Abstract
The molecular dynamics of organic–inorganic hybrid halide (OIHH) materials during phase transitions are of utmost importance for their practical applications. In this study, we obtained a novel zero-dimensional (0D) OIHH material (ITP)2SbBr5·CH2Cl2 with a unique matrix that allows for the control of the size and shape of its glass. The luminescent properties of both the (ITP)2SbBr5·CH2Cl2 crystal and glass exhibit photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of 82.13% and 36.23%, respectively. DFT calculation shows that the indirect band gap of the sample is 2.44 eV. AIMD simulations confirm the structural retention of [ITP]+ and [SbBr5]2– units during melting, explaining the high thermal stability of the glass. The structure and optical properties of (ITP)2SbBr5·CH2Cl2 are thoroughly investigated, revealing its potential as a high-performance scintillator with superior light output and spatial resolution in X-ray imaging, as well as its effectiveness in agricultural lighting technology.
期刊介绍:
The journal Chemistry of Materials focuses on publishing original research at the intersection of materials science and chemistry. The studies published in the journal involve chemistry as a prominent component and explore topics such as the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, understanding, and application of functional or potentially functional materials. The journal covers various areas of interest, including inorganic and organic solid-state chemistry, nanomaterials, biomaterials, thin films and polymers, and composite/hybrid materials. The journal particularly seeks papers that highlight the creation or development of innovative materials with novel optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or mechanical properties. It is essential that manuscripts on these topics have a primary focus on the chemistry of materials and represent a significant advancement compared to prior research. Before external reviews are sought, submitted manuscripts undergo a review process by a minimum of two editors to ensure their appropriateness for the journal and the presence of sufficient evidence of a significant advance that will be of broad interest to the materials chemistry community.
