Low-dimensional tin-based
halide perovskites are considered
as
eco-friendly substitutions of the iconic lead-based perovskites to
host the potential as optoelectronic materials. However, a fundamental
understanding of the structure–property relationship of these
Sn(II)-based hybrids is still inadequate due to the limited members
of this material family. To our knowledge, there is still lack of
reports on a series of Sn(II)-based halide perovskites with the same
organic cation but covering chloride, bromide, and iodide. In this
work, three new halide perovskites TMPDASnX4 (X = Cl, Br,
I) (TMPDA = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine)
are successfully synthesized, which provide the ideal paradigm to
study the halogen-dependent evolution of the structure and properties
of Sn(II)-based hybrid perovskites. Despite sharing the same monoclinic
lattice (P21/m space
group), it is demonstrated that TMPDASnCl4 adopts a one-dimensional
structure composed of a five-coordinated pyramid configuration due
to an extremely long Sn···Cl distance, while the typical
two-dimensional motif is still maintained in TMPDASnBr4 and TMPDASnI4. The ambient stability is declined in the
order from chloride to bromide and then to iodide. TMPDASnCl4 exhibits a broad-band bluish-white-light emission (centered at 515
nm, full width at half-maximum (fwhm) = 193 nm) with the Commission
Internationale de l′ Elairage (CIE) coordinates as (0.29, 0.34).
Further, the correlated color temperature and color-rendering index
were determined as 7617 K and 80.5, respectively. Based on the synthesis
of new crystals, our work sheds light on the composition–structure–property
relationship of hybrid Sn(II)-based halide perovskites.
