Abstract:
The corrugated <110> oriented layered metal halide perovskites (MHP) are gaining increased attention for a variety of properties including intrinsic white light emission. One prototypical candidate is 1-(3-aminopropyl)imidazole lead bromide, which was reported to crystallize as the <110> oriented perovskite (API)PbBr4 [API = 1-(3-aminopropyl)imidazole]. This work shows that under similar reaction conditions, the same components can instead form (API)2Pb3Br10, which has a "perovskitoid" structure. (API)2Pb3Br10 exhibits a reversible phase transition between 60 and -20 °C from a polar space group I2 to a centrosymmetric space group . The structures and properties of both phases have been characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) accompanied by variable-temperature optical absorption and photoluminescence. In addition, a thermal decomposition of (API)PbBr4 into (API)2Pb3Br10 has been observed between 250 and 300 °C.

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...
