Herein, we successfully synthesized a new organic–inorganic
hybrid manganese halide perovskite C5H5NOMnCl2·H2O, in which organic molecules, water molecules
(through O atoms), and Cl atoms coordinate with Mn atoms to form deformed
[MnO3Cl3] octahedrons. Then, octahedrons form
a chain through edge sharing, resulting in a 1D-chain single crystal
structure. The high-quality C5H5NOMnCl2·H2O single crystal prepared by a simple solvent
evaporation method produced bright red emission at 656 nm attributed
to the d-d transition of Mn2+. Also, it has a photoluminescence
quantum yield (PLQY) of 24.2%. Photoluminescence excitation and absorption
spectra were both featured with multiple bands and were in good agreement
with the Mn2+ 3d energy levels. The photoluminescence decay
spectrum showed an average lifetime of 0.466 ms, which further proves
the d-d transition mechanism. The C5H5NOMnCl2·H2O single crystal had a direct band gap
of 1.43 eV. Moreover, a red light LED with a CCT of 1857 K was obtained
based on the C5H5NOMnCl2·H2O powder, indicating its promising application in red-emitting
LED.
