Recently, a new nematic polymorph with highly polar order has been found. This is the long-awaited ferronematic (NF) phase. A common significant characteristic is a colossal dielectric permittivity (>10,000) in the NF phase. Here, the polymorphic structures and characteristics of a 1,3-dioxane-tethered ferronematogen (DIO) are introduced.
