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

Starting materials: PbI2, HI, C4H9NH2

Product: Orange-yellow sheetlike crystals

Description: Grow the crystals under slowly-cooled aqueous hydriodic acid solutions. Perform all synthetic steps and crystal manipulations after synthesis in an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Dissolve 0.534 g (1.16 mmol) of PbI2 in 2 mL of concentrated (57 wt %) aqueous HI solvent under flowing argon at 90 °C. In a separate tube, dissolve 2.32 mmol of (C4H9NH2).HI in 3 mL of concentrated HI solution and add to the metal halide solution. Ramp the solution temperature at 2 °C/h from 90 to -10 °C, filter the crystals formed under argon or nitrogen and dry in argon at 80 °C.

Method: Single crystal X-ray diffraction

Description: Select suitable single crystals in an argon-filled drybox (<1 ppm O2 and H2O) under a microscope and seal in quartz capillaries. Collect data at room temperature on an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 diffractometer with graphite-monochromatized Mo Ka radiation. Obtain unitcell parameters and the crystal orientation matrix by a least-squares fit of 25 reflections with 18° < 2θ < 30°. Monitor intensity control reflections every 5000s during the data collection. Little to no degradation was observed for the compounds. Use the NRCVAX 386 PC version program for structural solution and refinement.

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

Starting materials: PbI2; HI; C4H9NH2

Product: Orange single crystal

Description: PbI2 (0.217 g, 0.471 mmol) was dissolved in 3 ml of 47% HI in a sample vial. Thereafter, 0.074 g of C4H9NH2 (1.01 mmol) was added and the precipitate dissolved by refluxing for 2 h at 363 K. The solution was slowly cooled at 2 K h 1 to room temperature

Method: X-ray diffraction analysis

Description: Diffraction data were collected using a Bruker Apex II CCD diffractometer (Bruker, 2005) equipped with graphite-monochromated Mo Kα radiation (lambda = 0.71073 Å). For experiments conducted at non-ambient temperatures, an Oxford Cryostream 700 was employed. Data reduction and unit cell refinement were performed using SAINT-PLUS (Bruker, 2004), and space groups were determined through systematic absences analyzed with XPREP (Bruker, 2004) and further validated by refinement results. Absorption corrections based on face-indexed data were applied to all crystals using XPREP (Bruker, 2004).
