Metal-organic coordination (MOC)-type ferroelectrics, cobalt(II) (R)-2-methylpiperazine (MPPA) trichloride [Co(II)Cl(3)(H-MPPA)], was constructed through hydrogen bonds. It is a good ferroelectric candidate with a P(s) = 6.8 microC.cm(-2) as high as almost twice that of triglycine sulfate (P(s) = 3.5 microC.cm(-2)) and significantly larger than that of KH(2)PO(4) at the low-temperature ferroelectric phase Fdd2. [Co(II)Cl(3)(H-MPPA)] is the first example of ferroelectric MOC that can really reach the spontaneous polarization status and opens up a new avenue to explore novel MOC-based ferroelectrics.
