Abstract:
Lead-free zero-dimensional (0D) organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites have recently attracted increasing attention for their excellent photoluminescence properties and chemical stability. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of an air-stable 0D mixed metal halide perovskite (C8 NH12 )4 Bi0.57 Sb0.43 Br7 ⋅H2 O, in which individual [BiBr6 ]3- and [SbBr6 ]3- octahedral units are completely isolated and surrounded by the large organic cation C8 H12 N+ . Upon photoexcitation, the bulk crystals exhibit ultra-broadband emission ranging from 400 to 850 nm, which originates from both free excitons and self-trapped excitons. This is the first example of 0D perovskites with broadband emission spanning the entire visible spectrum. In addition, (C8 NH12 )4 Bi0.57 Sb0.43 Br7 ⋅H2 O exhibits excellent humidity and light stability. These findings present a new direction towards the design of environmentally-friendly, high-performance 0D perovskite light emitters.

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...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
