Hydrogen-bonded donor–acceptor compounds for organic ferroelectric materials
Literature Information
Sachio Horiuchi, Reiji Kumai
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 ferroelectric transition. The conventional approach to ferroelectrics, in general, relies on the use of asymmetric dipolar molecules and/or substituents. Recently, distinct design strategies have been developed using the molecular compounds of binary- or multi-components, combined with “non-covalent” forces: charge-transfer interactions and/or hydrogen bonding. This article focuses on the supramolecular systems of hydrogen-bonded acid and base molecules. Ferroelectricity and a significant dielectric response, as well as an antiferroelectric ordering induced by proton transfer, are demonstrated in the hydrogen-bonded chains composed of 2,5-dihydroxy-p-benzoquinone derivatives and nitrogen-containing aromatic bases.
