Abstract

The well-developed design strategy of molecular modification for assembling molecular ferroelectrics mainly focuses on the cations. Herein, by homochiral anionic modification of the non-ferroelectric (quinuclidinium)(HSO4), we designed high-temperature multiaxial organic enantiomeric ferroelectrics, (quinuclidinium)(l- and d-camphorsulfonate). This work paves a new road for precisely constructing excellent molecular ferroelectrics.
