Abstract
The rare examples of discrete anionic halobismuthates(III) with group 11 elements were obtained. Those are (3-MePyH)6[Bi4Cu2I20] (1) and (3,5-MePyC6)3[BiAgI7]2 (2) (3-MePyH = 3-methylpyridinium cation, 3,5-MePyC6=1,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyridinium)hexane dication). Both complexes were isolated as pure phases; the optical band gaps for 1 and 2 are 1.75 and 2.23 eV, respectively.

Abstract
Reactions of BiI3/CuI mixtures with tetrahydrothiophene (THT) in toluene produce 2-D sheet networks BiCu3I6(THT)n (n = 2, 3, or 4), depending on reaction conditions. All three structures are based on BiI6 octahedra, which share pairs of (μ2-I)2 with Cu3(THT)n units. BiCu3I6(THT)2 features Cu2(μ2-I)2 rhombs with close Cu···Cu interactions and is accompanied by formation of the very complex HBi3Cu12I22(THT)8. Reactions of SbI3/CuI with THT in toluene produced a SbCu3I6(THT)2 network shows Cu3(μ2-THT)2 units, like its Bi congener, but Cu6(μ2-I)6 barrels rather than rhombs. Isolated SbI3 units are stacked above the Cu6I6 barrels. A molecular compound, Sb3Cu3I12(THT)6 consists of a face-sharing Sb3I12 stack, in which the Cu-THT units are bonded in asymmetric fashion about the central SbI6. Metal-halide bonds were investigated via QTAIM and NLMO analyses, demonstrating that these bonds are largely ionic and occur between the Bi/Sb and I p orbitals. Hirshfeld analysis shows significant H···H and H···I interactions. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) reveals band edges for the Bi species of 1.71-1.82 eV, while those for the neutral Sb complexes are in the range of 1.94-2.06 eV. Mapping of the electronic structure via density of state calculations indicates population of antibonding Bi/Sb-I orbitals in the excited state.

Abstract
We have synthesized and characterized two novel lead-free organic-inorganic hybrid crystals: (S(CH3)3)3[Bi2I9] (TBI) and (S(CH3)3)3[Sb2I9] (TSI). Thermal DSC, TG, and DTA analyses indicate structural phase transitions (PTs) in both compounds; TBI undergoes two structural phase transitions at 314.2/314.8 K (cooling/heating) and at 181.5 K of first (I ↔ II) and second order (II ↔ III), respectively. The crystal structures of TBI are refined for phases I (325 K), II (200 K) and III (100 K). TBI exhibits ferroelastic properties since both PTs are accompanied by a change in the symmetry of crystals: P63/mmc → C2/c (I → II) and C2/c → P1̄ (II → III). The presence of a ferroelastic domain structure has been confirmed by optical observations. In turn, TSI also reveals two PTs: I ↔ II (at 303.9/304.1 K) and II ↔ III (212.9/221.4 K). To compare and obtain insight into the mechanism of the PTs of TBI, we have carried out temperature dependent single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Additionally, to confirm the change in the dynamical states of molecules in PTs, dielectric measurements have been carried out between 100 K and 400 K in the frequency range of 200 Hz to 2 MHz. Moreover, the measurements of the 1H NMR spin-lattice relaxation time, T1, and a second moment, M2, of the 1H NMR line have been undertaken in the temperature range between 100 and 300 K.

Abstract
Bismuth(III) iodide perovskites have attracted great attention as lead-free hybrid semiconductors, but they mainly show zero- and one-dimensional structures. Herein, we report the first two-dimensional chiral perovskite-like bismuth(III) iodide hybrid [(S)-3-aminopyrrolidinium I]2Bi2/3I4 (1) with a high phase transition temperature of 408.8 K, higher than most of the reported chiral lead-free hybrid semiconductors.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic iodides based on Bi(III) and Sb(III) provide integrated functionalities through the combination of high dielectric constants, semiconducting properties and ferroic phases. Here, we report a pyrrolidinium-based bismuth (1) and antimony (2) iodides of (NC4H10)3[M2I9] (M: Bi(III), Sb(III)) formula which are ferroelastic at room temperature. The narrow band gaps (~2.12 eV for 1 and 2.19 eV for 2) and DOS calculations indicate the semiconducting characteristics of both materials. The crystal structure consists of discrete, face-sharing bioctahedra [M2I9]3- and disordered pyrrolidinium amines providing charge balance and acting as spacers between inorganic moieties. At room temperature, 1 and 2 accommodate orthorhombic Cmcm symmetry. 1 displays a complex temperature-induced polymorphism. It is stable up to 525 K and undergoes a sequence of low-temperature phase transitions (PTs) at 221/222 K (I ↔ II) and 189/190 K (II ↔ III) and at 131 K (IV→III), associated with the ordering of pyrrolidinium cations and resulting in Cmcm symmetry breaking. 2 undergoes only one PT at T = 215 K. The dielectric studies disclose a relaxation process in the kilohertz frequency region, assigned to the dynamics of organic cations, described well by the Cole-Cole relation. A combination of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, synchrotron powder diffraction, spin-lattice relaxation time of 1H NMR, dielectric and calorimetric studies is used to determine the structural phase diagram, cation dynamics and electric properties of (NC4H10)3[M2I9].

