Ga. Mousdis et al., Preparation and characterization of [H3N(CH2)(6)NH3]PbI4 and similar compounds with a layered perovskite structure, J MAT CHEM, 10(2), 2000, pp. 515-518
The preparation, crystal structure and optical absorption spectra of [H3N(C
H2)(6)NH3]PbX4 (X = I, Br, Cl) and similar compounds based on Sn are descri
bed. The compounds [H3N(CH2)(6)NH3]PbX4 consist of ordered perovskite sheet
s of the corresponding-corner sharing PbX6 octahedra, which alternate with
the H3N(CH2)(6)NH3 sheets. The excitonic peaks in the optical absorption sp
ectra of these compounds occur at shorter wavelengths than those of the cor
responding compounds with the formula [C6H5CH2CH2NH3](2)MX4.
