Abstract:
Metal halide perovskites have shown enormous potential in perovskite solar cells and light-emitting diodes and made unprecedented progress in the past decade. Pressure engineering as an effective technique can systematically modify the electronic structures and physical properties of functional materials. Low-dimensional metal halide perovskites (0D, 1D, and 2D) with a variety of compositions have soft lattices that allow pressure to drastically modulate their structures and properties. High-pressure investigations have obtained a comprehensive understanding of their structure-property relationships. Simultaneously, discoveries of novel pressure-driven properties, such as metallization and partially retained band gap narrowing have contributed significantly to the further development of such materials. In this Perspective, we mainly highlight the effect of pressure on the properties and structures of low-dimensional metal halide perovskites, which is essential for designing new perovskite materials and advancing applications.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
02:58Crystal 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.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
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,...
