Manipulating electron redistribution to achieve electronic pyroelectricity in molecular [FeCo] crystals

Pyroelectric materials exhibiting large and nearly constant pyroelectric coefficients over a wide temperature range are highly desirable. Here, the authors develop molecular [FeCo] crystals with continuous pyroelectricity, originating from a transition between three distinct electronic structures.
