A novel
organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite crystal, [ClC6H4(CH2)2NH3]2CuBr4 (1), having experienced an invertible
high-temperature phase transition near T
c (the Curie temperature T
c = 355 K),
has been successfully synthesized. The phase-transition characteristics
for compound 1 are thoroughly revealed by specific heat
capacity (C
p), differential thermal analysis,
and differential scanning calorimetry tests, possessing 16 K broad
thermal hysteresis. Multiple-temperature powder X-ray diffraction
analysis further proves the phase-transition behavior of compound 1. Moreover, compound 1 exhibits a significant
steplike dielectric response near T
c,
revealing that it can be deemed to be a promising dielectric switching
material. The variable-temperature fluorescence experiments show distinct
photoluminescence (PL) changes of compound 1. Further
investigation and calculation disclose that the fluorescence lifetime
of compound 1 can reach as long as 55.46 μs, indicating
that it can be a potential PL material. All of these researches contribute
a substitutable avenue in the design and construction of neoteric
phase-transition compounds combining high Curie temperature and PL
properties.
