This research demonstrates ferroelastic phase transition in hybrid antiperovskite, suggesting new material designs.
Comprehensive Summary Hybrid antiperovskites have attracted tremendous research interest with unique assembly architecture, holding great promise in ferroelectricity, nonlinear optics, optoelectronic detection, etc . However, constructing hybrid antiperovskite has always been a great challenge, and the ferroelasticity within this family remains unexplored. Here, we report the first case of hybrid antiperovskite ferroelastic, (C 3 H 8 ON) 3 (SnCl 6 )Cl, designed via molecular modification. Through hydrogen‐bond engineering by substituting (C 3 H 6 ON) + cations with (C 3 H 8 ON) + , the stacking arrangement of components in lattice was reconfigured to transform a zero‐dimensional precursor of (C 3 H 6 ON) 2 SnCl 6 into a three‐dimensional hybrid antiperovskite architecture. This structural reorganization successfully induces a ferroelastic phase transition with an Aizu notation of 2 m F222. This work not only enriches the hybrid antiperovskite family, but also sheds new light for designing ferroic materials.
