Two chiral haloplumbate hybrids with thermochromism luminescence and application potential as luminescent thermometers†
Abstract
Two noncentrosymmetric haloplumbate hybrids, [C6H10(NH3)2][PbCl4] (1) and [C6H10(NH3)2][PbBr4] (2), have been synthesized. Crystals of 1 and 2 belong to the chiral space group P212121. The inorganic parts comprise a one-dimensional chain structure for 1 and a two-dimensional sheet structure for 2. Both compounds exhibit thermochromic luminescence originating from dual emission and have potential applications as self-referencing luminescent thermometers.
