Recent Advances in Luminescent Zero-Dimensional Organic Metal Halide Hybrids

Organic metal halide hybrids (OMHHs) have attracted great research attention owing to their exceptional structure and property tunability. Using appropriate organic and inorganic metal halide components, OMHHs with controlled dimensionalities at the molecular level, from 3D to 2D, 1D, and 0D structures, can be obtained. In 0D OMHHs, anionic metal halide polyhedrons are surrounded and completely isolated by organic cations to form single crystalline host-guest structures. These ionically bonded organic-inorganic hybrid systems often exhibit the intrinsic properties of individual metal halide species, for instance, highly efficient Stokes-shifted broadband emissions. In this progress report, the recent advances in the development and study of luminescent 0D OMHHs are discussed: from synthetic structural control to fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship and device integration.
