Title: Microwave Absorption of Organic Metal Halide Nanotubes
Abstract Organic metal halide hybrids have attracted tremendous research interests owing to their outstanding optical and electronic properties suitable for various applications, including photovoltaics, light‐emitting diodes, and photodetectors. Recently, the multifunctionality of this class of materials has been further explored beyond their optical and electronic properties. Here, for the first time the microwave electromagnetic properties of a 1D organic metal halide hybrid, (C6H13N4)3Pb2Br7, a single crystalline bulk assembly of organic metal halide nanotubes, are reported. Good microwave absorption performance with a large reflection loss value of −18.5 dB and a threshold bandwidth of 1.0 GHz is discovered for this material, suggesting its potential as a new microwave absorber. This work reveals a new functionality of organic metal halide hybrids and provides a new material class for microwave absorption application studies.  more » « less

    1D organic metal halide hybrids (OMHHs) exhibit strongly anisotropic optical properties, highly efficient light emission, and large Stokes shift, holding promise for novel photodetection and lighting applications. However, the fundamental mechanisms governing their unique optical properties and in particular the impacts of surface effects are not understood. Herein, 1D C4N2H14PbBr4by polarization‐dependent time‐averaged and time‐resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectroscopy, as a function of photoexcitation energy, is investigated. Surprisingly, it is found that the emission under photoexcitation polarized parallel to the 1D metal halide chains can be either stronger or weaker than that under perpendicular polarization, depending on the excitation energy. The excitation‐energy‐dependent anisotropic emission is attributed to fast surface recombination, supported by first‐principles calculations of optical absorption in this material. The fast surface recombination is directly confirmed by TRPL measurements, when the excitation is polarized parallel to the chains. The comprehensive studies provide a more complete picture for a deeper understanding of the optical anisotropy in 1D OMHHs.

    Abstract Low dimensional (LD) organic metal halide hybrids (OMHHs) have recently emerged as new generation functional materials with exceptional structural and property tunability. Despite the remarkable advances in the development of LD OMHHs, optical properties have been the major functionality extensively investigated for most of LD OMHHs developed to date, while other properties, such as magnetic and electronic properties, remain significantly under‐explored. Here, we report for the first time the characterization of the magnetic and electronic properties of a 1D OMHH, organic‐copper (II) chloride hybrid (C8H22N2)Cu2Cl6. Owing to the antiferromagnetic coupling between Cu atoms through chloride bridges in 1D [Cu2Cl62−]∞chains, (C8H22N2)Cu2Cl6is found to exhibit antiferromagnetic ordering with a Néel temperature of 24 K. The two‐terminal (2T) electrical measurement on a (C8H22N2)Cu2Cl6single crystal reveals its insulating nature. This work shows the potential of LD OMHHs as a highly tunable quantum material platform for spintronics.

    Abstract The photophysical tuning is reported for a series of tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP) metal halide hybrids containing distinct metal halides, TPP2MXn(MXn=SbCl5, MnCl4, ZnCl4, ZnCl2Br2, ZnBr4), from efficient phosphorescence to ultralong afterglow. The afterglow properties of TPP+cations could be suspended for the hybrids containing low band gap emissive metal halide species, such as SbCl52−and MnCl42−, but significantly enhanced for the hybrids containing wide band gap non‐emissive ZnCl42−. Structural and photophysical studies reveal that the enhanced afterglow is attributed to stronger π–π stacking and intermolecular electronic coupling between TPP+cations in TPP2ZnCl4than in the pristine organic ionic compound TPPCl. Moreover, the afterglow in TPP2ZnX4can be tuned by controlling the halide composition, with the change from Cl to Br resulting in a shorter afterglow due to the heavy atom effect.

    Abstract The family of molecular level low‐dimensional organic metal halide hybrids has expanded significantly over the last few years. Here a new type of 1D metal halide structure is reported, in which metal halide octahedra form a corrugated double‐chain structure via nonplanar edge‐sharing. This material with a chemical formula of C5H16N2Pb2Br6exhibits a broadband yellow emission under ultraviolet light excitation with a photoluminescence quantum efficiency of around 10%. The light‐yellow emission is considered to be attributed to self‐trapping excitons. Theoretical calculations show that the unique alignment of the octahedra leads to small band dispersion and large exciton binding energy. Together with previously reported 1D metal halide wires and tubes, this new bulk assembly of 1D metal halides suggests the potential to develop a library of bulk assemblies of metal halides with controlled structures and compositions.

    Abstract Mechanochemical synthesis has emerged as a facile method for the preparation of a wide range of organic, inorganic, and polymeric materials. Here, we report the use of mechanochemical synthesis for the preparation of ionically bonded organic metal halide hybrids with a zero‐dimensional (0D) structure at the molecular level. (Ph4P)2SbCl5and (Ph4P)2MnCl4were synthesized by grinding appropriate ratios of organic halide salt Ph4PCl with inorganic metal halide salts SbCl3and MnCl2, respectively. The structural and photophysical properties of mechanochemically synthesized (Ph4P)2SbCl5and (Ph4P)2MnCl4were characterized, which are almost identical to those of single crystals prepared by slow solution growth. By reacting Ph4PCl with both SbCl3and MnCl2, we have been able to produce a mixture of two 0D organic metal halide hybrids that exhibit a dual emission covering a wide range of the spectrum with Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.4898, 0.4800). Our work has clearly established mechanochemical synthesis as an effective method to produce ionically bonded organic‐inorganic hybrids.
