Abstract

Bulk assemblies are provided, which may have desirable photoluminescence quantum efficiencies. The bulk assemblies may include two or more metal halides, and a wide band gap organic network. The wide band gap organic network may include organic cations. The metal halides may be disposed in the wide band gap organic network. Light emitting composite materials also are provided.

wherein X of the two or more second metal halides is selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, and I.

2. The light emitting composite material of claim 1 , wherein X of the two or more first metal halides is Br.

3. The light emitting composite material of claim 1 , wherein X of the two or more second metal halides is Br.

4. The light emitting composite material of claim 1 , further comprising a third bulk assembly in particulate form, wherein the third bulk assembly is dispersed in the matrix material, and comprises two or more third metal halides and a third wide band gap organic network, the third wide band gap organic network comprising a plurality of third organic cations, wherein the two or more third metal halides are (i) disposed in the third wide band gap organic network, and (ii) isolated from each other.

5. The light emitting composite material of claim 4 , wherein (i) the two or more third metal halides comprise a square pyramid of formula SbX 5 2− , (ii) the plurality of third organic cations comprises Ph 4 P + , and (iii) the third bulk assembly has the following formula:

(Ph 4 P) 2 SbX 5 ,

wherein X of the two or more third metal halides is selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, and I.
