Synthesis and soft crystal structure-induced broad emission of (NH3C6H12NH3)InBr5·2H2O

Abstract

We report a simple synthesis of a new lead-free zero-dimensional (0D) hybrid halide compound, (5P1)InBr5·2H2O [(5P1) = NH3C6H12NH3], which hosts isolated and distorted octahedra of [InBr5(H2O)]2−, surrounded by bulky asymmetric organic cations [(5P1)2+] and H2O molecules. The hybrid crystals exhibit broad self trapped excitonic (STE) emission due to strong anharmonic soft structure.
