A lead-free perovskite-like hybrid with above-room-temperature switching of quadratic nonlinear optical properties

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 May 29;54(44):5614-5617. doi: 10.1039/c8cc02496k.

Abstract

We report a new lead-free perovskite-like hybrid, composed of hexamethyleneimine and one-dimensional [SbCl5]n2- polyanionic zigzag chains, which shows above-room-temperature switching of quadratic nonlinear optical (NLO) properties induced by the unique order-disorder conformational changes of the organic cation.
