Halide Perovskites may be mostly normal (inorganic) semiconductors and, yes, we should be careful to describe them with concepts from organic electronics. HOWEVER, it is remarkable that a material with over-all high quality optoelectronic properties can result from fast, low temperature, solution preparation. Understanding the reason(s) behind this, may help answer the question if this is because Pb is so unique or if we can generalize to find other materials like these. I will consider apparent inconsistencies in what we think we know about their defects, to zoom in on what remains special, and maybe even unique.
work done with Gary Hodes (Weizmann) and many others
