Homochiral Trinuclear Nickel (II) Complex with a Spin Fluctuation

[Ni3O (TBPLA) (H2O)] (ClO4)4 (H2O)6 [TBPLA=(S)-1,1'1”-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triyl)-tris (methylene)-tris-(pyrrolidine-2-carboxylate)] was found to possibly display multiferroic property (the coexistence of ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism). The magnetic property of this compound was studied and no magnetic hysteresis loop was found probably due to an intrinsic fluctuation for the magnetic exchange energy.
