[PMID: 38802980 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202401395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Phase transitions in molecular solids involve synergistic changes in chemical and electronic structures, leading to diversification in physical and chemical properties. Despite the pivotal role of hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) in many phase-transition materials, it is rare and challenging to chemically regulate the dynamics and to elucidate the structure-property relationship. Here, four high-spin CoII compounds were isolated and systematically investigated by modifying the ligand terminal groups (X=S, Se) and substituents (Y=Cl, Br). S-Cl and Se-Br undergo a reversible structural phase transition near room temperature, triggering the rotation of 15-crown-5 guests and the swing between syn- and anti-conformation of NCX- ligands, accompanied by switchable magnetism. Conversely, S-Br and Se-Cl retain stability in ordered and disordered phases, respectively. H-bonds geometric analysis and ab initio calculations reveal that the electronegativity of X and Y affects the strength of NY-ap-H⋅⋅⋅X interactions. Entropy-driven structural phase transitions occur when the H-bond strength is appropriate; otherwise, the phase stays unchanged if it is too strong or weak. This work highlights a phase transition driven by H-bond strength complementarity - pairing strong acceptor with weak donor and vice versa, which offers a straightforward and effective approach for designing phase-transition molecular solids from a chemical perspective.

Chiral multiferroicity in two-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. Nat Commun 2024; 15:5556.

Abstract
Chiral multiferroics offer remarkable capabilities for controlling quantum devices at multiple levels. However, these materials are rare due to the competing requirements of long-range orders and strict symmetry constraints. In this study, we present experimental evidence that the coexistence of ferroelectric, magnetic orders, and crystallographic chirality is achievable in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites [(R/S)-β-methylphenethylamine]2CuCl4. By employing Landau symmetry mode analysis, we investigate the interplay between chirality and ferroic orders and propose a novel mechanism for chirality transfer in hybrid systems. This mechanism involves the coupling of non-chiral distortions, characterized by defining a pseudo-scalar quantity, ξ = p ⋅ r ( p represents the ferroelectric displacement vector and r denotes the ferro-rotational vector), which distinguishes between (R)- and (S)-chirality based on its sign. Moreover, the reversal of this descriptor's sign can be associated with coordinated transitions in ferroelectric distortions, Jahn-Teller antiferro-distortions, and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya vectors, indicating the mediating role of crystallographic chirality in magnetoelectric correlations.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic metal halides (OIMHs) have drawn considerable attention due to their remarkable optoelectronic properties and substantial promise for nonlinear optical applications. In this research, phenazine has been selected as the organic cation because of its π-conjugated feature. Three compounds, (C12H9N2)PbCl3, (C12H9N2)SbCl4, and (C12H9N2)2InBr4·Br, were synthesized. Initial space group assignments were centrosymmetric for (C12H9N2)PbCl3 and (C12H9N2)SbCl4. However, under 1550 nm laser excitation, (C12H9N2)PbCl3 and (C12H9N2)SbCl4 exhibited second harmonic generation intensities ∼1.7 times greater than that of the benchmark KH2PO4. Structural reevaluation ultimately confirmed non-centrosymmetric P1 and P21 space groups for (C12H9N2)PbCl3 and (C12H9N2)SbCl4, respectively. Upon excitation at 335 nm and 470 nm, (C12H9N2)PbCl3, (C12H9N2)SbCl4, and (C12H9N2)2InBr4·Br emit fluorescence at room temperature. (C12H9N2)2InBr4·Br exhibits reversible phase transitions, showing potential for phase change energy storage. Our research underscores the critical role of comprehensive experimental validation in determining the precise crystallographic space groups and reveals the extensive potential of OIMHs as versatile candidates for advanced optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Ferroelectrics have become indispensable components in various application fields, including information processing, energy harvesting, and electromechanical conversion, owing to their unique ability to exhibit electrically or mechanically switchable polarization. The distinct polar noncentrosymmetric lattices of ferroelectrics make them highly responsive to specific crystal structures. Even slight changes in the lattice can alter the polarization configuration and response to external fields. In this regard, strain engineering has emerged as a prevalent regulation approach that not only offers a versatile platform for structural and performance optimization within ferroelectrics but also unlocks boundless potential in various functional materials. In this review, we systematically summarize the breakthroughs in ferroelectric-based functional materials achieved through strain engineering and progress in method development. We cover research activities ranging from fundamental attributes to wide-ranging applications and novel functionalities ranging from electromechanical transformation in sensors and actuators to tunable dielectric materials and information technologies, such as transistors and nonvolatile memories. Building upon these achievements, we also explore the endeavors to uncover the unprecedented properties through strain engineering in related chemical functionalities, such as ferromagnetism, multiferroicity, and photoelectricity. Finally, through discussions on the prospects and challenges associated with strain engineering in the materials, this review aims to stimulate the development of new methods for strain regulation and performance boosting in functional materials, transcending the boundaries of ferroelectrics.

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.

Abstract
Luminescent chiral Tb-MOF microcrystals with the Tb2(COO)4 subunit indicated strong green mechano-luminescence under compression. Furthermore, piezofluorochromic behavior in the diamond anvil cell was observed, with the intensity tendency of decreasing-increasing-decreasing and a shortened lifetime upon compression, due to the reversible stretchable Tb-Tb interactions. The Tb-Tb distance upon compression was refined through in situ high-pressure X-ray absorption spectra, which was consistent with the tendency of the piezofluorochromic intensity. In situ high-pressure UV-vis absorption spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectra, and powder X-ray diffraction demonstrated the full recovery of Tb-MOF after over 10 GPa compressions due to the semiflexible ligand. This work not only provided an ultrastable Tb-MOF but also illustrated the relationship of the piezofluorochromic behavior with the detailed structural transformation for the first time.

