Abstract

High magnetic field-induced synthesis has been demonstrated to tune the structure and properties of the multiferroic metal-organic framework [(CH₃)₂NH₂][Mn(HCOO)₃]. The crystals obtained under 90 kOe exhibit a lower ferroelectric polarization value and reduced magnetic susceptibility, compared to crystals obtained without a field, which is attributed to structural changes induced by the high magnetic field.
