Abstract

Single perovskite slab alkylammonium lead iodides bromides (C9H19NH3)2PbI2Br2 is a new member of the family of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite compounds. It exhibits a single structural phase transition with changes in the conformation of alkylammonium chains below room temperature. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction and FT-Raman spectroscopy were used to investigate this phase transition. These changes were characterized by a decreased conformational disorder of the methylene units of the alkyl chains. Phase transition was examined in light of the interesting optical properties of this material, as well as the relevance of this system as models for phase transitions in lipid bilayers.
