Organic-inorganic hybrid materials with the layered perovskite structure were known to have the possibility of the multiferroicity. In the unique layered structure consisting of organic layers and inorganic layers, the symmetry of organic molecules determines the electrical properties, and the magnetic properties depend on the magnetic ordering in metal-halogen octahedral layers. Therefore, physical properties of these hybrid materials depend on the type of organic molecule and composition of metal halide octahedral site. Here, we studied dielectric and magnetic properties of various organic-inorganic hybrid materials including (CH₃NH₃)₂MnCl₄ and (C₆H₅CH₂NH₃)₂CuCl₄ to search for new type of multiferroic materials.
