Abstract: Typically, bright excitons (XB) emit light in two-dimensional (2D) layered hybrid perovskites. There are also dark excitons (XD), for which radiative recombination is spin-forbidden. Application of a magnetic field can somewhat relax the spin-rule, yielding XD emission. Can we obtain XD light emission in the absence of a magnetic field? Indeed, we observe unusually intense XD emission at ∼7 K for (Rac-MBA)2PbI4, (Rac-4-Br-MBA)2PbI4, and (R-4-Br-MBA)2PbI4 (Rac-MBA: racemic methylbenzylammonium), which crystallize in a lower symmetry monoclinic phase. For comparison, orthorhombic (R-MBA)2PbI4 does not exhibit XD emission. XD has a lower energy than XB, with energy difference ΔE. In monoclinic samples, ΔE ∼ 20 meV is large enough to suppress the thermal excitation of XD to XB, at temperatures <30 K. Consequently, XD recombines by emitting light with a long lifetime (∼205 ns). At higher temperatures, the emission switches to the spin-allowed XB (lifetime < 1 ns)
