Abstract
Organic-inorganic metal halides (OIMHs) with room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) properties have aroused great research enthusiasm as outstanding broadband white-light emitters. Current studies on OIMHs with white-light emission were achieved via self-trapped excitons (STEs), but the unclear mechanism of STE formation is not favorable for the design of materials. In this work, zero-dimensional OIMHs composed of organic 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylamine (TBA) and zine halide were synthesized, which enhanced the ratio of the RTP emission to the fluorescence emission from the TBA ligand. The experimental and mechanistic analyses demonstrate that the manageable RTP is mainly caused by the heavy-atom effect. In particular, by adjusting the incorporation ratio of halogen, an obvious white-light emission with a chromaticity coordinate value of (0.31, 0.33) can be achieved. This work developed a method for regulating the RTP of OIMHs with the heavy-atom effect to realize white-light emission, providing a new idea for the design of white-light emission materials.
