Abstract:
The perovskite phase (CH3 NH3 )2 Pb(SCN)2 I2 with a structure closely related to the K2 NiF4 -type was identified as the product of the reaction of CH3 NH3 I and Pb(SCN)2 by single-crystal X-ray analysis. This extends the range of suitable dyes for solar cell applications to a class of perovskite-related structures of the general composition (AMX3 )n (AX)m .

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
