Two new congruently melting Pb-containing halogen silicates, Pb[OPb](SiO)X (X = Cl, Br), have been synthesized using a high-temperature solution method. Their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and both compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic space group . In both structures, the mirror-symmetric bilayer composed of Pb-O polyhedra is observed for the first time in Pb-containing silicates and belongs to α-PbO derivatives and is related to the Aurivillius phase. Thermal behavior analysis, UV-vis diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy, and IR spectroscopy were also performed. The Pb[OPb](SiO)Cl matrix was doped with Eu ions as a dopant, and its potential application in fluorescence was confirmed from the resulting orange-red emission.

Lead halide perovskites have generated considerable interest in solar cell, sensor, and electronics applications. While great focus has been placed on (CHNH)PbI, an organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite, comparatively little work has been done to understand some of its existing crystal phases and analogous materials after substituting with Sn and/or other halogens in the framework. Here, first-principles density functional theory calculations are performed to comprehensively evaluate the electronic and optical properties of (CHNH)BX (B = Sn, Pb; X = F, Cl, Br, I) in a low-temperature orthorhombic phase.

Lead (Pb) is a worldwide environmental contaminant that even at low levels influences brain development and affects neurobehavior later in life; nevertheless it is only a small fraction of the neurotoxicant (NT) exposome. Exposure to environmental Pb concurrent with other NT substances is often the norm, but their joint effects are challenging to study during early life. The aim of this review is to integrate studies of Pb-containing NT mixtures during the early life and neurodevelopment outcomes of children.
