title: The first ionothermal synthesis of a 3D ferroelectric metal-organic framework with colossal dielectric constant.
abstract: A novel 3D (4,6)-connected topological architecture, obtained under ionothermal conditions by using 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium bromide ([EMI]Br) as solvent and structure-directing agent, presents a non-centrosymmetric polar packing arrangement showing an interesting ferroelectric property.
