The organic-inorganic hybrid [(CH3)(3)NCH2CH2NH3]Snl(4) presents a layered perovskite structure, templated by an organic dication containing both a primary and a quaternary ammonium group. Due to the high charge density and small size of the organic cation, the separation of the perovskite layers is small and short iodine-iodine contacts of 4.19 Angstrom are formed between the layers. Optical thin-film measurements on this compound indicate a significant red shift of the exciton peak (630 nm) associated with the band gap, as compared with other Snl(4)(2-)-based layered perovskite structures.
