Near-Room-Temperature Synergetic Response of Magnetism, Dielectricity and Luminescence Based on (C5 NH13 Cl)2 MnBr4.

Multifunctional materials with working temperatures near room temperature are crucial for practical applications. Until now, it is still a great challenge to obtain such materials. In this paper, a complex of (C5 NH13 Cl)2 MnBr4 (1) with a structural phase transition near room temperature is reported. The phase transition induces switchable magnetic properties, dielectric anomalies and luminescent response over the same range of temperatures. It is the first time the synergetic effect of magnetism, dielectricity and luminescence near room temperature have been observed in the same molecular complex.

Synthesis, dielectric, magnetic, and photoluminescence properties of two new hybrid rare-earth double perovskites.

Two new organic-inorganic hybrid double perovskites (R3HQ)4CsSm(NO3)8 (1) (R3HQ = (R)-(-)-3-quinuclidinol) and (R3HQ)4CsEu(NO3)8 (2) were synthesized and characterized. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit obvious phase transitions at 379 and 375 K, respectively, confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and variable temperature powder X-ray diffraction. The rapid switching between high- and low-dielectric states makes it a typical dielectric material with a switchable dielectric constant for thermal stimulus response. Furthermore, 1 and 2 show attractive photoluminescence and paramagnetic behavior, and the fluorescence quantum yield of 2 reached 14.6%. These results show that compounds 1 and 2 can be used as excellent candidates for multifunctional intelligent materials, which also provides a new way for development of multifunctional materials.
