M. Kawahara et al., Crystal structure and optical properties of novel one-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid compounds, SYNTH METAL, 121(1-3), 2001, pp. 1331-1332
A novel organic-inorganic hybrid compound, C10H10N2PbBr4, was prepared by r
eacting lead bromide (II) with 4,4'-bipyridinium dibromide, The result of s
ingle crystal X-ray analysis indicated that the crystal has one-dimensional
chains of line-sharing PbBr6 octahedra. The absorption and fluorescence sp
ectra of the crystals also indicate the formation of one-dimensional inorga
nic chains and the quantum confinement effect.
