Light-Induced Formation of Pb3+Paramagnetic Species in Lead Halide Perovskites
Hybrid halide perovskites are soft materials processed at room temperature, revolutionary players in the photovoltaic field. Nowadays, investigation of the nature and role of defects is seen as one of the key challenges toward full comprehension of their behavior and achievement of high device stability under working conditions. We reveal the reversible generation, under illumination, of paramagnetic Pb3+ defects in CH3NH3PbI3, synthesized in ambient conditions, induced by the presence of Pb-O defects in the perovskite structure that may trap photogenerated holes, possibly mediated by the concomitant oxidation and migration of ions. According to the mechanism that we hypothesize, one charge…
Triphenylphosphane Pt(II) complexes containing biologically active natural polyphenols: Synthesis, crystal structure, molecular modeling and cytotoxic studies
Platinum complexes bearing phosphane ligands in cis configuration with deprotonated flavonoids (3-hydroxyflavone, quercetin) and deprotonated ethyl gallate were synthesized starting from cis-[PtCl2(PPh3)(2)]. In all cases, O,O' chelate structures were obtained. While quercetin and ethyl gallate complexes are quite stable in solution, the 3-hydroxyflavonate complex undergoes a slow aerobic photodegradation in solution with formation of salicylic and benzoic acids. The X-ray diffraction structures of quercetin and ethyl gallate complexes are reported. Cell cycle studies (in the dark) of the complexes in two human cell lines revealed that the cytotoxic activity of the complex bearing 3-hydroxy…
