Researchers have developed a new class of two-dimensional perovskites, materials promising for solar cells, by using ammonium-terminated bidentate linkers to precisely tune their internal structure. This novel design results in materials with superior thermal stability and enhanced photovoltaic performance compared to existing perovskite architectures.
Why it might matter to you:
The core innovation—using a bidentate, ammonium-terminated organic linker—represents a sophisticated strategy for controlling molecular assembly and stability in hybrid materials. For a medicinal chemist, this approach to rigidifying a structure through strategic linker design could inform the development of more stable, target-specific small molecules or probes, where controlling conformation is critical for potency and selectivity.
