Structure-directing effects in (110)-layered hybrid perovskites containing two distinct organic moieties†
Abstract
The hybrid perovskites (ImH)(GuH)PbBr4 and (TzH)(GuH)PbBr4 (ImH+ = imidazolium, GuH+ = guanidinium, TzH+ = 1,2,4-triazolium) both adopt (110)-oriented layer structures. However, the GuH+ cation adopts differing crystallographic sites in the two structures (intra-layer versus inter-layer); this is discussed in terms of the sizes of the organic cations and their hydrogen-bonding preferences.
