Recently，multifunctionalmaterialsbased on lanthanide complexes have received much attention due to their potential applications in optoelectronics［1-3].The introduction of chiral environments in lanthanide complexes would lead to a diversification of configuration and crystallize in a polar space group.Thus，interesting properties，such as ferroelectricity，piezoelectricity，triboluminescence，circular polarized luminescence （CPL）and second harmonic generation（SHG）would be expected［4-7].

Ferroelectric materials possessing a spontaneous electric polarization that can be reversed by the application of an external electric field，are of great interest in the field of optics and electronics［8].Compared to the typicalinorganic ABO3-type ferroelectrics，molecular-based ferroelectric materials show some advantages:largerspontaneouspolarization，facile chemical vapor deposition （CVD）and convenient structural modification.Furthermore，owing to the high coordination numbers and the interaction between a central metal ion and its ligand field （LF），the structures of lanthanide complexes could be easily distorted and spontaneous dipole moments can be induced，possibly resulting in interesting multi-ferroic properties.

In previous studies，we have studied multifunctional properties （luminescence，ferroelectricity，magnetism and so on）of chiral lanthanide complexes incorporated pinene functionalized with aromatic amine derivativesaswellassolvent-induced or temperature-induced switching of configurations and properties of these complexes［9-12].A novel Eu(Ⅲ)complex Eu（TTA）3L1a（1a）（TTA=thenoyltrifluoroacetonate，L1a=（+）-4，5-bis（pinene）-2，2′-bipyridine）with a bispinene-containing bipyridyl ligand was used as high efficient luminescent down-shifting material and lead to a significant improvement of the spectral response of c-Si PV module in the UV region［13].

As an extension of these work，the crystal structure and ferroelectric property of 1a has been studied in this paper.The compound 1a crystallizes in anoncentrosymmetricspacegroup （P1），anda distorted square-antiprism configuration exists around the central Eu(Ⅲ) ion，satisfying the prerequisites of ferroelectrics.As expected，complex 1a shows a distinct electric hysteresis loop，making it as potential multifunctional molecular materials.The enantiomer Eu（TTA）3L1b（1b）（L1b=（-）-4，5-bis（pinene）-2，2′-bipyridine）was also prepared，and chiral environments are confirmed by a mirror symmetry of circular dichroism（CD）spectra of 1a and 1b.

1 Experimental

1.1 Chemicals and synthesis

All reagents were purchased from commercial suppliers and used as received.Compounds 1a and 1b were prepared according to our published methods as follows［13]:L1aor L1b（344 mg，1 mmol）was added to a stirred solution of Eu（TTA）3·2H2O （851 mg，1 mmol）in ethanol （40 mL）.The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h.The precipitate was collected by filtration to yield the desired product.Crystals of compound 1a suitable for X-ray crystallographic analysis were obtained by slow evaporation over a period of 3 weeks of their CH2Cl2/CH3CH2OH solution.

1.2 Chemical and physical characterizations

Single-crystalX-ray diffraction measurements were carried out on a Bruker SMART APEX CCD based on diffractometer operating at room temperature.Intensities were collected with graphite monochromatized Mo Kα radiation （λ=0.071 073 nm）operating at 50 kV and 30 mA，using ω-2θ scan mode.The data reduction was made with the Bruker SAINT package［14]. Absorption corrections were performed using the SADABS program［15].The structures were solved by direct methods and refined on F2by fullmatrix least-squares using SHELXL-97 with anisotropic displacement parameters for all non-hydrogen atoms in all two structures［16].Hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atomswereplaced in calculated positions and refined as riding mode，with dC-H=0.093 nm （methane）or 0.096 nm （methyl）and Uiso（H）=1.2Ueq（Cmethane）or Uiso（H）=1.5Ueq（Cmethyl）.All computations were carried out using the SHELXTL-97 program package［16-17].The absorption spectra of complexes 1a and 1b in CH2Cl2solution were recorded on a Shimazu UV-3100 spectrometer.CD spectra were recorded by a Jasco J-810 spectropolarimeter.The Electric hysteresis loops were recorded by a Ferroelectric Tester Precision PremierⅡby using powder samples in pellets at room temperature.CCDC:818185，1a.

2 Results and discussion

2.1 Crystal structure

The crystal data and structure refinements for compound 1a are provided in Table 1.Similar to those europium (Ⅲ) complexes reported previously［4，12]，compound 1a is a mononuclear neutral europium(Ⅲ)compound and crystalizes in triclinic system，space group P1.As shown in Fig.1，each molecule contains three β-diketonate anions，one （+）-4，5-bis（pinene）-2，2′-bipyridine，and one eight-coordinated Eu(Ⅲ) ion.Each of the three diketonate anions provides two donor O atoms to coordinate to the Eu(Ⅲ)ion.The other two coordination sites of the Eu(Ⅲ)ion are occupied by two N atomsofthe chiralbipyridine derivative to complete the eight-coordinate configuration.

Fig.1 Molecular structure of 1a

Selected bond lengths and angles are summarized in Table 2.The Eu-O bond lengths range from 0.231 8 to 0.238 5 nm，while the two Eu-N bond lengths are 0.258 7（16）and 0.255 6（15）nm，respectively.Eight bonds with different lengths give rise to a strongly distorted square-antiprism environment around the Eu(Ⅲ) ion （Fig.2）.The O1-O2-O3-O4 （bottom plane）and O5-O6-N1-N2 atoms （top plane）comprise the two square-basic planesofthe antiprism with mean deviations of 0.002 78 and 0.013 97 nm from each plane，and their dihedral angle is 3.442°.For a regularsquareantiprism，twosquareplanesare parallel to each other and one square rotates 45°from the other.However，in 1a，the top plane rotates only 41.4°from the bottom plane.

2.2 Circular dichroism （CD）spectra

Fig.3 UV-Vis and CD spectra of 1a and 1b in 2×10-5 mol·L-1dichloromethane solution

The chirality ofcomplexes 1a and 1b is confirmed by measuring circulardichroism （CD）spectra （Fig.3）.Two distinct Cotton effect at 245 and 292 nm can be observed，and the spectra of 1a and 1b are almostmirror-symmetric.These features indicate that 1a and 1b are chiral and enantiomeric to each other.

2.3 Ferroelectric properties

Since complexes 1a crystalizes in a polar space group （P1），the ferroelectric properties of 1a were investigated at298 K with compressed powder samples as shown in Fig.4. The ferroelectric measurements reveal that complex 1a indeed displays an obvious ferroelectric behavior and almost reaches thesaturated polarization statuswith a remnant polarization （Pr）of ca.0.27 μC·cm-2and Ecof ca.7.2 kV·cm-1by applying an electric field of 15 kV·cm-1at 4 Hz.The saturation spontaneous polarization （Ps）is about 0.43 μC·cm-2，which exceeds the value of typical ferroelectrics NaKC4H4O6·4H2O （Rosal salt，Ps=0.25 μC·cm-2）.

3 Conclusions

In summary，a couple of pinene-containing chiral europium(Ⅲ)complexes 1a and 1b were prepared.The chirality of complexes 1a and 1b is confirmed by measuring circular dichroism （CD）spectra.Complexes 1a crystalizes in P1 space group of triclinic system.The coordination polyhedron of the Eu(Ⅲ)ion in 1a can be described as a siginificantly distorted squareantiprism.The complex 1a exhibited distinct ferroelectric behaviors with a remnant polarization （Pr）of ca.0.27 μC·cm-2and Ecof ca.7.2 kV·cm-1by applying an electric field of 15 kV·cm-1at 4 Hz.
