Abstract
Two novel one-dimensional (1D) lead halide elastic crystals, [Pb2Br4(DMA)2]n (1) (DMA = N,N-dimethylacetamide) and [Pb2Br4(DMF)2]n (2) (DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), were reported. Both compounds 1 and 2 feature a neutral 1D bimetallic axis chain structure. The bending strain of compound 1 is 1.36%, higher than those of all reported 1D single-metal axis chain coordinate polymers, indicating the superior elastic properties of the 1D bimetallic axis chain polymers. Compound 1 exhibits strong red-to-near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence emission below 200 K, with an emission peak at 700 nm and a full width at half maximum (fwhm) of 200 nm, indicating strong electron–phonon coupling in compound 1. The large Stokes shift and broad fwhm of compound 1 may be attributed to its excellent elasticity, as this elasticity allows the molecule’s self-trapped exciton state to undergo greater structural distortion. It is suggested that 1D organic lead halide elastic crystals could be promising candidates for emerging applications in efficient NIR light-emitting diodes, supercontinuum sources, and flexible NIR optical waveguides.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physical Chemistry (JPC) Letters is devoted to reporting new and original experimental and theoretical basic research of interest to physical chemists, biophysical chemists, chemical physicists, physicists, material scientists, and engineers. An important criterion for acceptance is that the paper reports a significant scientific advance and/or physical insight such that rapid publication is essential. Two issues of JPC Letters are published each month.
