Abstract:
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites with structural transformation have garnered continued interest in recent years for their potential as multifunctional materials in the field of optoelectronics and smart devices. Herein, we report a novel hybrid organic-inorganic halide, [C5NOH12]2[Cd1.5Cl5(H2O)] (1). Remarkably, the centrosymmetric compound 1 undergoes a structural transformation to a novel noncentrosymmetric hybrid perovskite [C5NOH12][CdCl3] (2) after dehydration. Accompanied by the chemical bond cleavage and reorganization, the zero-dimensional (0D) trinuclear cluster in compound 1 transforms into an intriguing one-dimensional (1D) hexagonal perovskite structure in compound 2, generating multiple optoelectronic switching behaviors. It is worth mentioning that compound 2 demonstrates successive structural phase transitions at 353 and 405 K, resulting in switchable second harmonic generation (SHG) and a dual dielectric response. In addition, compounds 1 and 2 both feature blue-light luminescence, with respective photoluminescence lifetimes of 0.73 and 1.42 ns. This work will offer a pioneering approach and expansive potential for the preparation and development of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite materials with superior properties.
