Abstract:
The role of chloride in improving the stability of mixed halide perovskites (MAPbClxBr0.5(1-x)I0.5(1-x))3 is probed using spectroelectrochemistry. The injection of holes into mixed halide perovskite films through applied anodic bias results in the selective migration of iodine with ultimate expulsion into the electrolyte. Increasing the Cl content (x = 0 to 0.1) in the mixed halide perovskite suppresses the iodine mobility and thus decreases the rate of its expulsion into the solution. Implications of iodine mobility induced by hole accumulation and its impact on overall stability is discussed.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...

Halogenation of Alkenes
Consider the bromination of cyclopentene. Molecular bromine is polarized in the proximity of the π electrons of cyclopentene. An electrophilic bromine atom adds across the double bond, forming a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate.
