Water uptake behaviour of semiconducting glasses formed from hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites

Here we present the uptake behaviour of mechanochemically synthesised crystalline HOIPs, of the form [TAlA][M(dca)(3)] (TAlA = tetraalkylammonium, M = Mn(2+) and Fe(2+), dca = [C(2)N(3)(-)] (dicyanamide)), and their melt-quenched glassy derivatives. The semiconducting nature of these materials, alongside their response to environmentally relevant stimuli, was explored using optoelectronic techniques alongside electrochemical analyses.
