A core–shell model of polymetallic hybrid metal halides

Abstract

Most polymetallic hybrid metal halides are assumed to show a homogenous distribution of the metal ions in the bulk. Herein, we demonstrate a core–shell model for the hybrid lead halide [(C₆H₁₈N₃)₂·Pb₂Br₁₀] (C₆H₁₈N₃ = 2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethan-1-aminium) coated with a manganese bromide layer. This model can explain the different photoemission of this composite material, and provides new insights on the investigation of polymetallic low-dimensional organic metal halides.
