Inorganic−organic hybrid QMnCl (Q = quinuclidinium) crystals were synthesized and characterized. The X-ray and variable-temperature IR/Raman analysis demonstrate that the crystals undergo a reversible structural phase transition, which originates from an order−disorder process and is related to the dynamics of the organic Q cation. Dielectric function measurements disclose a switchability between low (“OFF”) and high (“ON”) dielectric states centered at around 285 K. Owing to a remarkable temperature-dependent dielectric function, this type of molecular compound can represent an interesting tunable and switchable dielectric material for a diverse range of applications.
