Zero – dimensional (0D) hybrid organic – inorganic lead halides are receiving global attention because of their outstanding photophysical properties, tunable light emission properties, and relatively high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY). Despite these advances, the innate toxicity of lead and poor stability are obstacles for their large-scale commercialization. Here, we report a new, lead-free hybrid organic inorganic compound (C18H22N)InBr4. In this study, the organic precursor salt (C18H22NBr) was studied and compared to the hybrid compound (C18H22N)InBr4. We see a two-fold increase in the PLQY, and improved stability in the hybrid compound compared to the organic salt on its own.
