(Diisopropylammonium)2MnBr4: a multifunctional ferroelectric with efficient green-emission and excellent gas sensing properties†
Abstract
Combination of excellent optical properties and ferroelectricity of hybrid materials leads to high-performance optoelectronic devices. Here we present a new organic–inorganic hybrid compound (diisopropylammonium)2MnBr4 (DIPA2MnBr4) which shows high temperature ferroelectricity accompanied by highly efficient green-light emission. DIPA2MnBr4 also exhibits sensitive and selective optical response to alcohol vapors.
