Abstract: | Crystal structures of a series of organic–inorganic hybrid gold iodide perovskites, formulated as A2AuII2]AuIIII4] A=methylammonium (MA) ( 1 ) and formamidinium (FA) ( 2 )], A′2I3]1−xAuII2]xAuIIII4] A′=imidazolium (IMD) ( 3 ), guanidinium (GUA) ( 4 ), dimethylammonium (DMA) ( 5 ), pyridinium (PY) ( 6 ), and piperizinium (PIP) ( 7 )], systematically changed depending on the cation size. In addition, triiodide (I3−) ions were partly incorporated into the AuI2− sites of 3 – 7 , whereas they were not incorporated into those of 1 and 2 . Such a difference comes from the size of the organic cation. Optical absorption spectra showed characteristic intervalence charge-transfer bands from AuI to AuIII species, and the optical band gap increased as the size of the cation became larger. |
