A hybrid double perovskite ferroelastic exhibiting the highest number of orientation states

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Sep 19;59(75):11264-11267. doi: 10.1039/d3cc02645k.

Abstract

Integrating NH4+ as a B'-site ion within a three-dimensional double hybrid perovskite resulted in a novel high-temperature ferroelastic, (Me3NOH)2(NH4)[Co(CN)6], which uniquely demonstrates a reversible triclinic-to-cubic phase transition at 369 K and offers a record-setting 24 orientation states, the highest ever reported among all ferroelastics.