Abstract
Materials that integrate magnetism, electricity and luminescence can not only improve the operational efficiency of devices, but also potentially generate new functions through their coupling. Therefore, multifunctional synergistic effects have broad application prospects in fields such as optoelectronic devices, information storage and processing, and quantum computing. However, in the research field of molecular materials, there are few reports on the synergistic multifunctional properties. The main reason is that there is insufficient awareness of how to obtain such material. In this brief review, we summarized the molecular materials with this characteristic. The structural phase transition of substances will cause changes in their physical properties, as the electronic configurations of the active unit in different structural phases are different. Therefore, we will classify and describe the multifunctional synergistic complexes based on the structural factors that cause the first-order phase transition of the complexes. This enables us to quickly screen complexes with synergistic responses to these properties through structural phase transitions, providing ideas for studying the synergistic response of physical properties in molecular materials.

Abstract
The organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite compounds have been extensively studied since the dawn of a new era in the field of photovoltaic applications. Up to now, perovskites have proven to be the most promising in terms of power conversion efficiency; however, their main disadvantages for use in solar cells are toxicity and chemical instability. Therefore, it is essential to develop a hybrid perovskite that can be replaced with lead-free materials. This review focuses on the possibility of applying lead-free organic-inorganic perovskite types [NH3(CH2)nNH3]MCl4 (n = 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6; M = Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, and Cd) crystals. We are seeking organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials with very high temperature stability or without phase transition temperature, and thermal stability. Thus, by considering the characteristics according to the methylene lengths and the various transition metals, we aim to identify improved materials meeting the criteria mentioned above. Consequently, the physicochemical properties of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite [NH3(CH2)nNH3]MCl4 regarding the effects of various transition metal ions of the anion and the methylene lengths of the cation are expected to promote the development and application of lead-free hybrid perovskite solar cells.

Abstract
Since the last century, we have witnessed the development of molecular magnetism which deals with magnetic materials based on molecular species, i.e., organic radicals and metal complexes. Among them, the broadest attention was devoted to molecule-based ferro-/ferrimagnets, spin transition materials, including those exploring electron transfer, molecular nanomagnets, such as single-molecule magnets (SMMs), molecular qubits, and stimuli-responsive magnetic materials. Their physical properties open the application horizons in sensors, data storage, spintronics, and quantum computation. It was found that various optical phenomena, such as thermochromism, photoswitching of magnetic and optical characteristics, luminescence, nonlinear optical and chiroptical effects, as well as optical responsivity to external stimuli, can be implemented into molecule-based magnetic materials. Moreover, the fruitful interactions of these optical effects with magnetism in molecule-based materials can provide new physical cross-effects and multifunctionality, enriching the applications in optical, electronic, and magnetic devices. This Review aims to show the scope of optical phenomena generated in molecule-based magnetic materials, including the recent advances in such areas as high-temperature photomagnetism, optical thermometry utilizing SMMs, optical addressability of molecular qubits, magneto-chiral dichroism, and opto-magneto-electric multifunctionality. These findings are discussed in the context of the types of optical phenomena accessible for various classes of molecule-based magnetic materials.

Abstract
Polar compounds with switchable polarization properties are applicable in various devices such as ferroelectric memory and pyroelectric sensors. However, a strategy to prepare polar compounds has not been established. We report a rational synthesis of a polar CoGa crystal using chiral cth ligands (SS-cth and RR-cth, cth = 5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane). Both the original homo metal Co crystal and Ga crystal exhibit a centrosymmetric isostructure, where the dipole moment of metal complexes with the SS-cth ligand and those with the RR-cth ligand are canceled out. To obtain a polar compound, the Co valence tautomeric complex with SS-cth in the homo metal Co crystal is replaced with the Ga complex with SS-cth by mixing Co valence tautomeric complexes with RR-cth and Ga complexes with SS-cth. The CoGa crystal exhibits polarization switching between the pseudononpolar state at a low temperature and the polar state at a high temperature because only Co complexes exhibit changes in electric dipole moment due to metal-to-ligand charge transfer. Following the same strategy, the polarization-switchable CoZn complex was synthesized. The CoZn crystal exhibits polarization switching between the polar state at a low temperature and the pseudononpolar state at a high temperature, which is the opposite temperature dependence to that of the CoGa crystal. These results revealed that the polar crystal can be synthesized by design, using a chiral ligand. Moreover, our method allows for the control of temperature-dependent polarization changes, which contrasts with typical ferroelectric compounds, in which the polar ferroelectric phase typically occurs at low temperatures.

Field-Induced Antiferroelectric-Ferroelectric Transformation in Organometallic Perovskite Displaying Giant Negative Electrocaloric Effect. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:8298-8307.

Abstract
Antiferroelectric materials with an electrocaloric effect (ECE) have been developed as promising candidates for solid-state refrigeration. Despite the great advances in positive ECE, reports on negative ECE remain quite scarce because of its elusive physical mechanism. Here, a giant negative ECE (maximum ΔS ∼ -33.3 J kg-1 K-1 with ΔT ∼ -11.7 K) is demonstrated near room temperature in organometallic perovskite, iBA2EA2Pb3I10 (1, where iBA = isobutylammonium and EA = ethylammonium), which is comparable to the greatest ECE effects reported so far. Moreover, the ECE efficiency ΔS/ΔE (∼1.85 J cm kg-1 K-1 kV-1) and ΔT/ΔE (∼0.65 K cm kV-1) are almost 2 orders of magnitude higher than those of classical inorganic ceramic ferroelectrics and organic polymers, such as BaTiO3, SrBi2Ta2O9, Hf1/2Zr1/2O2, and P(VDF-TrFE). As far as we know, this is the first report on negative ECE in organometallic hybrid perovskite ferroelectric. Our experimental measurement combined with the first-principles calculations reveals that electric field-induced antipolar to polar structural transformation results in a large change in dipolar ordering (from 6.5 to 45 μC/cm2 under the ΔE of 18 kV/cm) that is closely related to the entropy change, which plays a key role in generating such giant negative ECE. This discovery of field-induced negative ECE is unprecedented in organometallic perovskite, which sheds light on the exploration of next-generation refrigeration devices with high cooling efficiency.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites are extensively investigated as efficient solution-processable materials for photovoltaic applications. The greatest stability and performance of these compounds are achieved by mixing different ions at all three sites of the APbX3 structure. Despite the extensive use of mixed lead halide perovskites in photovoltaic devices, a detailed and systematic understanding of the mixing-induced effects on the structural and dynamic aspects of these materials is still lacking. The goal of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge on mixing effects on the structural phase transitions, crystal symmetry, cation and lattice dynamics, and phase diagrams of three- and low-dimensional lead halide perovskites. This review analyzes different mixing recipes and ingredients providing a comprehensive picture of mixing effects and their relation to the attractive properties of these materials.

