Article Abstract

Rare-earth ions have garnered significant attention due to their large ionic radii and unique electronic configurations. In this study, two scandium-based pyrophosphates, ASc(PO) (A = Ba, Pb), were successfully synthesized by using a high-temperature melting method. They are the first reported examples of divalent cations binding to scandium-based pyrophosphates. The anionic backbones in their structures are all based on Sc-P-O frameworks, and two distinct cluster configurations are observed: cyclic [ScPO] and linear [ScPO] clusters. A comprehensive comparison of Sc/Y-based pyrophosphates reveals a strong correlation between the Sc-P-O configurations and the A-site cationic coordination environments. This work also investigated the influence of cations on the P-O configuration of existing Sc/Y-based pyrophosphates, which also offers useful reference for the synthesis of novel scandium-based phosphates.

The Jahn-Teller effect significantly affects the CrF octahedra in Cr(II) fluoroperovskites. Here, we report the synthesis, crystal structures, and magnetic properties of RbCrF and CsCrF, thereby completing a comprehensive investigation of the CrF fluoroperovskites. Powder samples are prepared using a wet-chemical method, which allows stabilization of Cr(II).

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are rapidly developing as a class of versatile materials combining the exceptional optoelectronic characteristics with tunable ferroelectricity and nonlinear optical responses. Spanning across the three-dimensional, two-dimensional, and one-dimensional architectures, these materials have demonstrated exceptional structural diversity, providing immense opportunities for tailored property design. We start by referencing the classic oxide perovskites, sharing differences and similarities of these material systems.

N-Methylation and Fluorination of the Arylammonium Cation Enable Melting Point Suppression in Layered Hybrid Metal Halides.

Achieving low melting points (T) in 2D hybrid metal halides (HMHs) is of great significance in glass formation and single-crystal film-based device fabrication for optoelectronic applications. Compared with organic cations with flexible alkyl chains or rings, the HMHs with rigid aryl rings as the organic cations are more conducive to charge transfer and glass formation. However, their T values are generally high and the difference between the T and decomposition temperature is small, which is unfavorable for melting processing.

The optical properties of the metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have been modulated by replacing the typical A-site cations or, alternatively, by using different halides (I, Br or Cl) in the chemical composition. In this study, a combined strategy involving A-site cation engineering and halide tuning precursor engineering has been employed to investigate its impact on the structural and optical properties of BA(MA )PbX (BA = butylammonium, MA = methylammonium, A = A-site cation, X = I, Br) two-dimensional (2D) perovskite. The substitution of guanidinium (Gua) and ethylammonium (EA) for methylammonium (MA), along with the use of Br instead of I as anions, was systematically analyzed.
