"thin, efficient multiferroic 2D Cr-based metal-organic frameworks... exploiting d-p spin coupling in combination with center-symmetry-breaking 6-membered heterocyclic ligands... Cr(1,2-oxazine)2 exhibits ferroelectric properties, while Cr(1,2,4-triazine)2 and Cr(1,2,3,4-trazine)2 exhibit antiferroelectric properties.... room temperature barriers for polarization switching... information storage, sensing technologies, electronics, energy conversion"
