Lead halide based perovskite has seen a phenomenal research interest in the last decade documenting record solar cell efficiency. Typically, 3D perovskites have been reported for optoelectronics and dilute magnetic semiconductor doping. In this talk, I will talk about dilute magnetic doping in lower dimensional 2D perovskites highlighting the superiority of the here utilized 2D perovskites. I will demonstrate the optoelectronic properties of such bulk phase 2D materials and discuss the exciton dynamics in such materials. This will be followed by highlighting the utility of main group metal halide based hybrid low dimensional perovskites with ns2 electronic configuration (Sb3+) for applications in white light sources. The mechanism of such broad band white light emission in these low D perovskites, involving self-trapped excitons and the stereo-chemical activity of the ns2 electron lone pair, will be discussed. I will conclude the talk with research outlook of our current research work highlighting the existing issues in white light emission using main group metal halide based hybrid low D perovskites
