Abstract
Photoinduced self-trapped exciton emission is common in soft matter metal halide semiconductors, whereas analogous phenomena in metal halide insulators with localized emitting centers and delayed satellite emission have rarely been identified. In this study, a new zero-dimensional Mn(II) hybrid of [3DPTPP]MnBr4 (3DPTPP = (3-(dimethylamino)propyl)(triphenyl)phosphonium) with only one crystallographic Mn2+ site but dual emission is reported. The delayed red emission (∼630 nm) is successfully assigned to a satellite of the green-emissive (∼530 nm) MnBr42- tetrahedron shifted by N-H vibration (∼2500 cm-1), directly evidenced by the Raman spectra and further supported by density functional theory calculation. The photoluminescence decay curves demonstrate their same origin, but the red emission exhibits a delayed process. The temperature- and pressure-dependent PL spectra, temperature-dependent distortion of the MnBr42- tetrahedron, and light polarization spectra confirmed the consistency and distinctness of the dual emission. This study will inspire further research on self-trapped optoelectronic processes in soft metal halides.
