Abstract:
CsPbI3 nanocrystals exhibit bright, tunable photoluminescence and are attractive for use in a variety of optoelectronic devices. Existing colloidal syntheses of CsPbI3 predominantly produce nanocubes or other hexahedral shapes because of the stability of the nanocube facets in the perovskite structure. In this work, we utilize a bidentate ammonium ligand with a tunable linker between the two head groups in order to preferentially nucleate and stabilize rhombic dodecahedral nanocrystals. These particles show enhanced environmental stability compared to CsPbI3 nanocrystals capped with monodentate ammonium ligands and self-assemble into ordered, hexagonally packed monolayers. This work represents a new entry into the limited shape catalog of CsPbI3 and expands the design principles for facet-selective ligands in lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals.

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,...

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.
