Abstract
En 中文
The mixed tetrahedral–octahedral (MTO) architecture, a characteristic structural motif of brownmillerite and spinel oxides, underpins the multiferroic behaviour and magnetoelectric coupling exhibited by these oxides. Yet, this structural motif remains unexplored in two-dimensional hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) that typically adopt the octahedral framework. Here we demonstrate that incorporating sterically demanding organic ligands into copper halide HOIPs stabilizes the MTO phase over the Ruddlesden–Popper phase during single-crystal growth. This approach yields a family of MTO perovskites exhibiting structural asymmetry and diverse magnetic orderings. Interestingly, (4,4-difluoropiperidinium)2CuBr4 displays concurrent ferroelectricity and intralayer antiferromagnetism. By monitoring strain-mediated phase evolution, we examine the reversible transition between the MTO and Ruddlesden–Popper phases. Our work broadens the structural diversity of 2D HOIP beyond conventional octahedral frameworks, establishing a framework for exploring emergent multiferroicity and magnetoelectric phenomena.
A family of 2D hybrid perovskites engineered with bulky organic ligands in a copper halide lattice is synthesized, demonstrating mixed tetrahedral–octahedral connectivity. These materials undergo strain-driven reversible transformation into Ruddlesden–Popper phases and exhibit structural asymmetry, leading to the coexistence of ferroelectricity and intralayer antiferromagnetism in one compound.
