One-dimensional corner-sharing perovskites: Syntheses, structural evolutions and tunable photoluminescence properties

In recent years, organic-inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites have emerged as a highly promising class of light emitting diodes (LEDs) due to their diverse structures and promising properties. Herein, by choosing various organic molecules as cations, we successfully constructed a series of 1D perovskites of [PMDETA]PbBr 5 , [PMDETA]PbCl 5 , [DMPZ][MA]PbBr 5 , [EEDA][MA]PbCl 5 , [EPZ][MA]PbCl 5 and [EPZ] 3 Pb 2 Br 10 . Under the different structural directing effects of organic cations, these 1D perovskites feature three different kinds of linear or zigzag 1D [PbX 5 ] 3− chains based on purely corner-shared octahedrons. As expected, these 1D perovskites exhibit tunable broadband light emissions from blue to yellow spectral range stemming from the self-trapped excitons based on systematical characterizations including time-resolved, temperature-dependent PL emissions and theoretical calculations. This work provides crystal structural engineering for low-dimensional perovskites and paves a new way to regulate the luminescent properties.
