An organic-inorganic hybrid antimony(III) oxalate (C5H6ON)2[Sb2O(C2O4)3] has been successfully obtained by simultaneous combination of π-conjugated 4-hydroxypyridine and (C2O4)2– group with stereochemical active Sb(III) cation. The compound features a layered structure, and the equatorial planes of SbO6 units, π-conjugated (C2O4)2– and (C5H6ON)+ groups are closer to a planar arrangement, representing strong structural anisotropy that favors a large birefringence. As expected, (C5H6ON)2[Sb2O(C2O4)3] exhibits a large birefringence of 0.279 at 546 nm. Structural and theoretical analyses indicate that the combination of multiple π-conjugated units is a feasible approach for designing and exploring new superior birefringent materials.

In the realm of molecular phase transition research, particularly for applications in sensors, data storage and switching technologies, the role of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials has been increasingly recognized for their significant potential. Nevertheless, hybrid post-perovskites, as a critical subclass of perovskites, have not been thoroughly studied and mainly limit in the instances based on polyatomic bridging agents like dicyanamide (dca−) and non-cyclic organic cations. Herein, a polar cyclic quaternary ammonium cation, N,N-dimethylpyrrolidinium (DMP+), was used to assemble a new hybrid post-perovskite, (DMP)[Mn(dca)3] (1), which undergoes a phase transition from orthorhombic Bmmb to monoclinic P21/n space group at 249 K. By employing multiple techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry, variable-temperature single-crystal X-ray analysis, dielectric measurements, and Hirshfeld surface analysis, we disclosed the role of polar cyclic quaternary ammonium DMP+ in elevating the phase-transition temperature by 48 K, generating significant dielectric switching effect and facilitating interlayer sliding of inorganic framework.
在分子相变研究领域,尤其是传感器、数据存储和开关技术应用领域,有机-无机杂化过氧化物材料的巨大潜力日益得到认可。然而,混合后包晶石作为包晶石的一个重要子类,尚未得到深入研究,主要局限于基于多原子桥接剂(如双氰胺(dca)和非环有机阳离子)的实例。在此,我们使用极性环状季铵阳离子--二甲基吡咯烷鎓(DMP)来组装一种新的混合后过闪石--(DMP)[Mn(dca)](),它在 249 K 时经历了从正方晶到单斜 2/空间群的相变。通过采用差示扫描量热法、变温单晶 X 射线分析、介电测量和 Hirshfeld 表面分析等多种技术,我们揭示了极性环状季铵 DMP 在将相变温度提高 48 K、产生显著的介电转换效应和促进无机框架层间滑动方面的作用。

Materials exhibiting dielectric switching response and photoluminescence (PL) are promising for sensors and information storage. In previous research, we synthesized a series of materials with red or green PL and dielectric switching capabilities by incorporating luminescent metal halides into organic ammonium compounds. However, effective modification to synthesize organic-inorganic hybrid materials with dielectric switching response and orange PL continues to be a challenge in the respective fields. Orange PL materials are valuable for switching and sensors, and most orange light sources are derived from rare earth elements, making them harder to obtain. We have successfully synthesized two organic-inorganic hybrid materials ([CMPD]PbBr3 (1) and [BMPD]PbBr3 (2), CMPD = N-ClCH2-N-methylpiperidine, BMPD = N-BrCH2-N-methylpiperidine) that exhibit both orange PL and dielectric switching response. When Cl in compound 1 is substituted by Br in compound 2, the phase transition temperature of the compound is elevated by 45 K. These compounds exhibit captivating orange light emission when exposed to ultraviolet lamps. This research provides insights into exploring multifunctional materials with orange PL and dielectric switching response and provides proof for halogen substitution strategies to design materials with higher phase transition temperatures.

Two-dimensional (2D) lead halide perovskites have attracted tremendous attention due to their outstanding physical properties. However, the presence of toxic lead is a major problem for large-scale applications. Here, we report the synthesis, phase transition, dielectric and photoluminescence (PL) properties of a lead-free 2D Ge-based perovskite (BIM)2GeI4 (BIM = benzimidazolium) which experiences a phase transition at 405 K accompanied by an order-disorder change of organic spacer. Moreover, the step-like dielectric transition near the phase transition temperature makes it suitable for dielectric switching. Meanwhile, (BIM)2GeI4 has a direct bandgap of 2.23 eV and broadband emission from 550 to 1000 nm, implying its unique optical property for potential near-infrared lighting and displaying. This work provides a fresh example for the development of lead-free 2D Ge-based perovskite with potential applications in the fields of optoelectronics and high temperature dielectric switching.

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIP) have attracted increasing interest in the last decade. While current research in this field focuses on metal halide HOIPs because of their excellent photovoltaic and optoelectronic properties, other hybrid perovskites are also being designed and developed for other properties. Among them, HOIPs bridged by nitrate show structural diversity and a remarkable range of physical properties. In this mini review, we summarize their structural features and rich physical properties including structural phase transitions, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, piezomagnetic and photoluminescencent properties. In addition, the challenges for improving the physical properties achieved by such materials and the space for further development of such materials are also discussed.
