Abstract

The luminescence of single crystals of (TBA)PbCl₃, (TBA)₂Sb₂Cl₈, (TBA)₃Bi₂Cl₉ and (TBA)SnCl₅·2EtOH (TBA = tetrabutylammonium, EtOH = Ethanol) synthsized were assigned distinctively to the centres of self-trapped excitons (STEs), TBA⁺, TBA⁺ and co-emission of STEs and TBA⁺. This work demonstrates that organic cations without benzene or aromatic rings can also be used as the sole luminescence centres for metal halides.
