Abstract:
A5M2X11 and A3M2X9 families (A = monovalent organic cation; M = trivalent metal; X = halogen) are receiving increasing attention because of their combination of easy solution processability and superior ferroelectricity properties. However, synthesizing highly efficient A5M2X11 and A3M2X9-type fluorophores with multiple monomeric inorganic units and achieving their structural interconversion remains challenging. Here, we report two novel zero-dimensional (0D) antimony halides, (C10H16N)5Sb2Cl11·C2H3N (1) and (C10H16N)3Sb2Cl9 (2), which not only contain two distinct [SbX]3- units but also have excellent orange (590 nm) and yellow-green emission (540 nm) with high PLQY of 17.7% and 31.5%, respectively. Interestingly, a reversible structural conversion could be triggered by acetonitrile steam stimulation, accompanied by luminescence switching properties. This work not only enriches the structure of hybrid Sb-based halides but also provides the possibility of well-known A5M2X11 and A3M2X9 families as structural transformation materials.

02:42Ionic 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...
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...
02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
02:52Stereoisomerism
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...

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,...