Abstract
Actuating materials convert different forms of energy into mechanical responses. To satisfy various application scenarios, they are desired to have rich categories, novel functionalities, clear structure-property relationships, fast responses, and, in particular, giant and reversible shape changes. Herein, we report a phase transition-driven ferroelectric crystal, (rac-3-HOPD)PbI3 (3-HOPD = 3-hydroxypiperidine cation), showing intriguingly large and anisotropic room-temperature actuating behaviors. The crystal consists of rigid one-dimensional [PbI3] anionic chains running along the a-axis and discrete disk-like cations loosely wrapping around the chains, leaving room for anisotropic shape changes in both the b- and c-axes. The shape change is switched by a ferroelectric phase transition occurring at around room temperature (294 K), driven by the exceptionally synergistic order-disorder and displacive phase transition. The rotation of the cations exerts internal pressure on the stacking structure to trigger an exceptionally large displacement of the inorganic chains, corresponding to a crystal lattice transformation with length changes of +24.6% and -17.5% along the b- and c-axis, respectively. Single crystal-based prototype devices of circuit switches and elevators have been fabricated by exploiting the unconventional negative temperature-dependent actuating behaviors. This work provides a new model for the development of multifunctional mechanically responsive materials.

Abstract
Switchable spontaneous polarization is the vital property of ferroelectrics, which leads to other key physical properties such as piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity, and nonlinear optical effects, etc. Recently, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites with 2D layered structure have become an emerging branch of ferroelectric materials. However, most of the 2D hybrid ferroelectrics own relatively low polarizations (<15 µC cm-2 ). Here, a strategy to enhance the polarization of these hybrid perovskites by using ortho-, meta-, para-halogen substitution is developed. Based on (benzylammonium)2 PbCl4 (BZACL), the para-chlorine substituted (4-chlorobenzylammonium)2 PbCl4 (4-CBZACL) ferroelectric semiconductor shows a large spontaneous polarization (23.3 µC cm-2 ), which is 79% larger than the polarization of BZACL. This large enhancement of polarization is successfully explained via ab initio calculations. The study provides a convenient and efficient strategy to promote the ferroelectric property in the hybrid perovskite family.

Abstract
All crystals are not ideal, and many of their properties are often determined not by the regular arrangement of atoms, but by the irregular arrangement of crystal defects. Many properties of materials can be controlled effectively by proper use of solid defects. By substitution of NH4 + ion of a hexagonal perovskite structure (H2 dabco)(NH4 )(NO3 )3 (dabco=1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 1) with Cd2+ ion, we obtained a new metal-vacancy compound (H2 dabco)2 Cd(H2 O)2 (NO3 )6 (2). It exhibits a ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition at 261 K. A comparison of the various-temperature single-crystal structures indicates that the coordination twist of Cd2+ ion leads to instability of the lattices and excellent ferroelectricity. These findings reveal that the vacancy can be utilized as an element to produce ferroelectricity and may start the chemistry of metal-vacancy coordination compounds. These findings reveals that the vacancy can be utilized as an effective means to tune the symmetry and produce ferroelectricity.

Abstract
Ferroelectricity in metals has advanced since the initial discovery of nonmagnetic ferroelectric-like metal LiOsO[Formula: see text], anchored in the Anderson and Blount prediction. However, evaluating the spontaneous electric polarization (SEP) of this metal has been hindered by experimental and theoretical obstacles. The experimental challenge arises from difficulties in switching polarization using an external electric field, while the theoretical limitation lies in existing methods applicable only to nonmetals. Zabalo and Stengel (Phys Rev Lett 126:127601, 2021, https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.126.127601 ) addressed the experimental obstacle by proposing flexoelectricity as an alternative for practical polarization switching in LiOsO[Formula: see text], which requires a critical bending radius similar to BaTiO[Formula: see text]. In this study, we focus on resolving the theoretical obstacle by modifying the Berry phase and Wannier functions approaches within density functional theory plus modern theory of polarization. By employing these modifications, we calculate the SEP of LiOsO[Formula: see text], comparable to the polarization of BaTiO[Formula: see text]. We validate our predictions using various ways. This study confirms the coexistence of ferroelectricity and metallicity in this new class of ferroelectric-like metals. Moreover, by addressing the theoretical limitation and providing new insights into polarization properties, our study complements the experimental flexoelectricity proposal and opens avenues for further exploration and manipulation of polarization characteristics. The developed approaches, incorporating modified Berry phase and Wannier function techniques, offer promising opportunities for studying and designing novel materials, including bio- and nano-ferroelectric-like metals. This study contributes to the advancement of ferroelectricity in metals and provides a foundation for future research in this exciting field.

