A novel molecular switchable dielectric material N-methylpyrrolidinium hydrogen tartrate (NMPHT) has been synthesized, which undergoes above room temperature phase transition. Thermal measurements, e.g. differential scanning calorimetry and specific heat, confirm the presence of a phase transition around 317.5 K. The dielectric measurement displays a distinct step-like anomaly around Tc, showing two different dielectric states, which reveals that NMPHT is a switchable dielectric material. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses at variable temperatures demonstrate that the phase transition emerges from the severe disordering of the N-methylpyrrolidinium (NMP) cation, and during the transition the symmetry of NMPHT is transformed from higher (C2/c) to lower (P21/n). These findings will provide a new horizon to design smart dielectric structural phase transition materials by incorporating a flexible NMP based scaffold.
