Abstract
Halide ferroelectric materials have garnered a lot of interest because of their distinctive electrical and structural characteristics. In this study, the design and development of a new non-centrosymmetric 2D layered halide double perovskite material, Cl1.14Br2.86PA4AgInBr8 (CPAIn) is reported. This material shows ferroelectric properties above room temperature, with a Curie temperature of 190 °C. This behavior is achieved through the substitution of the halogenated A-site organic linker, 3-chloropropylammonium. CPAIn exhibits anisotropic ferroelectric behavior with higher spontaneous polarization of 6.25 µC cm-2 along the perpendicular direction to the octahedral layers, whereas the value decreases to 0.174 µC cm-2 between sheets. While using bottom contact to study the nature of polarity within a sheet, the P-E loop displays capacitive loop. The nature and value of polarization is highly direction dependent, and to further understand the mechanism of conduction, a combination of temperature-dependent impedance studies and poling dependent conductivity techniques are employed. These directional dependent properties hold immense potential in memory devices, sensors and photovoltaics, piezoelectric devices and energy storage.

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
Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides have unique optical and electronic properties, which are advantageous in the study of nonlinear optical materials. To investigate the effect of stereoactive lone pair electrons and the induction of organic cations on the structure of hybrid antimony(III) halides on nonlinear optics, we synthesize two noncentrosymmetric hybrid antimony(III)-based halide single crystals (TMA)3Sb2X9 (TMA = NH(CH3)3+, X = Cl, Br) by a room-temperature slow evaporation method, and their single-crystal structures, phase transition, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy-band structure calculations are studied. More importantly, second-harmonic generation results of (TMA)3Sb2X9 (X = Cl, Br) are about 0.7 and 0.8 × KH2PO4(KDP), respectively. Interestingly, (TMA)3Sb2Cl9 single crystals undergo a reversible structural transition from Pc (No. 7) at room temperature to P21/c (No. 14) at 400 K, while the (TMA)3Sb2Br9 single crystals belong to the noncentrosymmetric space group R3c (No. 161), which clarifies the previous results. This work not only deepens the understanding of the role in lone pair electrons and organic cations in the structural induction in antimony-based halide perovskite materials but also provides guidance for subsequent nonlinear optical explorations.

Abstract
Polarization photodetection taking advantage of the anisotropy of 2D materials shines brilliantly in optoelectronic fields owing to differentiating optical information. However, the previously reported polarization detections are mostly dependent on external power sources, which is not conducive to device integration and energy conservation. Herein, a 2D polar perovskite (CBA)2CsPb2Br7 (CCPB, CBA = 4-chlorobenzyllamine) has been successfully synthesized, which shows anticipated bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) with an open-circuited photovoltage up to ≈0.2 V. Devices based on CCPB monomorph fulfill a fascinating self-powered polarized photodetection with a large polarization ratio of 2.7 at room temperature. Moreover, CCPB features a high phase-transition temperature (≈475 K) which prompts such self-powered polarized photodetection in a large temperature window of device operation, since BPVE generated by spontaneous polarization can only exist in the polar structure prior to the phase transition. Further computational investigation reveals the introduction of CBA+ with a large dipole moment contributes to quite large polarization (17.5 µC cm-2) and further super high phase transition temperature of CCPB. This study will promote the application of 2D perovskite materials for self-powered polarized photodetection in high-temperature conditions.

Abstract
Ferroelectric materials, whose electrical polarization can be switched under external stimuli, have been widely used in sensors, data storage, and energy conversion. Molecular orbital breaking can result in switchable structural and physical bistability in ferroelectric materials as traditional spatial symmetry breaking does. Differently, molecular orbital breaking interprets the phase transition mechanism from the perspective of electronics and sheds new light on manipulating the physical properties of ferroelectrics. Here, we synthesize a pair of organosilicon Schiff base ferroelectric crystals, (R)- and (S)-N-(3,5-di-tert-butylbenzylidene)-1-((triphenylsilyl)oxy)ethanamine, which show optically controlled phase transition accompanying the molecular orbital breaking. The molecular orbital breaking is manifested as the breaking and reformation of covalent bonds during the phase transition process, that is, the conversion between C = N and C-O in the enol form and C-N and C = O in the keto form. This process brings about photo-mediated bistability with multiple physical channels such as dielectric, second-harmonic generation, and ferroelectric polarization. This work further explores this newly developed mechanism of ferroelectric phase transition and highlights the significance of photo-mediated ferroelectric materials for photo-controlled smart devices and bio-sensors.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) afford highly versatile structure design and lattice dimensionalities; thus, they are actively researched as material platforms for the tailoring of ferroic behaviors. Unlike single-phase organic or inorganic materials, the interlayer coupling between organic and inorganic components in HOIPs allows the modification of strain and symmetry by chirality transfer or lattice distortion, thereby enabling the coexistence of ferroic orders. This review focuses on the principles for engineering one or multiple ferroic orders in HOIPs, and the conditions for achieving multiferroicity and magnetoelectric properties. The prospects of multilevel ferroic modulation, chiral spin textures, and spin orbitronics in HOIPs are also presented.