Abstract
Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors feature higher sensitivities and faster response speeds and thereby have particular applications in many fields. However, current NTC thermistors are mostly based on inorganic ceramic materials, which show obvious drawbacks in material synthesis, property modulation, and flexible film fabrication. Herein, we report, for the first time, the promising application of an inorganic-organic hybrid NTC thermistor. A new lead-free hybrid iodo bismuthate [1,1',1″-(benzene-1,3,5-triyl)tris(3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium)]Bi2I9 [denoted as (Me3TMP)Bi2I9] was synthesized by a "double-free" strategy. (Me3TMP)Bi2I9 features a lead-free binuclear bismuth iodine anion charge compensated by a "classic hydrogen-bond-free" cation. (Me3TMP)Bi2I9 exhibits remarkable stability in water and UV light irradiation and shows the largest temperature sensitivity coefficient among all reported NTC materials. Theoretical calculation and detailed structural analysis disclose that the seriously distorted (BiI6) octahedra are responsible for the intriguing NTC effect for (Me3TMP)Bi2I9.

Abstract
Crystals with significant length reduction at an accessible low pressure are highly desirable for piezo-responsive devices. Here, we show a molecular crystal [Ni(en)3](ox) (en = ethylenediamine and ox = oxalate anion) that exhibits an abrupt shape change with a contraction rate of ∼4.7% along its c axis near the phase transition pressure of ∼0.2 GPa. High-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy measurements reveal that this material undergoes a first-order ferroelastic transition from high-symmetry trigonal P3̅1c to low-symmetry monoclinic P21/n at ∼0.2 GPa. The oxalate anions serve as unique components, and their disorder-order transformation and rotation of 90° through cooperative intermolecular hydrogen bonding triggered unconventional anisotropic microsize contraction under compression, which can be appreciated visually. Such a prominent directional deformation at a low pressure driven by molecular motors of oxalate anions provides insights for the design of novel molecular crystal-based piezo-responsive switches and actuators in deep-sea environments.

Abstract
Nine heterometallic iodobismuthates with the general formula Cat2{[Bi2M2I10}] (M = Cu(I), Ag(I), Cat = organic cation) were synthesized. According to X-ray diffraction data, their crystal structures consisted of {Bi2I10} units interconnected with Cu(I) or Ag(I) atoms through I-bridging ligands, forming one-dimensional polymers. The compounds are thermally stable up to 200 °C. Optical band gaps (Eg), estimated at room temperature via diffuse reflectance measurements, range from 1.81 to 2.03 eV. Thermally induced changes in optical behavior (thermochromism) for compounds 1-9 were recorded, and general correlations were established. The thermal dependence of Eg appears to be close to linear for all studied compounds.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have attracted intense interests due to their quantum well structure and tunable excitonic properties. As an alternative to the well-studied divalent metal hybrid perovskite based on Pb2+, Sn2+ and Cu2+, the trivalent metal-based (eg. Sb3+ with ns2 outer-shell electronic configuration) hybrid perovskite with the A3M2X9 formula (A = monovalent cations, M = trivalent metal, X = halide) offer intriguing possibilities for engineering ferroic properties. Here, we synthesized 2D ferroelectric hybrid perovskite (TMA)3Sb2Cl9 with measurable in-plane and out-of-plane polarization. Interestingly, (TMA)3Sb2Cl9 can be intercalated with FeCl4 ions to form a ferroelastic and piezoelectric single crystal, (TMA)4-Fe(iii)Cl4-Sb2Cl9. Density functional theory calculations were carried out to investigate the unusual mechanism of ferroelectric-ferroelastic crossover in these crystals.
