Pyroelectricity and field-induced spin-flop in (4-(Aminomethyl)pyridinium)2 MnCl4 · 2H2O

Large single crystals of (4-(Aminomethyl)pyridinium)2 MnCl4 · 2H2O (1) were grown by slow evaporation of solution. The crystal structure was solved to be Pī, which belongs to the central symmetric space group. But small pyroelectric current was detected, as well as a ferroelectric hysteresis loop. T...