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
Tuning phase transition temperature is one of the central issues in phase transition materials. Herein, we report a case study of using enantiomer fraction engineering as a promising strategy to tune the Curie temperature (TC) and related properties of ferroelectrics. A series of metal-halide perovskite ferroelectrics (S-3AMP)x(R-3AMP)1-xPbBr4 was synthesized where 3AMP is the 3-(aminomethyl)piperidine divalent cation and enantiomer fraction x varies between 0 and 1 (0 and 1 = enantiomers; 0.5 = racemate). With the change of the enantiomer fraction, the TC, second-harmonic generation intensity, degree of circular polarization of photoluminescence, and photoluminescence intensity of the materials have been tuned. Particularly, when x = 0.70 - 1, a continuously linear tuning of the TC is achieved, showing a tunable temperature range of about 73 K. This strategy provides an effective means and insights for regulating the phase transition temperature and chiroptical properties of functional materials.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic halide hybrids have been extensively developed and used in optoelectronic devices because of their superior performance such as ease of assembly, flexible structural tunability, and excellent optoelectronic properties. Ferroelastic strain might be used to modulate and control photoelectric properties such as photovoltaic voltage, while organic-inorganic hybrid ferroelastic semiconductors remain relatively unexplored. Herein, we successfully design a new Sn-base, lead-free hybrid ferroelastic semiconductor, [TPMA]2[SnCl6] (TPMA = benzyl trimethylammonium). It undergoes a high-temperature -3mF-1-type ferroelastic phase transition at 408 K, and intriguingly, its ferroelastic domains can be simultaneously switched under the stimulation of external heat and stress. The ferroelastic phase transition might be derived from the order-disorder transition of organic cations during heating and cooling. Moreover, [TPMA]2[SnCl6] also demonstrates a high-temperature dielectric switching property around 408 K, which has good stability and reproducibility. With those benefits, [TPMA]2[SnCl6] shows great potential in applications such as energy storage devices, optoelectronic devices, shape memory, intelligent switches, and so on.

Abstract
The light-induced pyroelectric effect (LPE) has shown a great promise in the application of optoelectronic devices, especially for self-powered detection and imaging. However, it is quite challenging and scarce to achieve LPE in the X-ray region. For the first time, we report X-ray LPE in a single-phase ferroelectric of (NPA)2(EA)2Pb3Br10 (1, NPA = neopentylamine, EA = ethylamine), adopting a two-dimensional trilayered perovskite motif, which has a large spontaneous polarization of ∼3.7 μC/cm2. Its ferroelectricity allows for significant LPE in the wavelength range of ordinary visible light. Strikingly, the X-ray LPE is observed in 1, which endows remarkable self-powered X-ray responses at 0 bias, including sensitivity up to 225 μC Gy-1 cm-2 and a low detection limit of ∼83.4 nGy s-1, being almost 66 times lower than the requirement for medical diagnostics (∼5.5 μGy s-1). This work not only develops a new mode for X-ray detection but also provides valuable insights for future photoelectric device application.

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
Metal-organic frameworks are of great interest to scientists from various fields. This group also includes organic-inorganic hybrids with a perovskite structure. Recently their structural, phonon, and luminescent properties have been paid much attention. However, a new way of characterization of these materials has become luminescence thermometry. Herein, we report the structure, luminescence, and temperature detection ability of formate organic-inorganic perovskite [C(NH2)3]M(HCOO)3 (Mg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+) doped with Cr3+ ions. Crystal field strength (Dq/B) and Racah parameters were determined based on diffuse reflectance spectra. It was shown that Cr3+ ions are positioned in the intermediate crystal field or close to it with a Dq/B range of 2.29-2.41. The co-existence of the spin-forbidden and spin-allowed transitions of Cr3+ ions enable the proposal of an approach for remote readout of the temperature. The relative sensitivity (Sr) can be easily modified by sample composition and Cr3+ ions concentration. The luminescent thermometer based on the 2E/4T2g transitions has the relative sensitivity Sr of 2.08%K-1 at 90 K for [C(NH2)3]Mg(HCOO)3: 1% Cr3+ and decrease to 1.20%K-1 at 100 K and 1.08%K-1 at 90 K for Mn2+ and Zn2+ analogs, respectively.

