Multiferroics by Rational Design: Implementing Ferroelectricity in Molecule‐Based Magnets

Abstract

Multiferroic materials: A novel class of multiferroics based on organic–inorganic hybrid materials is synthesized. The ferromagnetic properties originate from the coordination network, whereas the ferroelectricity results from the polar organic ions (see picture, M=magnetization and P=polarization).
