Perovskite lead halides (CH₃NH₃PbI₃) have recently taken a promising position in photovoltaics and optoelectronics because of remarkable semiconducting properties and possible ferroelectricity. However, the potential toxicity of lead arouses great environmental concern for widespread application. A new chemically tailored lead‐free semiconducting hybrid ferroelectric is reported, N‐methylpyrrolidinium)₃Sb₂Br₉ (1), which consists of a zero‐dimensional (0‐D) perovskite‐like anionic framework connected by corner‐ sharing SbBr₆ coordinated octahedra. It presents a large ferroelectric spontaneous polarization of approximately 7.6 μC cm⁻², as well as notable semiconducting properties, including positive temperature‐dependent conductivity and ultraviolet‐sensitive photoconductivity. Theoretical analysis of electronic structure and energy gap discloses a dominant contribution of the 0‐D perovskite‐like …
