Recently, low-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskites acting as single-component whitelight emitting materials have attracted extensive attention, but most studies concentrate on hybrid lead perovskites. Herein, we present two isomorphic zero-dimensional (0D) hybrid cadmium perovskites, (HMEDA)CdX 4 (HMEDA = hexamethylenediamine, X=Cl (1), Br (2)), which contain isolated [CdX 4 ] 2À anions separated by [HMEDA] 2 + cations. Under UV light excitation, both compounds display broadband bluish white-light emission (515 nm for 1 and 445 nm for 2) covering the entire visible light spectrum with sufficient photophysical stabilities. Remarkably, compound 2 shows a high color rendering index (CRI) of 83 enabling it as a promising candidate for single-component WLED applications. Based on the temperature-dependent, powder-dependent and time-resolved PL measurements as well as other detailed studies, the broadband light emissions are attributed to self-trapped excitons stemming from the strong electronphonon coupling.
