2D Perovskite Structure
« on: March 25, 2025, 23:42 »
Hello Everyone,
 I am trying to build a 2D Cs₂PbI₂Br₂ inorganic layered Ruddlesden−Popper Mixed Halide Perovskite using the crystal builder because it is not available in the database. I am using the right Wyckoff Position for each element, but I keep getting Cs₄Pb₂I₄Br₄. What am I getting wrong?

I tried replicating another structure K₂NiF₄ using all the available parameters online, instead I am getting K₄Ni₂F₈.
a =b= 4.00 Å   c= 13.00 Å
α =β = γ =  90.00 º

Wyckoff   Element   x   y   z
2a               Ni   0   0   0
4c                 F   1/2   0   0
4e                K   0   0   0.354925
4e                 F   0   0   0.153956
The bulk structure of Cs₂PbI₂Br₂ follows the K₂NiF₄-type and belongs to the tetragonal space group of I4/mmm
(no. 139) with the lattice parameters of a=b=5.6385Å, c=18.879Å inwhich the lead atomis located in the core of
 octahedron, and the corners are occupied by I and Br atoms where the out-of-planeterminal site is occupied by I atoms and the in-plane bridging site by Br atoms.

Please can anyone assist?, Thank you
