Starting materials: PbBr2(98%), hexamethylenimine (98%), hydrobromic acid (ACS reagent, 48%)
Product: Colorless crystals
Description: Dissolve 1.10 g (3 mmol) of PbBr2 in 4 mL of HBr under heating and stirring at 122 °C (A). Add 1 mL of HBr into a separate vial of hexamethylenimine (297 mg, 3 mmol). Add the protonated hexamethylenimine solution into A under heating for 2 min and cool to room temperature.
Method: Single-crystal X-ray diffraction
Description: Data were collected using either Bruker DUO or Molly instrument with a Mo Kα IμS microfocus source (λ = 0.71073 Å) with MX Optics at 250 K. Post-processing using APEX3 software and OLEX2 program package.

Method: Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy
Description: First, perform optical diffuse reflectance using a Shimadzu UV-3600 UV−vis−NIR spectrometer operating in the 200−1000 nm region. Convert reflectance to absorption according to the Kubelka−Munk equation to estimate the band gap.
Comment: Refer to Table 1.

Method: Steady-state photoluminescence
Description: Excite with 330 nm photons produced from an optical parametric amplifier, which is pumped by a Ti:sapphire amplifier with 800 nm output at 2 kHz repetition rate. Time-integrated photoluminescence spectra were captured with a CCD camera; time-resolved PL spectra were captured with a streak camera.
