Abstract
Energetic molecular perovskites (EMPs) are a high-energy
subclass
of molecular perovskites that integrate oxidizers and fuels within
a single framework. However, the structures of reported EMPs remain
rather limited, and the structural contribution and governing role
of their component ions remain elusive. Herein, we develop an A-site
cation-templated strategy to direct the spatial orientation of N–H···O
hydrogen bonds, enabling the rational engineering of two Cs-based
EMPs with distinct 3D frameworks: trigonal DCP-1 and tetragonal TCP-1.
The inductive effect of the A-site cation in framework construction
is elucidated. Unlike H2hmta2+, H2dabco2+ features a unique parallel N–H vector field,
which drives the connection of [Cs(ClO4)6] octahedra
through a rare alternating face-sharing and corner-sharing mode. This
assembly results in the first EMP crystallizing in the R3̅c space group. Such structural divergence,
governed by the spatial orientation of hydrogen bonds, leads to a
significant differentiation in physicochemical properties. This work
not only introduces cesium into EMPs for the first time but also expands
the structural diversity of EMPs by introducing an unusual trigonal
framework. The universal principle of tailoring crystal structures
and energetic properties by A-site hydrogen-bond vectors is revealed,
providing insights into next-generation high-performance energetic
materials.
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.
