Density functional theory study of single-molecule ferroelectricity in Preyssler-type polyoxometalates

A detailed study on the single-molecule ferroelectric property of Preyssler-type polyoxometalates (POMs), [M3+P5W30O110]12− (M = La, Gd, and Lu), is performed by density functional theory calculations. Linked to one H2O molecule, the cation (M3+) encapsulated in the cavity of the Preyssler framework...
