Abstract

Low-dimensional (LD) organic metal halides (OMHs) have a bright future due to their excellent photoelectric characteristics and unique structure. However, the synthesis and emission control of LD-OMHs are still unclear. Herein, the different dimensional (zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), and three-dimensional (3D)) of OMHs were obtained by the reaction of 1,4-diazabicyclo (2.2.2) octane with PbBr2 in different stoichiometric ratios. This discovery shows that the structure and properties of OMHs can be regulated while maintaining the functional organic cations of OMHs, which broadens the path for the development of functional LD-OMHs. Among them, 0D-OMH 1 and 1D-OMH 3 have narrow-band (full width at half-maximum (fwhm) = 74 nm) and broad-band (fwhm = 201 nm) emission, respectively. We found that when organic cations have no contribution to the formation of conduction band minimum and valence band maximum, and the distances between polyhedrons are larger than the van der Waals diameter of the halogen atom, the effect of phonons on exciton transitions can be reduced to achieve a narrow-band emission. Further, Cu(I)- and Mn (II)-based 0D-OMHs were synthesized, which have high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) (33.97 and 47.33%, respectively). When the emitting of 0D-OMHs produced by the interaction of the metal-center and halogens, the asymmetric planar metal-halogen structure will result in a higher PLQY.
