The often intriguing dielectric properties of the EDT-TTF-based charge-transfer salts have attracted considerable attention in recent years [1]. Examples are κ-(BEDT-TTF)₂Cu[N(CN)₂]Cl, which exhibits multiferroicity [2], as well as α-(BEDT-TTF)₂I₃, which shows the signature of relaxor-ferroelectric behavior [1].
Here, we will present an overview of the dielectric properties of the above systems and provide new results on κ-(BEDT-TTF)₂Hg(SCN)₂Cl, which also shows ferroelectric behavior in its charge-ordered state. In addition, further organic candidates for ferroelectricity as well as recent results on δ-(EDT-TTF-CONMe₂)₂Br are presented. The latter compound exhibits charge order but lacks dimerization. It displays interesting glasslike relaxation dynamics.
