Metal regulated organic–inorganic hybrid ferroelastic materials: [(CH3)3CN(CH3)2CH2F]2[MBr4] (M = Cd and Zn)

Two organic–inorganic hybrid compounds [(CH 3 ) 3 CN(CH 3 ) 2 CH 2 F] 2 [MBr 4 ] (M = Cd and Zn) undergo ferroelastic phase transitions. The substitution of metal center Cd with Zn of inorganic anions regulate the ferroelastic phase transitions.
