Abstract

Dielectric measurements (permittivity and hysteresis loop) of monocrystals of bis-thiourea pyridinium bromide inclusion compound have revealed for the first time ferroelectric properties of the studied samples. In the present article, a model of ferroelectric ordering on the basis of single-crystal x-ray diffraction data is described. In the low-temperature phase, the spontaneous polarization is directed along the a axis and ferroelectricity is of the mixed type (displacement and order-disorder component), whereas in the intermediate phase the spontaneous polarization is directed along the c axis and ferroelectricity is of the order-disorder type.
