Two-dimensional-shaped CsPbBr3 platelet nanocrystals are widely studied for their bright high energy emission and self-assembly. These nanostructures are in orthorhombic phase, have a square shape, and have the vertical axis [001] perpendicular to the basal plane. Moreover, these are mostly single-crystalline structures with a continuous lattice and appear like slices of cube nanocrystals. In contrast, herein, multijunction and hexagonal single crystalline nanoplatelets of CsPbBr3 are reported to have all their vertical axes [100]. These are obtained by using the perovskite derivative of tetragonal Cs3MnBr5 as the parent material and subsequent B-site Pb(II) introduction in the presence of phenacyl bromide at different reaction temperatures. When oleylammonium bromide was added to these postsynthesized platelets, all six edges and two planar facets are transformed from flat to wavy structures. With a variation in concentration, the crest-to-crest distance of these wavy platelets are also tuned. These became possible because of the oleylammonium ions, which changed the {200}, {012} and {020} facets of orthorhombic phase of CsPbBr3 to the more compatible {110} and {002} facets simply by surface atom dissolution.  While shape modulations in ionic halide perovskite nanocrystals still face synthetic challenges, these results provide strong evidence for shape variation in these nanostructures.