Abstract
Molecular ferroelectrics that have excellent ferroelectric properties, a low processing temperature, narrow bandgap, and which are lightweight, have shown great potential in the photovoltaic field. However, two-dimensional (2D) perovskite solar cells with high tunability, excellent photo-physical properties and superior long-term stability are limited by poor out-of-plane conductivity from intrinsic multi-quantum-well electronic structures. This work uses 2D molecular ferroelectric film as the absorbing layer to break the limit of multiple quantum wells. Our 2D ferroelectric solar cells achieve the highest open-circuit voltage (1.29 V) and the best efficiency (3.71%) among the 2D (n = 1) Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite solar cells due to the enhanced out-of-plane charge transport induced by molecular ferroelectrics with a strong saturation polarization, high Curie temperature and multiaxial characteristics. This work aims to break the inefficient out-of-plane charge transport caused by the limit of the multi-quantum-well electronic structure and improve the efficiency of 2D ferroelectric solar cells.

Abstract
Ferroelectricity in two-dimensional hybrid (2D) organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) can be engineered by tuning the chemical composition of the organic or inorganic components to lower the structural symmetry and order-disorder phase change. Less efforts are made toward understanding how the direction of the polar axis is affected by the chemical structure, which directly impacts the anisotropic charge order and nonlinear optical response. To date, the reported ferroelectric 2D Dion-Jacobson (DJ) [PbI4]2- perovskites exhibit exclusively out-of-plane polarization. Here, we discover that the polar axis in ferroelectric 2D Dion-Jacobson (DJ) perovskites can be tuned from the out-of-plane (OOP) to the in-plane (IP) direction by substituting the iodide with bromide in the lead halide layer. The spatial symmetry of the nonlinear optical response in bromide and iodide DJ perovskites was probed by polarized second harmonic generation (SHG). Density functional theory calculations revealed that the switching of the polar axis, synonymous with the change in the orientation of the sum of the dipole moments (DMs) of organic cations, is caused by the conformation change of organic cations induced by halide substitution.

Abstract
Organic photochromic compounds have been widely investigated for optical memory storage and switches. Very recently, we pioneeringly discovered optical control of ferroelectric polarization switching in organic photochromic salicylaldehyde Schiff base and diarylethene derivatives, differently from the traditional ferroelectrics. However, the study of such intriguing photo-triggered ferroelectrics is still in its infancy and relatively scarce. In this manuscript, we synthesized a pair of new organic single-component fulgide isomers, (E and Z)-3-(1-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)ethylidene)-4-(propan-2-ylidene)dihydrofuran-2,5-dione (1E and 1Z). They undergo prominent photochromism from yellow to red. Interestingly, only polar 1E has been proven to be ferroelectric, while the centrosymmetric 1Z does not meet the basic requirement for ferroelectricity. Besides, experimental evidence shows that the Z-form can be converted to the E-form by light irradiation. More importantly, the ferroelectric domains of 1E can be manipulated by light in the absence of an electric field, benefiting from the remarkable photoisomerization. 1E also adopts good fatigue resistance to the photocyclization reaction. As far as we know, this is the first example of organic fulgide ferroelectric reported with photo-triggered ferroelectric polarization response. This work has developed a new system for studying photo-triggered ferroelectrics and would also provide an expected perspective on developing ferroelectrics for optical applications in trap future.

Abstract
Ferroelectric ceramics such as PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) are widely applied in many fields, from medical to aerospace, because of their dielectric, piezoelectric, and pyroelectric properties. In the past few years, hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites have gradually attracted attention for their optical and electronic properties, including ferroelectricity, and for their low fabrication costs. In this Review, we first describe techniques that are used to quantify ferroelectric figures of merit of a material. We then discuss ferroelectricity in hybrid perovskites, starting from controversies in methylammonium iodoplumbate perovskites and then focusing on low-dimensional perovskites that offer an unambiguous platform to obtain ferroelectricity. Finally, we provide examples of the application of perovskite ferroelectrics in solar cells, LEDs, and X-ray detectors. We conclude that the vast structure-property tunability makes low-dimensional hybrid perovskites promising, but they have yet to offer ferroelectric figures of merit (e.g., saturated polarization) and thermal stability (e.g., Curie temperature) competitive with those of conventional oxide perovskite ferroelectric materials.

