Diisobutylammonium bromide is found to be a unique improper ferroelastic in which the elastic degrees of freedom seem to play the essential role, giving rise to a domain pattern resembling that of martensitic phase transitions. A weak canted ferroelectricity turns out switchable by an electric field.
