Abstract:
Hybrid organic-inorganic compounds crystallizing in a three-dimensional (3D) perovskite-type architecture have attracted considerable attention due to their multifunctional properties. One of the most intriguing groups is perovskites with hypophosphite linkers. Herein, the optical properties of six hybrid hypophosphite perovskites containing manganese ions are presented. The band gaps of these compounds, as well as the luminescence properties of the octahedrally coordinated Mn2+ ions associated with the 4T1g(G) → 6A1g(S) transition are shown to be dependent on the organic cation type and Goldschmidt tolerance factor. Thus, a correlation between essential structural features of Mn-based hybrid hypophosphites and their optical properties was observed. Additionally, the broad infrared luminescence of the studied compounds was examined for potential application in an indoor lighting system for plant growth.

Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