Abstract
[CH3NH3][Co(HCOO)3] is the first perovskite-like metal-organic framework exhibiting spin-driven magnetoelectric effects. However, the high-pressure tuning effects on the magnetic properties and crystal structure of [CH3NH3][Co(HCOO)3] have not been studied. In this work, alongside ac magnetic susceptibility measurements, we investigate the magnetic transition temperature evolution under high pressure. Upon increasing the pressure from atmospheric pressure to 0.5 GPa, TN (15.2 K) remains almost unchanged. Continuing to compress the sample results in TN gradually decreasing to 14.8 K at 1.5 GPa. This may be due to pressure induced changes in the bond distance and bond angle of the O-C-O superexchange pathway. In addition, by using high pressure powder X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, we conducted in-depth research on the pressure dependence of the lattice parameters and Raman modes of [CH3NH3][Co(HCOO)3]. The increase in pressure gives rise to a phase transition from the orthorhombic Pnma to a monoclinic phase at approximately 6.13 GPa. Our study indicates that high pressure can profoundly alter the crystal structure and magnetic properties of perovskite type MOF materials, which could inspire new endeavors in exploring novel phenomena in compressed metal-organic frameworks.

Abstract
Partial charge fluctuations in the charge-ordered state of a material, often triggered by structural disorders and/or defects, can significantly alter its physical characteristics, such as magnetic long-range ordering. However, it is difficult to post-chemically fix such accidental partial fluctuations to reconstruct a uniform charge-ordered state. Herein, we report CO2 -aided charge ordering demonstrated in a CO2 -post-captured layered magnet, [{Ru2 (o-ClPhCO2 )4 }2 {TCNQ(OMe)2 }] ⋅ CO2 (1⊃CO2 ; o-ClPhCO2 - =ortho-chlorobenzoate; TNCQ(OMe)2 =2,5-dimethoxy-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane). Pristine porous layered magnet 1 had a partially charge-fluctuated ordered state, which provided ferrimagnetic ordering at TC =65 K. Upon loading CO2 , 1 adsorbed one mole of CO2 , forming 1⊃CO2 , and raising TC to 100 K. This was because of the vanishing charge fluctuations without significantly changing the framework structure. This research illustrates the post-accessible host-guest chemistry delicately combined with charge, spin, and lattice ordering in a spongy magnet. Furthermore, it highlights how this innovative approach opens up new possibilities for technology and nanoscale magnetism manipulation.

Abstract
An organic-inorganic hybrid ferroelectric, (C6H5CH2CH2NH3)2[HgI4], undergoes an exceptional structural phase transition near room temperature, triggered by a flip of half the organic cations and an order-disorder transition of the inorganic anions, and may be regarded as a displacive-type ferroelectric. This finding provides a new structural phase transition mechanism in molecule-based ferroelectrics.

Abstract
Thermally triggered spatial symmetry breaking in traditional ferroelectrics has been extensively studied for manipulation of the ferroelectricity. However, photoinduced molecular orbital breaking, which is promising for optical control of ferroelectric polarization, has been rarely explored. Herein, for the first time, we synthesized a homochiral fulgide organic ferroelectric crystal (E)-(R)-3-methyl-3-cyclohexylidene-4-(diphenylmethylene)dihydro-2,5-furandione (1), which exhibits both ferroelectricity and photoisomerization. Significantly, 1 shows a photoinduced reversible change in its molecular orbitals from the 3 π molecular orbitals in the open-ring isomer to 2 π and 1 σ molecular orbitals in the closed-ring isomer, which enables reversible ferroelectric domain switching by optical manipulation. To our knowledge, this is the first report revealing the manipulation of ferroelectric polarization in homochiral ferroelectric crystal by photoinduced breaking of molecular orbitals. This finding sheds light on the exploration of molecular orbital breaking in ferroelectrics for optical manipulation of ferroelectricity.

Abstract
Cyclophosphazenes offer a robust and easily modifiable platform for a diverse range of functional systems that have found applications in a wide variety of areas. Herein, for the first time, it reports an organophosphazene-based supramolecular ferroelectric [(PhCH2 NH)6 P3 N3 Me]I, [PMe]I. The compound crystallizes in the polar space group Pc and its thin-film sample exhibits remnant polarization of 5 µC cm-2 . Vector piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) measurements indicated the presence of multiaxial polarization. Subsequently, flexible composites of [PMe]I are fabricated for piezoelectric energy harvesting applications using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) as the matrix. The highest open-circuit voltages of 13.7 V and the maximum power density of 34.60 µW cm-2 are recorded for the poled 20 wt.% [PMe]I/TPU device. To understand the molecular origins of the high performance of [PMe]I-based mechanical energy harvesting devices, piezoelectric charge tensor values are obtained from DFT calculations of the single crystal structure. These indicate that the mechanical stress-induced distortions in the [PMe]I crystals are facilitated by the high flexibility of the layered supramolecular assembly.

Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen production via water splitting is the subject of intense research. Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) between a photosensitizer (PS) and a proton reduction catalyst is a prerequisite step and crucial to affecting hydrogen production efficiency. Herein, three photoactive metal-organic framework (MOF) systems having two different PET processes where PS and Co(II) centers are either covalently bonded or coexisting to drive photocatalytic H2 production are built. Compared to these two intramolecular PET systems including CoII -Zn-PDTP prepared from the post-synthetic metalation toward uncoordinated pyridine N sites of Zn-PDTP and sole cobalt-based MOF Co-PDTP, the CoII (bpy)3 @Zn-PDTP system impregnated by molecular cocatalyst possessing intermolecular PET process achieves the highest H2 evolution rate of 116.8 mmol g-1 h-1 over a period of 10 h, about 7.5 and 9.3 times compared to CoII -Zn-PDTP and Co-PDTP in visible-light-driven H2 evolution, respectively. Further studies reveal that the enhanced photoactivity in CoII (bpy)3 @Zn-PDTP can be ascribed to the high charge-separation efficiency of Zn-PDTP and the synergistic intermolecular interaction between Zn-PDTP and cobalt complexes. The present work demonstrates that the rational design of PET process between MOFs and catalytic metal sites can be a viable strategy for the development of highly efficient photocatalysts with enhanced photocatalytic activities.

