Magnetic–dielectric bistabilities and magnetodielectric coupling effects in a new layered hybrid perovskite: (C6H5(CH2)4NH3)2[MnCl4]

A new organic–inorganic layered perovskite, (C 6 H 5 (CH 2 ) 4 NH 3 ) 2 [MnCl 4 ], undergoes three reversible structural phase transitions accompanying with magnetic–dielectric dual-bistabilities, and exhibits an intrinsic magnetodielectric effect during the spin-flop transition.
