Abstract

A one-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite material [3.3.0-dabco]PbBr3 (1) was synthesized by the reaction of 1,5-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (3.3.0-dabco) with PbBr2 in concentrated HBr aqueous solution. Differential scanning calorimetry, dielectric measurements, and variable-temperature structural analyses revealed that compound 1 exhibits two successive structural phase transitions from P212121 to Pbcm at 387 K (T1) and then to P6/mmc at 436 K (T2), accompanied by two pairs of dielectric anomalies with a clear one at T1 and an unobvious one at T2. In addition, compound 1 shows a robust second harmonic generation (SHG) effect between SHG-OFF and SHG-ON states during its centrosymmetric to non-centrosymmetric symmetry breaking phase transition at T1.
