Abstract:
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites, with the formula ABX(3) (A=organic cation, B=metal cation, and X=halide; for example, CH3NH3PbI3), have diverse and intriguing physical properties, such as semiconduction, phase transitions, and optical properties. Herein, a new ABX(3)-type semiconducting perovskite-like hybrid, (hexamethyleneimine)PbBr3 (1), consisting of one-dimensional inorganic frameworks and cyclic organic cations, is reported. Notably, the inorganic moiety of 1 adopts a perovskite-like architecture and forms infinite columns composed of face-sharing PbBr6 octahedra. Strikingly, the organic cation exhibits a highly flexible molecular configuration, which triggers an above-room-temperature phase transition, at T-c=338.8K; this is confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), specific heat capacity (C-p), and dielectric measurements. Further structural analysis reveals that the phase transition originates from the molecular configurational distortion of the organic cations coupled with small-angle reorientation of the PbBr6 octahedra inside the inorganic components. Moreover, temperature-dependent conductivity and UV/Vis absorption measurements reveal that 1 also displays semiconducting behavior below T-c. It is believed that this work will pave a potential way to design multifeatured perovskite hybrids by utilizing cyclic organic amines.
