Assembly and Structure-Property Relationships of Perovskite Derivatives and Lanthanide Hybrid Materials

The realm of hybrid materials encompasses an expansive range of chemical compositions and use cases. Combination of organic and inorganic species grants the resulting composite material properties that may not be achieved by the constituent components alone. Hybrid materials constitute a rich area of research owing to their use in a wide array of applications, including photovoltaic cells, scintillating materials, and light emitting diodes. Hybrid Perovskites and their derivatives may assemble by several means, including covalent bonding and/or non-covalent interactions. Lanthanide hybrid materials may assemble in a similar fashion, via a combination of coordination with organic ligands, and noncovalent interactions. A variety of non-covalent mechanisms are responsible for the assembly of these materials, which can also influence their overall physical properties. The close relationship between molecular level structure and material properties warrants scrutiny of the specific assembly mechanisms present in a given hybrid material. Both perovskites and hybrid lanthanide materials offer a platform to investigate structure-property relationships (features that arise directly from structure or molecular assembly) and use those insights to design and characterize new materials with desirable overall properties.
