The X-site ion in organic-inorganic hybrid ABX₃ perovskites (OHPs) varies from halide ion to bridging linkers like HCOO⁻ , N₃ ⁻ , NO₂ ⁻ , and CN⁻ . However, no nitrite-based OHP ferroelectrics have been reported so far. Now, based on non-ferroelectric [(CH₃ )₄ N][Ni(NO₂ )₃ ], through the combined methodologies of quasi-spherical shape, hydrogen bonding functionality, and H/F substitution, we have successfully synthesized an OHP ferroelectric, [FMeTP][Ni(NO₂ )₃ ] (FMeTP=N-fluoromethyl tropine). As an unprecedented nitrite-based OHP ferroelectric, the well-designed [FMeTP][Ni(NO₂ )₃ ] undergoes the ferroelectric phase transition at 400 K with an Aizu notation of 6/mmmFm, showing multiaxial ferroelectric characteristics. This work is a great step towards not only enriching the molecular ferroelectric families but also accelerating the potential practical applications.
