Abstract:

While metal-ion doping is typically known to preserve the structural and dimensional integrity of zero-dimensional (0D) host metal halide hybrids, introducing only subtle local perturbations, this work uncovers a striking deviation from this paradigm. We demonstrate that dopant incorporation can serve as an effective overall structural modulator, inducing transformations in coordination geometry and framework connectivity/dimensionality. Specifically, Sb³⁺ ions act as dopants that drive a transition in a 1-methylpiperazine-based indium bromide hybrid ((C₅H₁₄N₂)₂InBr₇·H₂O) from a monomeric 0D structure with isolated [InBr₆]^3- octahedral units to a dimeric framework ((C₅H₁₄N₂)₂In_1.81Sb_0.19Br₁₀·(H₂O)₂) featuring edge-sharing [(In/Sb)₂Br₁₀]^4- octahedral units that exhibit strong orange emission (photoluminescence quantum yield of ≈59%). The structural modulation persists across a broad Sb³⁺ concentration range and mirrors the dimeric nature of the Sb analogue control sample ((C₅H₁₄N₂)₂Sb₂Br₁₀·(H₂O)₂). DFT and thermodynamic formation energy analyses confirm self-trapped exciton-mediated Sb³⁺ emission and the energetic preference for the dimeric phase, establishing doping as a powerful route for tuning the overall structure/dimensionality and luminescence of 0D metal halide hybrids.

Resonance and Hybrid Structures

Resonance and Hybrid Structures

According to the theory of resonance, if two or more Lewis structures with the same arrangement of atoms can be written for a molecule, ion, or radical, the actual distribution of electrons is an average of that shown by the various Lewis structures.
Resonance Structures and Resonance Hybrids
The Lewis structure of a nitrite anion (NO2−) may actually be drawn in two different ways, distinguished by the locations of the N–O and N=O bonds.

Phase Transitions

Phase Transitions

Whether solid, liquid, or gas, a substance's state depends on the order and arrangement of its particles (atoms, molecules, or ions). Particles in the solid pack closely together, generally in a pattern. The particles vibrate about their fixed positions but do not move or squeeze past their neighbors. In liquids, although the particles are closely spaced, they are randomly arranged. The position of the particles are not fixed—that is, they are free to move past their neighbors to...

Properties of Transition Metals

Properties of Transition Metals

Transition metals are defined as those elements that have partially filled d orbitals. As shown in Figure 1, the d-block elements in groups 3–12 are transition elements. The f-block elements, also called inner transition metals (the lanthanides and actinides), also meet this criterion because the d orbital is partially occupied before the f orbitals.

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...

Hybrid Zones

Hybrid Zones

Hybrid zones are narrow regions where two closely related species interact, mate, and produce hybrids. Relative to either parent species, hybrids may possess distinct phenotypic or genetic differences that impact their survival and reproductive success. The genetic variances introduced by hybridization influence species diversity and speciation processes within the hybrid zone.
