Pyrrolidinium-Based Cyanides: Unusual Architecture and Dielectric Switchability Triggered by Order–Disorder Process

Abstract

. On the basis of Raman scattering and IR spectroscopy it has been assumed that the phase transition in both crystals is triggered by thermally induced pseudorotation of the organic cation and large out-of-plane motions of its atoms followed by a "click-in" of the cyanide bridges. The materials have been proposed as possible switchable dielectrics due to their respective high differences in dielectric permittivities across the phase transition.
