Abstract
Ferroelectric materials are of importance and interest in both fundamental scientific research and various technological applications. Metal-organic complexes (MOCs) represent a class of molecule-based ferroelectrics, which have shown various properties or functionalities due to their hybrid inorganic-organic nature. This tutorial review shows the recent development of the MOC ferroelectrics with particular emphases on the mechanism of ferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transition, symmetry consideration, and multifunctionality.Entities:
