The pressure-induced properties of hybrid organic-inorganic ferroelectrics (HOIFs) with tunable structures and selectable organic and inorganic components are important for device fabrication. However, given the structural complexity of polycrystalline HOIFs and the limited resolution of pressure data, resolving the structure-property puzzle has so far been the exception rather than the rule. With this in mind, we present a collection of in situ high-pressure data measured for triethylmethylammonium tetrabromoferrate(III), ([N(CH)CH][FeBr]) () by unraveling its flexible physical and photophysical behavior up to 80 GPa.

The transition from the high temperature= 0 Γ() to the low temperature Γ() type order of the Fe-sublattice is found at= 73 K and does not show any thermal hysteresis. Below= 4 K the Dy-sublattice orders in an incommensurate magnetic structure with= [0, 0, 0.

We report a study of magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in cyanido-bridged {[M(II)(pyrazole)(4)](2)[Nb(IV)(CN)(8)]·4H(2)O}(n) molecular compounds where M = Ni, Mn, pyrazole = C(3)H(4)N(2). The substances show a sharp phase transition to a long range magnetically ordered state, with ferromagnetic coupling between M and Nb sublattices in the case of the Ni-based sample 1 (T(c) = 13.4 K) and ferrimagnetic coupling for the Mn-based sample 2 (T(c) = 23.
