Low dimensional metal halide hybrids (2D, 1D, 0D) incorporating/doping hetero-metal halide units is of fundamental importance to understanding structure-property relationship that dictates their emergent applications in solid state lighting, scintillation and photodetection. The metal halide local site symmetry has a strong impact on their optical properties showcasing effects of electronic coupling between the constituent metal halide units. However, a clear structure-property correlation in low dimensional hybrids is unavailable. In this talk, I will highlight our current efforts on exploiting various synthetic strategies towards strongly emissive multi-metallic halide hybrids. I will present the photo-physical properties of such multi-metallic halide hybrids unravelling the operative structure-property correlation in such systems. Further, I will demonstrate chemical rationale in successfully supressing melting temperatures of low dimensional metal halide hybrids through exquisite synthetic control and showcase their melt-processability. I will conclude my talk by emphasizing the need of robust theoretical calculations and ultra-fast spectroscopy to provide insight to the observed structure-property correlation in low dimensional metal halide hybrids.
