen bonds which were not dealt with in the previous ab initio studies have been carefully treated in this experimental study. Hence, providing a crucial understanding based on which an encouraging platform may be rendered for improving the ab initio calculations for hybrid perovskites catering various applications.

Abstract
Traditionally, lead and heavy metal containing inorganic oxides dominate the area of ferroelectricity. Although, recently, lightweight non-toxic organic ferroelectrics have emerged as excellent alternatives, achieving higher temperature up to which the ferroelectric phase can persist has remained a challenge. Moreover, only a few of those are single-component molecular ferroelectrics and were discovered upon revisiting their crystal structures. Here we report a novel phenanthroimidazole derivative, which not only displays notable spontaneous and highly stable remnant polarizations with a low coercive field but also retains its ferroelectric phase up to a record-high temperature of ∼521 K. Subsequently, the crystal undergoes phase transition to form non-polar and centrosymmetric polymorphs, the first study of its kind in a single-component ferroelectric crystal. Moreover, the compound exhibits a significantly high thermal stability. Given the excellent figures-of-merit for ferroelectricity, this material is likely to find potential applications in microelectronic devices pertaining to non-volatile memory.

Abstract
The development of molecular materials whose physical properties can be controlled by external stimuli - such as light, electric field, temperature, and pressure - has recently attracted much attention owing to their potential applications in molecular devices. There are a number of ways to alter the physical properties of crystalline materials. These include the modulation of the spin and redox states of the crystal's components, or the incorporation within the crystalline lattice of tunable molecules that exhibit stimuli-induced changes in their molecular structure. A switching behaviour can also be induced by changing the molecular orientation of the crystal's components, even in cases where the overall molecular structure is not affected. Controlling intermolecular interactions within a molecular material is also an effective tool to modulate its physical properties. This Review discusses recent advances in the development of such stimuli-responsive, switchable crystalline compounds - referred to here as dynamic molecular crystals - and suggests how different approaches can serve to prepare functional materials.

Abstract
Inorganic perovskite ferroelectrics are widely used in nonvolatile memory elements, capacitors, and sensors because of their excellent ferroelectric and other properties. Organic ferroelectrics are desirable for their mechanical flexibility, low weight, environmentally friendly processing, and low processing temperatures. Although almost a century has passed since the first ferroelectric, Rochelle salt, was discovered, examples of highly desirable organic perovskite ferroelectrics are lacking. We found a family of metal-free organic perovskite ferroelectrics with the characteristic three-dimensional structure, among which MDABCO (N-methyl-N'-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octonium)-ammonium triiodide has a spontaneous polarization of 22 microcoulombs per square centimeter [close to that of barium titanate (BTO)], a high phase transition temperature of 448 kelvins (above that of BTO), and eight possible polarization directions. These attributes make it attractive for use in flexible devices, soft robotics, biomedical devices, and other applications.

Abstract
Multifunctional materials that exhibit different physical properties in a single phase have potential for use in multifunctional devices. Herein, we reported an organic-inorganic hybrid compound [(18-crown-6)K][Fe(1)Cl(1)4 ]0.5 [Fe(2)Cl(2)4 ]0.5 (1) by incorporating KCl and FeCl3 into a 18-crown-6 molecule, which acts as a host of the six O atoms providing a lone pair of electrons to anchor the guest potassium cation, and [FeCl4 ]- as a counterion for charge balance to construct a complex salt. This salt exhibited a one-step reversible structural transformation giving two separate high and low temperature phases at 373 K, which was confirmed by systematic characterizations including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, variable-temperature structural analyses, and dielectric, impedance, variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. Interestingly, the structural transformation was coupled to both hysteretic dielectric phase transition, conductivity switch and magnetic-phase transition at 373 K. This result gives an idea for designing a new type of phase-transition materials harboring technologically important magnetic, conductivity and dielectric properties.

Abstract
Narrow band gaps and excellent ferroelectricity are intrinsically paradoxical in ferroelectrics as the leakage current caused by an increase in the number of thermally excited carriers will lead to a deterioration of ferroelectricity. A new molecular ferroelectric, hexane-1,6-diammonium pentaiodobismuth (HDA-BiI5 ), was now developed through band gap engineering of organic-inorganic hybrid materials. It features an intrinsic band gap of 1.89 eV, and thus represents the first molecular ferroelectric with a band gap of less than 2.0 eV. Simultaneously, low-temperature solution processing was successfully applied to fabricate high-quality ferroelectric thin films based on HDA-BiI5 , for which high-precision controllable domain flips were realized. Owing to its narrow band gap and excellent ferroelectricity, HDA-BiI5 can be considered as a milestone in the exploitation of molecular ferroelectrics, with promising applications in high-density data storage and photovoltaic conversion.

Abstract
An expedient strategy for the preparation of diiodinated diepoxydibenzo[c,k][1,9]dioxacyclohexadecines from readily available 2-(4-hydroxybut-1-yn-1-yl)benzaldehydes through electrophile-triggered tandem cyclization/intermolecular acetalation sequence has been presented. The electrophilic macrocyclization can be performed under mild conditions and in up to gram quantities. Moreover, palladium-catalyzed coupling and reduction reactions of the resulting iodides could efficiently afford oxa-macrocycles.

Abstract
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) is one of the outstanding properties for practical applications. However, the great majority of molecular ferroelectric materials have very low nonlinear optical coefficients, attenuating their attractive performance. Here we synthesized (4-amino-2-bromopyridinium)(4-amino-2-bromopyridine)tetrafluoroborate (1), whose second-order nonlinear optical coefficient reaches up to 2.56 pm V(-1), 2.67 times of that of KDP, and (4-amino-2-bromopyridinium)tetrafluoroborate (2), possessing a more incredible large second-order nonlinear optical coefficient as high as 10.24 pm V(-1), 10.67 times that of KDP. The compound 1 undergoes two reversible phase transitions at around T1 = 244.1 K and T2 = 154.6 K, caused by dramatic changes of the protonated cations and order-disorder of anions, which was disclosed by differential scanning calorimetry, heat capacity, dielectric anomalies, SHG, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The pyroelectric measurements reveal that compound 1 is a Rochelle salt type ferroelectric, which has a large spontaneous polarization of about 3 μC/cm(2).

Abstract
The ever-emerging demands on miniaturization of electronic devices have pushed the development of innovative materials with desired properties. One major endeavor is the development of organic- or organic-inorganic hybrid-based electronics as alternatives or supplements to silicon-based devices. Herein we report the first observation of the coexistence of resistance switching and ferroelectricity in a metal-organic framework (MOF) material, [InC16H11N2O8]·1.5H2O, denoted as RSMOF-1. The electrical resistance of RSMOF-1 can be turned on and off repeatedly with a current ratio of 30. A first-principles molecular dynamics simulation suggests that the resistive switching effect is related to the ferroelectric transition of N···H-O···H-N bridge-structured dipoles of the guest water molecules and the amino-tethered MOF nanochannel. The discovery of the resistive switching effect and ferroelectricity in MOFs offers great potential for the physical implementation of novel electronics for next-generation digital processing and communication.
