Multifunctional DyIII4 Cluster Exhibiting White-Emitting, Ferroelectric and Single-Molecule Magnet Behavior.

Multifunctional material: A remarkable case of a single‐molecule magnet that demonstrates white‐light emission and ferroelectricity was observed in a butterfly‐shaped chiral DyIII4 cluster, [Dy4(μ‐bpt)4(μ3‐OH)2(μ‐OMe)2(NO3)4]⋅3 MeOH (bpt=3,5‐bis(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1,2,4‐trizolate, see figure).
