Abstract
In order to reveal the integrated effect of inorganic lattice structure disturbances and chiral ligands on the structure of tin halide hybrid materials, we show the synthesis, crystal growth, dissolution recrystallization structural transformation (DRST), optical properties, energy band structure, and nonlinear optical properties of a class of chiral tin bromide R/S-2-mpip[SnBr3]Br (2-mpip is 2-methylpiperazinium) and R/S-2-mpipSnBr6 for the first time. The formation of R/S-2-mpipSnBr6 in solution was interestingly caused by irreversible DRST of R/S-2-mpip[SnBr3]Br. The second-harmonic generation response of the new phase R-2-mpipSnBr6 is significantly enhanced compared to that of the initial phase R-2-mpip[SnBr3]Br. These structural transformations of chiral tin bromides reflect, to some extent, the DRST commonality of the tin halide family induced by oxidation and serve as a starting point for investigating the structural chirality and asymmetry of chiral metal hybrid halides.
