Structural non-centrosymmetry in semiconducting organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites can introduce functionalities like anomalous photovoltaics and nonlinear optical properties. Here we a design principle to prepare Pb- Bi-based two- one-dimensional with polar non-centrosymmetric space groups. The relies on creating dissimilar hydrogen halogen bonding non-covalent interactions at the interface. For example, organic cations I-(CH2)3-NH2(CH3)+ (MIPA), -CH3 is substituted by -CH2I one...
Abstract Optoelectronically active hybrid lead halide perovskites dissociate in water. To prevent this dissociation, here, we introduce long‐range intermolecular cation‐π interactions between A‐site cations of perovskites. An aromatic diamine like 4,4′‐trimethylenedipyridine, if protonated, can show a stacking, and therefore, serves as our cation. Consequently, 4,4′‐trimethylenedipyridinium bromide [(4,4′‐TMDP)Pb 2 Br 6 ], one‐dimensional perovskite, remains completely stable after...

Abstract Low‐dimensional lead‐halide perovskites show wide structural and compositional diversity. Multiple functionalities can be introduced in these materials for diverse linear nonlinear optical applications. Nonlinear (NLO) processes depend on material polarizability, crystal symmetry, processibility. The flexibility of choosing organic cations provides an opportunity enhanced NLO responses by enhancing the overall system polarizability. A highly polarizable diisopropylammonium [Dipa;...
Hybrid lead halide perovskites have emerged as an important class of optoelectronic materials. A creative choice "A"-site organic cations produces hybrid with reduced dimensionality and intriguing light–matter interactions. Nonlinear optical effects are expected to be stronger in one-dimensional (1D) halides compared those their 2D or 3D analogues due greater quantum dielectric confinements.
