Enantiomorphic Single Crystals of Linear Lead(II) Bromide Perovskitoids with White Circularly Polarized Emission

Chiroptical hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are emerging as a new class of promising materials with mirror optical signal responses for optoelectronic applications. However, chiroptical white-emission materials have been scarcely unearthed. Herein, four pairs of hybrid lead(II) bromide perovskitoids were obtained, namely, (R)- and (S)-(H(2)MPz)PbBr4 (R/S-MPz-(R)-(-)/(S)-(+)-2-methylpiperazine) (1 and 2), (R)- and (S)-(H(2)MPz)(3)Pb2Br10 center dot 2 DMAc (3 and 4), (R)- and (S)-(H(2)MPz)PbBr4 center dot 0.5 MeCN (5 and 6) and (R)- and (S)-(H(2)MPz)(2)Pb2Br8 center dot DCM (7 and 8). Notably, they all exhibit ultrabroadband emission and chiroptical signals. Perovskitoids 3-6 even achieve white circularly polarized emission with a high dissymmetric factor (g(lum)) (+/- 3x10(-3) for 3 and 4; +/- 8x10(-3) for 5 and 6). This new type of hybrid perovskitoids will attract attention and find applications in chiroptical fields because of the extensively and easily tunable photophysical properties.
