Lewis-Base Adducts of Lead(II) Compounds. XII. Synthetic, Spectroscopic and Structural Studies of Some 1:1 Adducts of Lead(II) (Pseudo-)Halides With Aromatic Bidentate Ligands
Abstract:Syntheses and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determinations are recorded for some 1 : 1 adducts of lead(II) (pseudo-)halides with 1,10-phenanthroline (' phen ') and 2,2'-bipyridine (' bpy '). [( phen )PbX2](∞|∞), X = Cl , Br, I, have been refined in a common monoclinic C2/c setting, a ≈ 16.2, b ≈ 10.6, c ≈ 8.25 Ǻ, β 105°, Z = 4 f.u .; (conventional R on |F| 0.034, 0.046, 0.043 for No = 1694, 1626, 1387 independent, 'observed' (I > 3σ(I)) reflections respectively); [( bpy )PbI2](∞|∞) is i… Show more

COMMENTMetal polypyridyl coordination compounds, such as ruthenium polypyridyl complexes, have been extensively studied in the past few years, as their unusual binding properties combined with their general photoactivity make them suitable candidates as DNA secondary structure probes, photocleavers and antitumor drugs.1 It is of note that despite the interesting properties and the large amount of work that has been performed on complexes with dipyrido[3,2,-a:2 ,3 -c]phenazine (DPPZ), 2 there are relatively few crystal structures available for these complexes. The mononuclear lead(II) complex [PbI 2 (DPPZ) 2 ] (I) crystallizes in space group C2/c and has two fold symmetry (Fig. 1). The six-coordinated lead atom is surrounded by four nitrogen atoms from two ligands and two iodides to form a distorted octahedral geometry. The Pb-I distance is 3.1331(4)Å, which is 0.06Å shorter than that of [PbI 2 (4,4 -bipy)] n .3 The Pb-N distances are 2.612(4) and 2.621(4)Å, and these are about 0.09Å longer than those in [PbI 2 (2,2 -bipy)] and [PbI 2 (1,10-phen)]. 4,5 The N(1)-Pb-N(2) bite angle in I is only 62.57 (12) • , whereas the bite angles in Programs used: teXsan, SHELXL and ORTEP. CCDC deposition number: 195974.
“…After complexation of PbI 2 with 1,10-phen, the typical Raman bands of PbI 2 (71, 95, and 111 cm –1 ), shown in Figure a, and the Raman signals of the 1,10-phen powder (for example, the peaks at 411, 711, 1035, 1295, and 1404 cm –1 ), shown in Figure b, are retained with a uniform upshift. Furthermore, new Raman bands are observed for the complex at 249 and 265 cm –1 wavenumbers, shown in Figure a with an asterisk, which is attributed to the Pb–N(1,10-phen) stretching vibrations. − Indeed, these upshifted and observed new signals in Raman spectrum for the complex powder are both good indicators of chemical interactions between the small molecule ligand and Pb atoms and support the anchoring ability of the 1,10-phen on the unreacted PbI 2 and undercoordinated lead ions of the perovskite surface.…”
Passivation is one of the most promising concepts to heal defects created at the surface and grain boundaries of polycrystalline perovskite thin films, which significantly deteriorate the photovoltaic performance and stability of corresponding devices. Here, 1,10-phenanthroline, known as a bidentate chelating ligand, is implemented between the methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI 3 ) film and the hole-transport layer for both passivating the lead-based surface defects (undercoordinated lead ions) and converting the excess/unreacted lead iodide (PbI 2 ) buried at interfaces, which is problematic for the longterm stability, into "neutralized" and beneficial species (PbI 2 (1,10-phen) x , x = 1, 2) for efficient hole transfer at the modified interface. The defect healing ability of 1,10phenanthroline is verified with a set of complementary techniques including photoluminescence (steady-state and time-resolved), space-charge-limited current (SCLC) measurements, light intensity dependent JV measurements, and Fourier-transform photocurrent spectroscopy (FTPS). In addition to these analytical methods, we employ advanced X-ray scattering techniques, nano-Fourier transform infrared (nano-FTIR) spectroscopy, and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) to further analyze the structure and chemical composition at the perovskite surface after treatment at nanoscale spatial resolution. On the basis of our experimental results, we conclude that 1,10phenanthroline treatment induces the formation of different morphologies with distinct chemical compositions on the surface of the perovskite film such that surface defects are effectively passivated, and excess/unreacted PbI 2 is converted into beneficial complex species at the modified interface. As a result, an improved power conversion efficiency (20.16%) and significantly more stable unencapsulated perovskite solar cells are obtained with the 1,10-phenanthroline treatment compared to the MAPbI 3 reference device (18.03%).
