Synthesis, crystal structure and optical properties of quasi-one-dimensional lead (II) iodide: C14H18N2Pb2I6

Quasi-one-dimensional lead (II) iodide compound, C14H18N2Pb2I6, with unique crystal structure was synthesized and solved for the crystal structure. These novel inorganic-organic hybrids have high thermal stability of upto 300 °C and show excitonic and charge-transfer features in their optical properties. An attempt has been made to understand the structural and optical mechanisms between inorganic one-dimensional polymeric PbI nano ribbons and the guest organic moiety for future applications in nanoscaled electronic devices.