Abstract
We report for the first time the synthesis of [C(NH2)3]Cr(HCOO)3 stabilizing Cr2+ in formate perovskite, which adopts a polar structure and orders magnetically below 8 K. We discuss in detail the magnetic properties and their coupling to the crystal structure based on first-principles calculations, symmetry, and model Hamiltonian analysis. We establish a general model for the orbital magnetic moment of [C(NH2)3]M(HCOO)3 (M = Cr, Cu) based on perturbation theory, revealing the key role of the Jahn-Teller distortions. We also analyze their spin and orbital textures in k-space, which show unique characteristics.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid compounds have recently gained significant attention in recent years due to their diverse applications. Herein, [NH3(CH2)6NH3]ZnCl4 crystals were grown, and their triclinic structure, phase transition temperature (TC = 408 K), and high thermal stability (Td = 584 K) was determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetry measurements. By analyzing the chemical in response to temperature changes, we observed that the coordination geometry around 1H and 13C were highly symmetric below TC, whereas their symmetry was lowered above TC. The change of N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bond from XRD results and the change of 14N NMR chemical shifts was due to the changes to the coordination geometry of Cl- around Zn2+ in the ZnCl4 anion. The activation energy of 1H was three times greater than that of 13C, and this result indicates that the energy transfer of 13C was easier than those of 1H. We compared the results for [NH3(CH2)nNH3]ZnCl4 (n = 6) studied here with those for n = 2, 3, 4, and 5 obtained from previous studies. The characteristics of the length of CH2 in the methylene chain are expected to be used for potential applications in the near future.

Abstract
Ferroelectric, pyroelectric, and piezoelectric compounds whose electric polarization properties can be controlled by external stimuli such as electric field, temperature, and pressure have various applications, including ferroelectric memory materials, sensors, and thermal energy-conversion devices. Numerous polarization switching compounds, particularly molecular ferroelectrics and pyroelectrics, have been developed. In these materials, the polarization switching usually proceeds via ion displacement and reorientation of polar molecules, which are responsible for the change in ionic polarization and orientational polarization, respectively. Recently, the development of electronic ferroelectrics, in which the mechanism of polarization change is charge ordering and electron transfer, has attracted great attention. In this article, representative examples of electronic ferroelectrics are summarized, including (TMTTF)2X (TMTTF = tetramethyl-tetrathiafulvalene, X = anion), α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 (BEDT-TTF = bis(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene), TTF-CA (TTF = tetrathiafulvalene, CA = p-chloranil), and [(n-C3H7)4N][FeIIIFeII(dto)3] (dto = 1,2-dithiooxalate = C2O2S2). Furthermore, polarization switching materials using directional electron transfer in nonferroelectrics, the so-called electronic pyroelectrics, such as [(Cr(SS-cth))(Co(RR-cth))(μ-dhbq)](PF6)3 (dhbq = deprotonated 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone, cth = 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraaza-cyclotetradecane), are introduced. Future prospects are also discussed, particularly the development of new properties in polarization switching through the manipulation of electronic polarization in electronic ferroelectrics and electronic pyroelectrics by taking advantage of the inherent properties of electrons.

Abstract
Ferroelectric perovskites, where ferroelectricity is embedded in the structure, are being considered for different device applications. In this study, we introduce Cs2PbI2Cl2, an all-inorganic 2D Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) halide perovskite, as a ferroelectric material suitable for pyro-phototronic applications. Thin-films of the all-inorganic perovskite are successfully cast, and they demonstrate ferroelectric properties. Unlike hybrid materials, the ferroelectricity in Cs2PbI2Cl2 does not rely on the organic moiety possessing an electric dipole moment. Instead, the 2D-layer-forming octahedra are twisted and tilted due to a distortion in the bond lengths, leading to the emergence of spontaneous electric polarization. Based on the properties, we fabricate p-i-n heterojunctions by integrating the perovskite with carrier-transport layers. To determine the band-energies of the materials, scanning tunneling spectroscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy are employed. The band-edges evidence a type-II band-alignment at both interfaces, enabling the material to exhibit both photovoltaic and pyroelectric behaviors when subjected to pulsed illumination. The devices based on the all-inorganic RP perovskite developed in this study exhibit pyro-phototronic effects and serve as self-powered photodetectors without any need for an external bias.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides with structural flexibility and solution processability have been widely investigated for different application scenarios. However, the effective construction of phase-transition materials with a high phase-transition temperature (Ttr) for potential practical applications remains a great challenge, and reports on the regulation of Ttr with significant enhancement have been rare. In this manuscript, we have realized a large Ttr increase of 148 K in a layered hybrid lead iodide crystal (4-FTMBA)4Pb3I10 (4-FTMBA = 4-fluoro-N,N,N-trimethylbenzenaminium) by the H/F substitution strategy. Compared to the parent (TMBA)4Pb3I10 (TMBA = N,N,N-trimethylbenzenaminium), H/F substitution preserves the structural framework and crystal symmetry in (4-FTMBA)4Pb3I10. The introduction of heavier fluorine will significantly increase the motion barrier for the order-disorder transition, resulting in the remarkably improved Ttr. Temperature-dependent crystal structures, Raman spectra, and dielectric analyses well support the phase-transition behavior. In addition, evident thermochromism with a tunable direct band gap in (4-FTMBA)4Pb3I10 has been observed using UV-vis spectra. To the best of our knowledge, the achieved Ttr enhancement of 148 K by H/F substitution is the highest among the organic-inorganic hybrid lead halide phase-transition materials. This finding would greatly inspire the rational design of functional materials with high performance.

Abstract
Understanding the physicochemical properties of organic-inorganic hybrid materials is essential to promote their applications. In this study, a single crystal of NH2(CH3)2CdCl3 was grown, and it exhibited a monoclinic structure. Its phase transition temperatures were 460 and 470 K, and it showed sufficient thermal stability. The changes in the NMR chemical shifts of each atom in the crystal with increasing temperature were determined; the chemical shift of 1H of NH2 in the NH2(CH3)2 cation changed with temperature, which was correlated to the changes in the chemical shift of 14N in NH2. The change in 113Cd chemical shifts indicate the change of six Cl atoms around Cd in CdCl6. Therefore, the change in the coordination geometry of CdCl6 is attributed to the change in the N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bond between the NH2(CH3)2 cation and CdCl6 anion. In addition, the 13C activation energies Ea obtained from the spin-lattice relaxation time T1ρ values are smaller than those of the 1H Ea values, suggesting that is free compared to 1H in the cation. We believe that this study furthers our fundamental understanding of organic-inorganic hybrid materials to promote their practical solar cell applications.

Abstract
Multifarious molecular ferroelectrics with multipolar axial characteristics have emerged in recent years, enriching the scenarios for energy harvesting, sensing, and information processing. The increased polar axes have enhanced the urgency of distinguishing different polarization states in material design, mechanism exploration, etc. However, conventional methods hardly meet the requirements of in situ, fast, microscale, contactless, and nondestructive features due to their inherent limitations. Herein, SHG polarimetry is introduced to probe the multioriented polarizations on a nanosized multiaxial molecular ferroelectric, i.e., TMCM-CdCl3 nanoplates, as an example. Combined with the analysis of the second-order susceptibility tensor, SHG polarimetry could serve as an effective method to detect the polarization orders and domain distributions of molecular ferroelectrics. Profiting from the full-optical feature, SHG polarimetry can even be performed on samples covered by transparent mediums, 2D materials, or thin metal electrodes. Our research might spark further fundamental studies and expand the application boundaries of next-generation ferroelectric materials.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides for high-temperature phase transition have become increasingly popular owing to their wide operating temperature range in practical applications, e.g., energy storage, permittivity switches and opto-electronic devices. This paper describes the subtle assembly of two new hybrid perovskite crystals, [Cl-C6H4-(CH2)2NH3]2CdX4 (X = Br 1; Cl 2), undergoing high-T reversible phase transformations around 335 K/356 K. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and VT PXRD tests uncover their reversible first-order phase transition behaviors. Furthermore, the compounds exhibit switchable dielectricity near T, making them potential dielectric switching materials. Hirshfeld surface analysis well discloses a distinct difference in hydrogen-bonding interaction between 1 and 2. UV spectra and computational analysis demonstrate that the compounds are a type of direct-band-gap semiconductor. This research will contribute an effective approach to the structure and development of multifunctional molecular hybrid crystals.

Abstract
A two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (OIHP) material with out-of-plane ferroelectricity is the key to the miniaturization of vertical-sandwich-type ferroelectric optoelectronic devices. However, 2D OIHP ferroelectrics with out-of-plane polarization are still scarce, and effective design strategies are lacking. Herein, we report a novel 2D Dion-Jacobson perovskite ferroelectric semiconductor synthesized by a rigid-to-flexible cationic tailoring strategy, achieving an out-of-plane polarization of 1.7 μC/cm2 and high photoresponse. Integrating out-of-plane ferroelectricity with excellent photoelectric properties affords a promising platform to investigate ferroelectricity-related effects in vertical optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Chiral ferroelectric crystals with intriguing features have attracted great interest and many with point or axial chirality based on the stereocarbon have been successively developed in recent years. However, ferroelectric crystals with stereogenic heteroatomic chirality have never been documented so far. Here, we discover and report a pair of enantiomeric stereogenic sulfur-chiral single-component organic ferroelectric crystals, Rs -tert-butanesulfinamide (Rs -tBuSA) and Ss -tert-butanesulfinamide (Ss -tBuSA) through the deep understanding of the chemical design of molecular ferroelectric crystals. Both enantiomers adopt chiral-polar point group 2 (C2 ) and exhibit mirror-image relationships. They undergo high-temperature 432F2-type plastic ferroelectric phase transition around 348 K. The ferroelectricity has been well confirmed by ferroelectric hysteresis loops and domains. Polarized light microscopy records the evolution of the ferroelastic domains, according with the fact that the 432F2-type phase transition is both ferroelectric and ferroelastic. The very soft characteristics with low elastic modulus and hardness reveals their excellent mechanical flexibility. This finding indicates the first stereosulfur chiral molecular ferroelectric crystals, opening up new fertile ground for exploring molecular ferroelectric crystals with great application prospects.

Abstract
MOF ferroelectrics, as a crucial member of molecular ferroelectrics, have shown intriguing advantages owing to the designability of structures and tunability of physicochemical properties, which make them an appealing group of ferroelectric materials. However, the weak ferroelectric property still is a huge challenge for further development. Here, a series of Zr-doped MOF-802(Hf)s were successfully synthesized through doping Zr4+ ions into the parent MOF-802(Hf) to improve ferroelectric properties. The well-shaped P-E hysteresis loops of Zr-doped MOF-802(Hf)s illustrate their ferroelectricity, and ferroelectric properties are effectively enhanced compared with the parent MOF-802(Hf). What's more, remanent polarization reaches 0.511 μC/cm2 when the concentration of Zr4+ ions is 5%, which is 5 times higher than that of the parent MOF-802(Hf) and is on par with some perovskite ferroelectrics. The increased ferroelectric performance is attributed to the enhanced polarity of the whole structure triggered by lattice distortion when Hf4+ ions of the parent MOF-802(Hf) are substituted by Zr4+ ions. As far as we know, this is the first report on Hf-MOF exhibiting improved ferroelectric behaviors through doping metal ions into lattice nodes. This work demonstrates that introducing the second metal ions into lattice nodes of MOFs is an efficacious approach for exploiting MOF ferroelectrics with superior performance.

