Lattice dynamics in organic ferroelectric PhMDA (2-phenylmalondialdehyde C 9 H 8 O 2 ) has been investigated using inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectroscopy and first principles based calculations. Most of the prominent features of the INS spectrum originated from the normal modes of hydrogen bonded malondialdehyde (MDA) units rather than from phenyl rings. It is also found that carbon-hydrogen bonds in the MDA unit are tighter than these in phenyl rings. From the calculated splitting of LO (longitudinal optical) and TO (transverse optical) normal modes, it is predicted that hydrogen bonds in MDA units, which hold the solid state structure, contribute more to the ferroelectric polarisation of PhMDA. Any distortion of H-ions in these hydrogen bonds thus affects ferroelectric properties of this material.
