Perovskite‐related 2D‐compounds of the series 5‐AVA2MAn–1PbnBr3n–1 were synthesised and characterised for the representatives with n = 1, 2, and 3 [5‐AVA = 5‐amino valerian acid cation, HOOC(CH2)4NH3+]. In addition, we have investigated the chloride compound 5‐AVA2PbCl4 and the binary compounds 5‐AVAX (X = Cl, Br). The crystal structures of the 2D compounds represent well‐known cut‐outs of the cubic 3D perovskites with layers of corner‐sharing PbBr6 octahedrons in (100) orientation. According to the value of n the layer thickness comprises one, two or three layers. Similar to most of the perovskite‐related representatives the PbBr6 octahedrons are rotated, but with slight differences. We have analysed the rotation pattern with respect to the different aspects of hydrogen bonding and orientation of the organic cations 5‐AVA+ and MA+. Measurements of the optical properties reveal a decrease of the band gap from 3.02 eV (n = 1) over 2.80 eV (n = 2) to 2.70 eV (n = 3). For 5‐AVA2PbBr4 we observed strong blue fluorescence (413 nm) with a remarkably small Strokes shift (47 nm). All investigations were influenced by the reduced stability of the representatives with n = 2 and n = 3 with respect to the degradation into the simpler compounds 5‐AVA2PbBr4 and MAPbBr3. This is in contrast to similar 2D‐iodides, where many representatives are known and n can reach values up to 6 and 7. Our series with n = 1, 2, and 3 represent the third example for a series of compounds with n = 1–3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