Abstract
Controlling molecular chirality by external stimuli is of great significance in both fundamental research and technological applications. Herein, we report a high-temperature (384 K) molecular ferroelectric of a Cu(II) complex whose spontaneous polarization can be switched associated with flipping of molecular chirality. In this two-dimensional perovskite structure, the inorganic layer is separated by (NH3(CH2)2SS(CH2)2NH3)2+ organic cations skewed in a chiral conformation (P- or M-helicity in an individual crystal). As the stereodynamic disulfide bridge determines the molecular dipole moment along the polar axis, the chiral organic cation can be converted to its enantiomer as a consequence of an electric field-induced shift of the S-S moiety relative to its screw axis during the ferroelectric switching. The variation of the molecular chirality is examined with single-crystal X-ray diffraction and circular dichroism spectra. The simultaneous switching of molecular chirality and spontaneous polarization in this perovskite ferroelectric may lead to novel chiral electronic phenomena.

Abstract
Compared with uniaxial molecular ferroelectrics, multiaxial ferroelectrics have better application prospects because they are no longer subject to the single-crystal form and have been pursued in recent years. Halogen engineering refers to the adjustment of halogens in materials at the atomic level, which can not only explore multiaxial ferroelectrics but also help to improve piezoelectrics, recently. In this work, we successfully synthesized and characterized three multiaxial plastic ferroelectrics through the precise molecular design from I to Cl, confirming the increase of the number of polar axes of ferroelectrics from 3 to 6, the increase of second-harmonic generation density from 2.1 times to nearly 6 times of monopotassium phosphate, and the increase of piezoelectric coefficient by 140%. This systematic work has proved that halogen engineering can not only enrich the family of multiaxial plastic ferroelectrics but also promote the further development of nonlinear optical and piezoelectric materials.

Herein, we report the structural and luminescence studies of a series of six heterometallic perovskite-type metal-organic frameworks with the general formula [EA]2NaCrxAl1-x(HCOO)6, where x = 1, 0.78, 0.57, 0.30, 0.21, and 0. The diffuse reflectance spectral analysis provided valuable information, particularly on crystal field strength (Dq/B) and energy band gap (Eg). We showed that the Dq/B varies in the 2.33-2.76 range depending on the composition of the sample. Performed Raman, XRD, and lifetime decay analyses provided information on the relationship between those parameters and the chemical composition. We also performed the temperature-dependent luminescence studies within the 80-400 K range, which was the first attempt to use an organic-inorganic framework luminescence thermometer based solely on the luminescence of Cr3+ ions. The results showed a strong correlation between the surrounding temperature, composition, and spectroscopic properties, allowing one to design a temperature sensing model. The temperature-dependent luminescence of the Cr3+ ions makes the investigated materials promising candidates for noncontact thermometers.

Abstract
The remarkable material stability and structural diversity of two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) constitute a vast available library of versatile materials. In particular, ferroelastic property, for which the spontaneous strain can be transformed by applying mechanical stress, is very promising for extensive nanotechnological applications. However, integrating ferroelastic property into 2D OIHPs is still in its infancy. Herein, we designed two new 2D OIHPs (C3 H5 CH2 NH3 )2 [MCl4 ] (M=Mn for 1 and Cd for 2), which undergo reversible ferroelastic phase transitions with an Aizu expression 4/mmmFmmm. The templating influence of the more distorted inorganic framework on the disordering of organic cations and the stronger hydrogen bonds has a key role in the striking improvement of Curie temperature from 246 K in 1 to 273 K in 2. Meanwhile, the minimized alteration of structural motif ensures the well maintaining of the ferroelastic performance in the forms of crystals and thin films, as demonstrated by the identifiable evolution of domain structures. This work will provide a fertile new ground for enlarging the limited number of 2D ferroelastic OIHPs with better practical utility.

