Abstract: Three inorganic-organic layered perovskite-type hybrids of the general formula [(CnH2n + 1NH3)2PbI4], n = 4, 5 and 6, display a number of reversible first-order phase transitions in the temperature range from 256 to 393 K. [(C4H9NH3)2PbI4] has a single phase transition, [(C5H11NH3)2PbI4] has two phase transitions and [(C6H13NH3)2PbI4] has three phase transitions. In all three cases, the lowest-temperature phase transition is thermochromic and the crystals change colour from yellow in their lowest-temperature phase to orange in their higher-temperature phase for [(C4H9NH3)2PbI4] and [(C6H13NH3)2PbI4], and from orange to red for [(C5H11NH3)2PbI4]. The structural details associated with this phase transition have been investigated via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, SC-XRD, for all three compounds.
Keywords: inorganic organic hybrids; phase transitions; X-ray diffraction; thermochromism.
