The molecular ferroelectric, diisopropylammonium bromide (DIPAB) crystal with P21 phase is successfully prepared in an anhydrous environment at room temperature. The results illustrate that the water in the solvent / environment plays a key role in the phase of DIPAB single crystal during crystallization process. The scaling behavior of the dynamic hysteresis of DIPAB crystal is also investigated. The scaling relations of hysteresis area(A) against frequency (f) and applied electric field amplitude (E0) can be expressed with A∝f−0.17E01 in the f-region I (30–6.6Hz), A∝f0.045E00.92 in the f-region II (200–50Hz) and A∝f−0.41E02 in the f-region III (500–250Hz). This three-stage behavior between the loop area A and frequency is ascribed to the coexistence of order-disorder and displacive characters in the ferroelectric transition characters in such molecular ferroelectrics.
