Abstract
A new organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (C6H5NH3)2Pb3I8·2H2O single crystal has been synthesized through a facile solution method. In this perovskite, there exists a 1D infinite lead iodide chains constituted by Pb3I8 groups, which is surrounded by anilines. As an active fluorescence quenching sensor material, this perovskite shows excellent performance for Fe3+ detection in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution with a detection limit of 1.0 × 10−7 mol/L, including short response time, high sensitivity and high selectivity. The sensitivity and selectivity towards Fe3+ is much higher than that towards other metal cations, which provides a facile way for detecting Fe3+ cations in solution. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) confirms that the mechanism of fluorescence quenching can be attributed to Fe3+ inhibition to the radiative electron-hole recombination via capturing electrons.
