title: Solvent-induced single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation in multifunctional chiral dysprosium(III) compounds.
abstract: Two new enantiomeric ionic chiral dysprosium(III) compounds were designed and synthesized. These compounds show simultaneously the optical activity, ferroelectric effects, nonlinear-optical effects, and slow magnetic relaxation behavior. More interestingly, these compounds exhibit reversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations associated with the release or absorption of solvent molecules. The structure transformations are accompanied by distinct changes in the physical properties.
