Molecular ferroelectrics have attracted much attention because of their excellent piezoelectricity, mechanical workability, and second harmonic effect. Here, we successfully prepared two molecular ferroelectrics 1,5–3.2.2-HdabcniX (X = ClO4−, 1; ReO4−, 2) by reactions of a quasi-spherical amine 1,5-diazabicycle[3.2.2]nonane (1.5–3.2.2-dabcn) with HX aqueous solution. Compounds 1 and 2 undergo high-temperature phase transitions at 381 K (1) and 396 K (2). Before and after the phase transition, they crystallize in the polar point group mm2, and the centrosymmetric point groups mmm and 4/mmm, respectively. According to Aizu rules, these two compounds experience mmmFmm2 and 4/mmmFmm2 type ferroelectric phase transitions, respectively. The ferroelectricity of both compounds is well expressed in their polycrystalline film at room temperature with low coercive voltages of 13 V for 1 and 25 V for 2. Using piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM), the 180° anti-parallel ferroelectric domains and the reversible polarization switching can be clearly observed in 1 and 2. This high-temperature molecular ferroelectric material has great application potential in flexible materials, biomechanics, intelligent wearables and other fields.
