Highest-Tc organic enantiomeric ferroelectrics obtained by F/H substitution

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Jun 25;56(51):7033-7036. doi: 10.1039/d0cc02547j.

Abstract

Through the strategy of F/H substitution, we precisely designed the highest-Tc (phase transition temperature) organic enantiomeric ferroelectrics, (R)- and (S)-(N,N-dimethyl-3-fluoropyrrolidinium) iodide, of which the Tc reaches up to 470 K, far beyond those of other enantiomeric ferroelectrics and also the commercial ferroelectric BaTiO3.
