Abstract
The structures of Sr3(FeF6)2, β-NbO2, TlBO2 and CrOF3, previously reported as possible ferroelectrics with no group–supergroup relation between the ferroelectric and the paraelectric symmetries, have been carefully studied. We could not confirm any structural pseudosymmetry with respect to a space group which is not a supergroup of their room-temperature polar space group. In all cases, pseudosymmetry was indeed detected, but only for non-polar supergroups of the actual space groups of the structures. In this sense, the four compounds are possible ferroelectrics, but fulfilling the usual group–supergroup relation between the phase symmetries.
