The invention relates to a multiferroic compound and a preparation method thereof. The multiferroic compound is characterized by adopting the molecular formula of [C6H5(C2H2)4NH3]2[CuCl4], adopting a layered
perovskite-like structure, and belonging to a tetragonal
system at 350 K, and monoclinic systems at 293 K and 120 K, wherein the
space group of the tetragonal
system at 350 K is P4 / mbm, and the
cell parameters a, b, c and V of the tetragonal
system at 350 K are 7.4531(4) angstrom, 7.4531(4) angstrom, 23.317(2) angstrom, and 1295.2(2) angstrom<3> respectively; the
space group of the monoclinic system at 293 K is P2(1) / a, and the
cell parameters a, b, c, beta and V of the monoclinic system at 293 K are 7.2620(5) angstrom, 7.4725(6) angstrom,23.282(2) angstrom, 91.999(2) degrees, and 1262.6(2) angstrom<3> respectively; the
space group of the monoclinic system at 120 K is P2(1), and the
cell parameters a, b, c, beta and V of the monoclinic system at 120 K are 27.663(1) angstrom, 7.4916(5) angstrom, 29.423(2) angstrom, 101.819(2) degrees, and 5968.3(6) angstrom<3> respectively. The multiferroic compound provided by the invention has three basic
ferric properties of ferroelasticity,
ferroelectricity and
ferromagnetism at the same time, and has the advantages that ferroelastic
phase transition occurs at a temperature higher than the
room temperature; magnetic bistable state occurs during ferroelectric
phase transition or ferroelastic
phase transition.
