System description
Dimensionality: 2D n: 1
Sample type: single crystal

Starting materials: PbI2, 47% HI, C14H29NH2, ethyl acetate

Product: yellow plate-like crystal

Description: 0.015 g PbI2 (0.104 mmol) was added into 1 mL 47% HI. Then, 0.010 g C14H29NH2 (0.047 mmol) was added to the above solution. The formed precipitation was then dissolved into 5 mL ethyl acetate. The yellow single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation over a number of days.

Method: Single crystal X-ray diffraction

Description: A Bruker Apex II CCD diffractometer with graphite-monochromated Mo-Ka radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) was used to get diffraction data. SAINT-NT16 was used to do data reduction and cell refinement. XPREP16 was used to determine space groups. WinGx17 Suite by direct methods using SHELXS9718 was used to resolve structure and the structure refinement was done by full-matrix least squares/difference Fourier techniques using SHELXL97.

System description
Dimensionality: 2D n: 1
Sample type: film

Starting materials: PbO, HI, H3PO2, tetradecylamine

Product: spin-coated thin film

Description: First step: (C14)2PbI4 single crystal flakes synthesized as follows: Slow-cooling in HI method: 2.232g (10 mmol) of PbO dissolved in glass vial containing 10 mL of HI and 1.7 mL of H3PO2. Brought to near-boiling temperature. 10 mmol of the organic amine mixed with 5 mL HI, cooled in an ice bath. Solutions were mixed and heated, then cooled to room temperature, upon which single crystal flakes form. Crystals were then washed thrice with diethyl ether and dried under a vacuum. Second step (thin film formation): Flakes were dissolved in 4:1 DMF:DMSO solvent mixture, stirred for 30 minutes. Substrate: quartz substrate with 120 nm gold layer of interdigitated fingers. Precursor solution (0.1-0.3 molar) pipetted onto substrate and then spun at 4000 rpm for 30 seconds, targeting film thickness of 80-300nm. Film was solvent-annealed, then enclosed with 2mL dH2O.

Method: Electroabsorption

Description: Films were spin-coated onto interdigitated Au electrode array - 45 micron distance between opposing fingers. Samples mounted in cryostat with Cu wires soldered to opposing electrode stripes. Xe lamp light spectrally filtered, focused on sample and subsequently on UV-enhanced Si photodiode detector. Sample transmission, substrate transmission, and sample electrotransmission were collected in independent scans.Absorbance and electroabsorbance were then calculated from the respective transmissions. The fundamental gap is determined by the crossover point of absorption curves measured under different electric fields in the fundamental band gap region.

Sample transmission, substrate transmission, and sample electrotransmission were collected in independent scans. Absorbance and electroabsorbance were then calculated from the respective transmissions. The exciton binding energy arises as the difference of the 1s exciton peak energy observed in conventional absorption and the fundamental gap as determined by the crossover point of absorption curves measured under different electric fields in the fundamental band gap region.
