Ferroelectricity results from one of the most representative phase transitions in solids, and is
widely used for technical applications. However, observations of ferroelectricity in organic …

The thermally activated motional freedom of protons (H+), ions (M+), and molecules can be
controlled using supramolecular approaches. In single crystals, motional freedom is enabled …

Ferroelectrics based on proton tautomerism are promising in low-field and above-room-
temperature operations. Here seven organic ferroelectric crystals are examined to search for …

The development of organic ferroelectrics and antiferroelectrics with significantly improved
performances has recently increased. Their attractive features are environmentally benign …

Dynamic molecular processes, such as short-or long-range proton (H+) and ion (M+)
motions, and molecular rotations in electrical conducting and magnetic molecular …

The π-electronic functionalities of molecular donor (D)–acceptor (A) compounds have been
attracting subjects for the solid state science as well as for the prospective technological …

The crystal lattice energy of π-molecules is dominated by weak and anisotropic
intermolecular interactions ranging in energy from 1 to∼ 20 kJ mol− 1, which can be tuned …

Neutral–ionic (NI) phase transition is a reversible switching of organic charge-transfer
complexes between distinct valence states by external stimuli. This phase transformation in …

Organic ferroelectrics are multifunctional candidates for future organic electronic and optical
devices. In spite of their potential, only a few organic compounds are known to exhibit a …

Publisher Summary Proton tautomerism occurs readily in solution because there are no
restrictions in fluid media on the conformational changes required for the tautomerization to …
