Abstract

Bulk assemblies of zero-dimensional (0D) metal halides with ‘host-guest’ system provide a promising platform for rationally structural tunability and photoluminescence modulation. In this work, we first report a series of ternary 0D metal halides, (bmpy)9[Pb3Cl11](MnCl4)2-2x(SbCl5)2x (bmpy+ = 1-buty-1-methylpyrrolidinium+, C9NH20+), where the organic cation bmpy+ cocrystallizes with [Pb3Cl11]5- trimer clusters, [MnCl4]2− tetrahedra, and [SbCl5]2− pyramids. The emission color of (bmpy)9[Pb3Cl11](MnCl4)2-2x(SbCl5)2x can be easily tuned from green to warm white and finally to orange-red by controlling the excitation wavelength or the [SbCl5]2−/[MnCl4]2− molar ratio, promising its potential for application in multicolor light-emitting devices or even in encrypting multilevel optical codes. This work presents a novel structural modulation strategy to fabricate superior ordered single-crystalline multicomponent materials with multifunctionalities of 0D luminescent metal halides.
