Chiral multiferroicity in two-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. Nat Commun 2024; 15:5556.

Abstract
Chiral multiferroics offer remarkable capabilities for controlling quantum devices at multiple levels. However, these materials are rare due to the competing requirements of long-range orders and strict symmetry constraints. In this study, we present experimental evidence that the coexistence of ferroelectric, magnetic orders, and crystallographic chirality is achievable in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites [(R/S)-β-methylphenethylamine]2CuCl4. By employing Landau symmetry mode analysis, we investigate the interplay between chirality and ferroic orders and propose a novel mechanism for chirality transfer in hybrid systems. This mechanism involves the coupling of non-chiral distortions, characterized by defining a pseudo-scalar quantity, ξ = p ⋅ r ( p represents the ferroelectric displacement vector and r denotes the ferro-rotational vector), which distinguishes between (R)- and (S)-chirality based on its sign. Moreover, the reversal of this descriptor's sign can be associated with coordinated transitions in ferroelectric distortions, Jahn-Teller antiferro-distortions, and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya vectors, indicating the mediating role of crystallographic chirality in magnetoelectric correlations.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) afford highly versatile structure design and lattice dimensionalities; thus, they are actively researched as material platforms for the tailoring of ferroic behaviors. Unlike single-phase organic or inorganic materials, the interlayer coupling between organic and inorganic components in HOIPs allows the modification of strain and symmetry by chirality transfer or lattice distortion, thereby enabling the coexistence of ferroic orders. This review focuses on the principles for engineering one or multiple ferroic orders in HOIPs, and the conditions for achieving multiferroicity and magnetoelectric properties. The prospects of multilevel ferroic modulation, chiral spin textures, and spin orbitronics in HOIPs are also presented.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic metal hybrids with their tailorable lattice dimensionality and intrinsic spin-splitting properties are interesting material platforms for spintronic applications. While the spin decoherence process is extensively studied in lead- and tin-based hybrids, these systems generally show short spin decoherence lifetimes, and their correlation with the lattice framework is still not well-understood. Herein, we synthesized magnetic manganese hybrid single crystals of (4-fluorobenzylamine)2MnCl4, ((R)-3-fluoropyrrolidinium)MnCl3, and (pyrrolidinium)2MnCl4, which represent a change in lattice dimensionality from 2D and 1D to 0D, and studied their spin decoherence processes using continuous-wave electron spin resonance spectroscopy. All manganese hybrids exhibit nanosecond-scale spin decoherence time τ2 dominated by the symmetry-directed spin exchange interaction strengths of Mn2+-Mn2+ pairs, which is much longer than lead- and tin-based metal hybrids. In contrast to the similar temperature variation laws of τ2 in 2D and 0D structures, which first increase and gradually drop afterward, the 1D structure presents a monotonous rise of τ2 with the temperatures, indicating the strong correlation of spin decoherence with the lattice rigidity of the inorganic framework. This is also rationalized on the basis that the spin decoherence is governed by the competitive contributions from motional narrowing (prolonging the τ2) and electron-phonon coupling interaction (shortening the τ2), both of which are thermally activated, with the difference that the former is more pronounced in rigid crystalline lattices.

Abstract
Tetrachlorocuprate(II) hybrids of the three anisidine isomers (ortho-, meta-, and para-, or 2-, 3-, and 4-methoxyaniline, respectively) were prepared and studied in the solid state via X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements. Depending on the position of the methoxy group of the organic cation, and subsequently, the overall cation geometry, a layered, defective layered, and the structure comprising discrete tetrachlorocuprate(II) units were obtained for the para-, meta-, and ortho-anisidinium hybrids, respectively. In the case of layered and defective layered structures, this affords quasi-2D-layered magnets, demonstrating a complex interplay of strong and weak magnetic interactions that lead to the long-range ferromagnetic (FM) order. In the case of the structure with discrete CuCl42- ions, a peculiar antiferromagnetic (AFM) behavior was revealed. The structural and electronic origins of magnetism are discussed in detail. To supplement it, the method for calculation of dimensionality of the inorganic framework as a function of interaction length was developed. The same was used to discriminate between n-dimensional and "almost" n-dimensional frameworks, to estimate the organic cation geometry limits for layered halometallates, and to provide additional reasoning behind the observed relation between cation geometry and framework dimensionality, as well as their relation to differences in magnetic behavior.

Abstract
Chiral organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide materials have shown great potential for circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) related applications for their tunable structures and efficient emissions. Here, this work combines the highly emissive Cu4 I4 cubane cluster with chiral organic ligand R/S-3-quinuclidinol, to construct a new type of 1D Cu-I chains, namely Cu4 I4 (R/S-3-quinuclidinol)3 , crystallizing in noncentrosymmetric monoclinic P21 space group. These enantiomorphic hybrids exhibit long-term stability and show bright yellow emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) close to 100%. Due to the successful chirality transfer from the chiral ligands to the inorganic backbone, the enantiomers show intriguing chiroptical properties, such as circular dichroism (CD) and CPL. The CPL dissymmetry factor (glum ) is measured to be ≈4 × 10-3 . Time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measurements show long averaged decay lifetime up to 10 µs. The structural details within the Cu4 I4 reveal the chiral nature of these basic building units, which are significantly different than in the achiral case. This discovery provides new structural insights for the design of high performance CPL materials and their applications in light emitting devices.

Abstract
Layered hybrid halometallates represent a promising class of multifunctional materials, yet with many open challenges regarding the interaction between building blocks. In this work, we present a synthetic and analytical methodology for the efficient synthesis and structural analysis of a series of novel tetrahalocuprate(II) hybrids based on small alkylammonium cations. Observed robustness in geometrical motifs provided a platform for crystal structure determination, even from the complex laboratory powder diffraction data. The slight differences in inorganic layer geometry and severe differences in organic bilayer packing are quantified using well-established descriptors for these materials, and dependences of geometric parameters on anion and cation choice are accounted for. Temperature dependence of structural parameters for one of the tetrachlorocuprate hybrids that was chosen as a model unveils a possible geometrical origin of thermochromism in these materials.

Abstract
We report on the synthesis, structure, and photophysical properties of a lead-free organic-inorganic hybrid halide, (Piperidinium)2MnBr4 (PipMBr). It crystallizes in a monoclinic P21/n structure, with isolated MnBr4 tetrahedra representing a zero-dimensional compound. It undergoes a reversible isostructural transition at 422/417 K in the heating/cooling cycle owing to the hydrogen-bonding rearrangement mediated by ring puckering of piperidinium cations. This compound exhibits green emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 51%. Interestingly, strong electron-longitudinal optical phonon coupling with γLO of 237 meV is evidenced from the broadening of the temperature-dependent emission linewidth and the Raman spectrum. Such strong electron-phonon coupling and a relatively low Debye temperature (137 K) suggest the self-trapped exciton emission in this compound.
