Halogen bonds regulating structures and optical properties of hybrid iodobismuthate perovskites

Abstract

Successive structural transformations were observed in the methanolic solution containing 4-iodo-1-methylpyridin-1-ium iodide (IPyMe·I) and bismuth iodide (BiI3). When kept in the solution, the amorphous solid (P_1) obtained immediately at mixing...

Ternary Complexes of BiI3/CuI and SbI3/CuI with Tetrahydrothiophene

“…It solved in orthorhombic space group Pbcn , as half-independent. All Bi–I, Cu–I, and Cu–S bond lengths were within conventional ranges. − Bond angles around Bi were within 3° of 90° octahedral (O h ) and around Cu within 6.5° of 109.5° tetrahedral ( T d ). The structure is composed of O h BiI 6 units that are bridged to T d CuI 2 (THT) 2 units via pairs of μ 2 -I, forming via Cu­(μ 2 -I) 2 Bi rhombs, see Figure .…”

“…We are interested in the CuX-EX 3 (E = Bi, Sb) as a substitute for PbX 2 system. A good deal of literature exists for charge-separated halobismuthate­(III) and haloantimonate­(III) salts, − ,,− much of it with alkali or organic ammonium cations. Additionally, there are multiple reports of halobismuthate and haloantimonate anions containing Cu­(I) or Ag­(I), such as Bi 2 Cu 2 I 10 2– , or paired with Cu­(I) or Ag­(I) cations, ,− many of which show relatively small band gaps.…”

However, neutral ligand-supported iodobismuthate/cuprate and iodoantimonate/cuprate compounds remain extraordinarily rare.…”

Copper and silver heterometallic iodoantimonates: structure, thermal stability, and optical properties

“…3), can strongly influence the structure and properties of the resulting materials. 44,45 Heterometallic iodobismuthates 3 and 4 are isostructural, crystallizing in a monoclinic crystal system with similar unit cell parameters (Table S1 in ESI †). In 4, the contact is much shorter (3.709 Å and 3.676 Å in 3 and 4, respectively), which can be explained by the XB donor ability of Br atoms.…”
