Lead halide perovskites (LHPs) have superior luminescent properties, but their toxicity hinders their commercialization, arousing interests in tin halide perovskites as environmentally friendly substitutes for LHPs. Herein, we synthesized a series of two-dimensional tin halide perovskite ODASnBr4-xIx (ODA denotes 1,8-octanediammonium, X = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) microcrystals via an aqueous-phase method. The differences between ODASnI4 and ODASnBr4 in luminescent properties and morphological characteristics were systematically discussed for the first time and attributed to light-driven ligand-to-metal charge transfer. The prepared ODASnBr4 has a PL peak at 567 nm and a PL QY of 99%, and the white light-emitting diodes fabricated with ODASnBr4 and commercial blue phosphors realized a luminous efficacy of up to 96.27 lm/W, which demonstrated the remarkable potential of ODASnBr4 microcrystals for high-efficiency white light-emitting diode applications.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

Crystal 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,...
