Abstract:
A chiral bidentate ligand, (R)-(-)-1-amino-2-propanol (denoted as R1) or (R)-(-)-2-amino-1-propanol (denoted as R2), was used to modify achiral 2D tin-based perovskite HDASnBr4 (HDA: 1,6-hexamethylenediamine) to form R1-HDASnBr4 or R2-HDASnBr4 by an acid precipitation method. R1-HDASnBr4 exhibits a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and strong yellow circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with a luminescence asymmetry g-factor (|glum|) of 8.3 × 10-3, while R2-HDASnBr4 shows a PLQY of 95% and |glum| of 3.2 × 10-3. Both exhibit strong CPL activities, attributed to the significant centro-asymmetric distortion induced by the interaction between the chiral ligand and the inorganic lattice of 2D perovskites. The |glum| of R1-HDASnBr4 is 2.6× that of R2-HDASnBr4, resulting from the direct coordination of the hydroxyl group attached to the chiral carbons in R1 with the [SnBr6]4- inorganic framework, which induces a higher degree of distortion than the amino group in R2. Furthermore, we explored the potential of R1-HDASnBr4 as a chiral inducer and a CPL source to facilitate asymmetric polymerization. This work offers a simple strategy to introduce chirality to achiral perovskites.

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...
02:34Structural 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,...

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...

Selection Rules: Thermal Activation
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.
