Abstract:
Double perovskite-based silver and bismuth Cs2AgBiX6 (X = Cl, Br, I) have shown a bright future for the development of low-risk photovoltaic devices due to their high stability and non-toxicity of their elements, unlike Pb-based perovskites. Despite the great focus on the optoelectronic properties of Cs2AgBiX6 double perovskites, there are limited studies on the behavior of their structural properties. Herein, we carefully examined the cubic structure of Cs2AgBiX6 double perovskites, identifying a pseudo-cubic (ps-cubic) phase, which is similar to the initial cubic phase. The observed pseudo-cubic phase is more consistent with previous experimental results demonstrating higher elastic properties, which are useful for designing optoelectronic devices.

Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

Sigmatropic shifts are classified based on an order term [i, j ], where i and j indicate the number of atoms across which each end of the σ bond migrates. Below are examples of a [3,3] sigmatropic shift in 1,5-hexadiene, referred...

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...
