Abstract
In the realm of molecular phase transition research,particularly for applications in sensors,data storage and switching technologies,the role of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials has been increasingly recog-nized for their significant potential.Nevertheless,hybrid post-perovskites,as a critical subclass of perovskites,have not been thoroughly studied and mainly limit in the instances based on polyatomic bridging agents like dicyanamide(dca-)and non-cyclic organic cations.Herein,a polar cyclic quaternary ammonium cation,N,N-dimethylpyrrolidinium(DMP+),was used to assemble a new hybrid post-perovskite,(DMP)[Mn(dca)3](1),which undergoes a phase transition from orthorhombic Bmmb to monoclinic P21/n space group at 249 K.By employing multiple techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry,variable-temperature single-crystal X-ray analysis,dielectric measurements,and Hirshfeld surface analysis,we disclosed the role of polar cyclic quaternary ammonium DMP+in elevating the phase-transition temperature by 48 K,generating significant dielectric switching effect and facilitating interlayer sliding of inorganic framework.
