A new Bi(III)‐based hybrid organic‐inorganic compound, (R)‐3‐(fluoropyrrolidinium)2BiBr5 (1), has been synthesized by solution evaporation. It undergoes a drastic reversible phase transition that appears above the room temperature centered at 407 K, exhibiting a recognizable second‐order nonlinear optical response and noteworthy dielectric anomaly. Variable‐temperature single‐crystal structural analyses exhibit its structure consists of one‐dimensional zigzag chains of [BiBr5]∞ containing cis‐connected anionic octahedra and (R)‐3‐(Fluoropyrrolidinium) cations. We speculate, the existence of phase transition properties of 1 triggered by thermal stimulus probably originates from the deformation of anions and order‐disorder transition of the cations in the crystal lattice. All of those findings will provide a new way to design and fabricate of hybrid organic‐inorganic multifunctional stimuli‐responsive materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
