This study investigates lead-free organic-inorganic hybrids (CNH)[BiCl] () and (CNH)[BiBr] (), focusing on their structural, dielectric, ferroelectric, and optical properties. Both compounds exhibit paraelectric () to ferroelectric () phase transitions (PTs) at 230/233 K and 228/229 K, respectively, transitioning from orthorhombic () to monoclinic (2) phases, with distorted [BiX] octahedra forming 1D chains. Quasielastic neutron scattering and solid-state H NMR studies reveal the localized motion of azetidinium cations.

We have synthesized and characterized two novel lead-free organic-inorganic hybrid crystals: (S(CH))[BiI] (TBI) and (S(CH))[SbI] (TSI). Thermal DSC, TG, and DTA analyses indicate structural phase transitions (PTs) in both compounds; TBI undergoes two structural phase transitions at 314.2/314.

The preparation of materials featuring more than one ferroelectric phase represents a promising strategy for controlling electrical properties arising from spontaneous polarization, since it offers an added advantage of temperature-dependent toggling between two different ferroelectric states. Here, we report on the discovery of a unique ferroelectric-ferroelectric transition in diisopropylammonium tetrabromocadmate (, (CHN)[CdBr]) with a value of 244 K, which is continuous in nature. Both phases crystallize in the same polar orthorhombic space group, 2.

A description of the thermal, structural, 1H NMR, electric and optical properties of four organic-inorganic hybrids, haloantimonates(iii) and halobismuthates(iii), based on homopiperidinium cation: (C6H14N)2SbCl5 (abbrev. HSC), (C6H14N)2SbBr5 (HSB), (C6H14N)2BiCl6[H3O] (HBC), (C6H14N)2BiBr5 (HBB), is presented. The common feature of the crystal structures of the studied compounds is the 1D (one-dimensional) chain for the anionic network in HSC, HSB and HBB, 1D hydrogen bond chain between 0D (zero-dimensional, isolated) BiCl6 octahedrons and hydronium moieties in HBC as well as a rich polymorphism in the solid state for all title compounds.

The 1:1 hexamethylbenzene (HMB)-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) complex shows a first-order phase transition at 230/218 K (heating/cooling) with no change of the space group. The neutron-diffraction studies reveal that this transition is related to a freezing of the rotation of methyl groups. The results for 100 K enabled precise determination of configuration of HMB.