Abstract
Molecular ferroelectrics have gradually aroused great interest in both fundamental scientific research and technological applications because of their easy processing, light weight and mechanical flexibility. Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite ferroelectrics (HOIPFs), as a class of molecule-based ferroelectrics, have diverse functionalities owing to their unique structure and have become a hot spot in molecular ferroelectrics research. Therefore, they are extremely attractive in the field of ferroelectrics. However, there seems to be a lack of systematic review of their design, performance and potential applications. Herein, we review the recent development of HOIPFs from lead-based, lead-free and metal-free perovskites, and outline the versatility of these ferroelectrics, including piezoelectricity for mechanical energy-harvesting and optoelectronic properties for photovoltaics and light detection. Furthermore, a perspective view of the challenges and future directions of HOIPFs is also highlighted.

Abstract
We report the first example of a perovskite sulfate [Na3(H2O)]Fe(SO4)3. Further structure modulation, by dimensional reduction or ligand extension, has resulted in two related layered perovskite-like compounds Na6Fe(SO4)4 and Na12Fe3(SO4)6F8. Taken together, these results open up a more general strategy for the future design of more complex perovskite-related materials.

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-inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskites possessing unique two-dimensional (2D)-layered structures have been demonstrated with excellent molecular tunability and stability, especially the promising semiconductor properties for solar cell applications. In this work, three 2D lead halide organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (IAA)2PbX4 (IAA = isoamylammonium cation and X = Cl, Br, and I) were synthesized by employing a solution processing method and demonstrate distinct tuning solid-state phase transitions coupled with dielectric responses, as well as light absorption properties. Among the title perovskites, the phase transition temperature decreases gradually, and their band gap also indicates a narrowing trend. The results are mainly derived from slight changes in the crystal structure by halogen regulation. These findings might provide an effective crystal engineering strategy for exploring high-performance functional perovskite materials.

Abstract
We present three new hybrid copper(II) chloride layered perovskites of generic composition ACuCl4 or A2CuCl4, which exhibit three distinct structure types. (m-PdH2)CuCl4 (m-PdH22+ = protonated m-phenylenediamine) adopts a Dion-Jacobson (DJ)-like layered perovskite structure type and exhibits a very large axial thermal contraction effect upon heating, as revealed via variable-temperature synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXRD). This can be attributed to the contraction of an interlayer block, via a slight repositioning of the m-PdH22+ moiety. (3-AbaH)2CuCl4 (3-AbaH+ = protonated 3-aminobenzoic acid) and (4-AbaH)2CuCl4 (4-AbaH+ = protonated 4-aminobenzoic acid) possess the same generic formula as Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) layered perovskites, A2BX4, but adopt different structures. (4-AbaH)2CuCl4 adopts a near-staggered structure type, whereas (3-AbaH)2CuCl4 adopts a near-eclipsed structure type, which resembles the DJ rather than the RP family. (3-AbaH)2CuCl4 also displays static disorder of the [CuCl4]∞ layers. The crystal structures of each are discussed in terms of the differing nature of the templating molecular species, and these are compared to related layered perovskites. Preliminary magnetic measurements are reported, suggesting dominant ferromagnetic interactions.

Abstract
In recent years, great technological advances have been achieved in the growth of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) and these have attracted extensive attention due to their optoelectronic properties, structural tunability and stability. We present here a new two-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite, namely, poly[bis(3-fluorocyclobutylammonium) [di-μ-iodido-diiodidoplumbate(VI)]], {(C4H9FN)2[PbI4]}n, showing a two-dimensional reticular layer with the organic cations in the middle of the meshes. The calculated experimental band gap is 2.44 eV and the band gap is calculated as 2.20 eV theoretically, which further suggests the potential of this compound as a semiconductor.

Abstract
Phase transitions of hybrid materials have aroused widespread concern and call for an in-depth study on its structure design, because the structure and characteristics are closely related, which promote potential applications in the field of temperature sensors, dielectric switches, and actuators. However, designing materials with multiple phase transitions and a high phase transition temperature (Tr) remains a huge challenge. In order to deal with this key hurdle, we tried to regulate the structural components and successfully synthesized [MASD]2[CdCl4] (1, MASD = 8-methyl-5-azoniaspiro[4,5]decane), which displays multiple phase transitions occurring at 273.8 K and 395.9 K separately. The Tr has significantly increased compared with the parent compounds reported previously. As the temperature sensitivity of compound 1 is constant at different frequencies, it can be applied for detectors or sensors under frequency-independent or wide frequency conditions. Moreover, methylation design strategy evidently triggered the dual dielectric switch and improved the Tr, which opens a new path for finding and adjusting ideal materials of multiple phase transition.
