Chemical design of homochiral heterocyclic organic ferroelectric crystals

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Sep 15;58(74):10361-10364. doi: 10.1039/d2cc03881a.

Abstract

Single component organic ferroelectrics of spirooxazacamphorsultam derivatives, 1-SSR and 1-RRS, exhibit well-defined ferroelectricity (Ps = 2.2 μC cm-2) and piezoelectricity (d33 = 10 pC N-1) below their melting point. More importantly, they possess a low acoustic impedance value of 2.7 × 106 kg s-1 m-2, which is well-matched with body tissues.
