Bidentate ligand engineering provides a versatile strategy to regulate crystallization and lattice dynamics in metal halide perovskites. Herein, a bidentate malonamide ligand, butyl-malonamide-phenylene (Bi-BMP), is incorporated into red 2D/quasi-2D/3D perovskites (PVSK) to construct efficient exciton-funneling channels and enhance crystal rigidity. The malonamide groups form strong dipole-ion coordination with Pb2+, promoting uniform phase growth and balanced dimensional distribution, while the rigid phenylene backbone suppresses thermal lattice expansion and field-induced distortion. These dual functions yield reduced exciton-phonon coupling (γLO = 130 meV) and suppressed nonradiative recombination, resulting in a sixfold enhancement of solid-film PLQY (26.9%). Consequently, Bi-BMP@PVSK devices achieve an EQE of ≈14%, a tenfold longer operational lifetime, and color-pure red emission (CIE 0.623, 0.260) approaching the Rec. 2020 standard. This dual-functional molecular design establishes a general strategy for highly efficient and durable red PeLEDs.

02:58Crystal 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.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
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 eye.
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,...
