Abstract

Ferroelectric metal–organic frameworks are emerging as an exciting field of research and have witnessed great progress in the last decade. In this contribution, we briefly discuss ferroelectricity and its means of demonstration. Three mechanisms that lead to ferroelectricity are identified and critically discussed. On the basis of the shortcomings present in the literature, we present a protocol for the study of ferroelectricity in MOF compounds.