Abstract
The mechanism on ferroelectric phase transitions is mainly attributed to the displacive and/or order-disorder transition of internal components since the discovery of the ferroelectricity in 1920, rather than the breaking and recombination of chemical bonds. Here, we demonstrate how to utilize the chemical bond rearrangement in a diarylethene-based crystal to realize the light-driven mm2F1-type ferroelectric phase transition. Such a photoinduced phase transition is entirely driven by switchable covalent bonds with breaking and reformation, enabling the reversible light-controllable ferroelectric polarization switching, dielectric and nonlinear optical bistability. Moreover, light as quantized energy can achieve contactless, nondestructive, and remote-control operations. This work proposes a new mechanism of ferroelectric phase transition, and highlights the significance of photochromic molecules in designing new ferroelectrics for photocontrol data storage and sensing.

Abstract
An in-depth understanding of the physicochemical properties of the organic-inorganic hybrid [NH3(CH2)2NH3]2CdBr6 whose structure corresponds to the formulation [NH3(CH2)2NH3]2CdBr4· 2Br is essential for its application in batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the crystal structure, phase transition, structural geometry, and molecular dynamics of these complexes. Considering its importance, a single crystal of [NH3(CH2)2NH3]2CdBr6 was grown; the crystal structure was found to be monoclinic. The phase transition temperatures were determined to be 443, 487, 517, and 529 K, and the crystal was thermally stable up to 580 K. Furthermore, the 1H, 13C, 14N, and 113Cd NMR chemical shifts caused by the local field surrounding the resonating nucleus of the cation and anion varied with increasing temperature, along with the surrounding environments of their atoms. In addition, 1H spin-lattice relaxation time T1ρ and 13C T1ρ, which represent the energy transfer around the 1H and 13C atoms of the cation, respectively, varied significantly with temperature. Consequently, changes in the coordination geometry of Br around Cd in the CdBr6 anion and the coordination environment around N (in the cation) were associated with changes in the N-H···Br hydrogen bond. The structural geometry revealed critical information regarding their basic mechanism of organic-inorganic hybrid compounds.

Abstract
A plethora of temperature-induced phase transitions have been observed in (CH3NH3)[M(HCOO)3] compounds, where M is Co(II) or Ni(II). Among them, the nickel compound exhibits a combination of magnetic and nuclear incommensurability below Néel temperature. Despite the fact that the zero-field behavior has been previously addressed, here we study in depth the macroscopic magnetic behavior of this compound to unveil the origin of the atypical magnetic response found in it and in its parent family of formate perovskites. In particular, they show a puzzling magnetization reversal in the curves measured starting from low temperatures, after cooling under zero field. The first atypical phenomenon is the impossibility of reaching zero magnetization, even by nullifying the applied external field and even compensating it for the influence of the Earth's magnetic field. Relatively large magnetic fields are needed to switch the magnetization from negative to positive values or vice versa, which is compatible with a soft ferromagnetic system. The atypical path found in its first magnetization curve and hysteresis loop at low temperatures is the most noticeable feature. The magnetization curve switches from more than 1200 Oe from the first magnetization loop to the subsequent magnetization loops. A feature that cannot be explained using a model based on unbalanced pair of domains. As a result, we decipher this behavior in light of the incommensurate structure of this material. We propose, in particular, that the applied magnetic field induces a magnetic phase transition from a magnetically incommensurate structure to a magnetically modulated collinear structure.

Abstract
Designable morphology and predictable properties are the most challenging goals in material engineering. Features such as shape, size, porosity, agglomeration ratio significantly affect the final properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and can be regulated throughout synthesis parameters but require a deep understanding of the mechanisms of MOFs formation. Herein, we systematically summarize the effects of the individual synthesis factors, such as pH of reaction mixture, including acidic or basic character of modulators, temperature, solvents types, surfactants type and content and ionic liquids on the morphology of growing MOFs. We identified main mechanisms of MOFs' growth leading to different morphology of final particles and next systematically discuss the effect of miscellaneous parameters on MOFs morphology based on the main mechanisms related to the nucleation, growth and formation of final MOFs structure, including coordination modulation, protonation/deprotonation acting and modulation by surfactants or capping agents. The effect of microwaves and ultrasound employment during synthesis is also considered due to their affecting especially nucleation and particles growing steps during MOFs formation.

Abstract
Benefiting from superior semiconducting properties and the angle-dependence of the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) on polarized light, the two-dimensional (2D) hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics are developed for sensitive self-powered polarized photodetection. Most of the currently reported ferroelectric-driven polarized photodetection is restricted to the shortwave optical response, and expanding the response range is urgently needed. Here we report the first instance of a FAPbI3-derived (2D) perovskite ferroelectric, (BA)2(FA)Pb2I7 (1, BA is n-butylammonium, FA is formamidinium). It exhibited a notably high thermostability and broad-spectrum adsorption extending to around 650 nm. Significantly, 1 demonstrated ferroelectricity-driven self-powered polarized photodetection under 637 nm with an anisotropic photocurrent ratio of ∼1.96, ultrahigh detectivity of 3.34 × 1012 Jones, and long-term repetition. This research will shed light on the development of new ferroelectrics for potential application in broad-spectrum polarization-based optoelectronics.

