Spatial Charge Separation as the Origin of Anomalous Stark Effect in Fluorous 2D Hybrid Perovskites

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Giulia Grancini, Valentin Ianis Emmanuel Queloz, Inés Garcia Benito, Marine Eva Fedora Bouduban, Alexander Fedorovskiy

2D hybrid perovskites (2DP) are versatile materials, whose electronic and optical properties can be tuned through the nature of the organic cations (even when those are seemingly electronically inert). Here, it is demonstrated that fluorination of the orga ...