Abstract
In order to meet the needs of social development, increasing research attention has been paid to multifunctional molecular-based phase-transition materials. The traditional phase-transition materials with a single functional property can be transformed into magnificent ones by adding additional functional properties-for instance photoluminescence and magnetic order- because having two or more functional properties simultaneously greatly broadens the fields of their applications. At present, there are very few multifunctional phase-transition materials showing excellent performance, and the crystal structure design and performance optimization of materials still need to be studied in depth. Herein, we report the development of two organic-inorganic hybrid materials: (MBA)2ZnI4 (1, MBA = 4-methoxybenzylammonium) with switchable dielectricity and a high phase-transition temperature (Tc = 359.55 K), and (MBA)2ZnBr4 (2) with green luminescence (λexc = 314 nm) and nonlinear optical properties (0.75× KDP). A two-dimensional (2D) fingerprint analysis of the Hirshfeld surface plots revealed a significant difference between the hydrogen-bonding interaction before the phase transition and that afterwards. The two compounds were further verified, from energy band structure calculations, to be direct-band-gap semiconductors. In conclusion, this work has provided a viable strategy, involving the application of chemical modifications, for designing various functional materials.

Abstract
Dielectric switches have drawn renewed attention to the study of their many potential applications with the adjustable switch temperatures (Ts ). Herein, a novel antimony-based halide semiconductor, (N,N-diisopropylethylamine) tetrachloroantimonate ((DIPEA)SbCl4 , DIPEA+ =N,N-diisopropylethylamine), with dielectric relaxation behavior and dielectric switches has been successfully synthesized. This compound, consisting of coordinated anion S b C l 4 ∞ - ${{\left[{{\rm S}{\rm b}{\rm C}{\rm l}}_{4}\right]}_{\infty }^{-}}$ chains and isolated DIPEA+ cations, undergoes an isostructural order-disorder phase transition and shows a step-like dielectric anomaly, which can function as a frequency-tuned dielectric switch with highly adjustable switch temperature (Ts ). Variable-temperature single-crystal structure analyses and first-principles molecular dynamics simulations give information about the general mechanisms of molecular dynamics. This work enriches the dielectric switch family and proves that hybrid metal halides are promising candidates for switchable physical or chemical properties.

Abstract
Three coordination polymers (CPs 1-3) are prepared based on diverse electron-donating properties and coordination arrangements of conjugated ligands. Interestingly, this is also reflected in their photophysical properties. The distinguishable high emissive nature of the luminescent coordination polymer shows its potentiality toward the detection of the perilous substance 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) or picric acid (PA). TNP has a higher propensity among explosive nitroaromatic compounds (epNACs) due to its significant π···π interaction with the free benzene moieties present in the CPs. Among CPs 1-3, 2 exhibits the highest sensitivity and selectivity toward TNP because of the most favorable π-π stacking with the conjugated organic linker. The calculated limit of detection (LOD) and corresponding quenching constant (KSV) from the Stern-Volmer (SV) plot for 1, 2, and 3 are found to be 0.68 μM and 7.49 × 104 M-1, 0.41 μM and 8.01 × 104 M-1, and 1.18 μM and 8.1 × 104 M-1, respectively. The fluorescence quenching mechanism is also highly influenced by their structure and coordination arrangement.

Abstract
Polymorphism in crystals is known since 1822 and the credit goes to Mitscherlich who realized the existence of different crystal structures of the same compound while working with some arsenate and phosphate salts. Later on, this phenomenon was observed also in organic crystals. With the advent of different technologies, especially the easy availability of single crystal XRD instruments, polymorphism in crystals has become a common phenomenon. Almost 37 % of compounds (single component) are polymorphic to date. As the energies of the different polymorphic forms are very close to each other, small changes in crystallization conditions might lead to different polymorphic structures. As a result, sometimes it is difficult to control polymorphism. For this reason, it is considered to be a nuisance to crystal engineering. It has been realized that the property of a material depends not only on the molecular structure but also on its crystal structure. Therefore, it is not only of interest to academia but also has widespread applications in the materials science as well as pharmaceutical industries. In this review, we have discussed polymorphism which causes significant changes in materials properties in different fields of solid-state science, such as electrical, magnetic, SHG, thermal expansion, mechanical, luminescence, color, and pharmaceutical. Therefore, this review will interest researchers from supramolecular chemistry, materials science as well as medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Reversible regulation of ferroelectric polarization possesses great potentials recently in bionic neural networks. Photoinduced cis-trans isomers have changeable dipole moments, but they cannot be directed to some specific orientation. Here, we construct a host-guest composite structure which consists of a porous ferroelectric metal (Ni)-organic framework [Ni(DPA)2] as host and photoisomer, azobenzene (AZB), as guest molecules. When AZB molecules are embedded in the nanopores of Ni(DPA)2 in the form of a single molecule, polarization strength tunable regulation is realized after ultraviolet irradiation of 365 and 405 nm via cis-trans isomerism transformation of AZB. An intrinsic built-in field originating from the distorted {NiN2O4} octahedra in Ni(DPA)2 directs the dipole moments of AZB to the applied electric field. As a result, the overlapped ferroelectric polarization strength changes with content of cis-AZB after ultraviolet and visible irradiation. Such a connection of ferroelectric Ni(DPA)2 structure with cis-trans isomers provides an important strategy for regulating the ferroelectric polarization strength.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been a research hotspot for the last two decades, witnessing an extraordinary upsurge across various domains in materials chemistry. Ionic MOFs (both anionic and cationic MOFs) have emerged as next-generation ionic functional materials and are an important subclass of MOFs owing to their ability to generate strong electrostatic interactions between their charged framework and guest molecules. Furthermore, the presence of extra-framework counter-ions in their confined nanospaces can serve as additional functionality in these materials, which endows them a significant advantage in specific host-guest interactions and ion-exchange-based applications. In the present review, we summarize the progress and future prospects of iMOFs both in terms of fundamental developments and potential applications. Furthermore, the design principles of ionic MOFs and their state-of-the-art ion exchange performances are discussed in detail and the future perspectives of these promising ionic materials are proposed.
