Abstract Hybrid perovskites have potential applications in several electrochemical devices such as supercapacitors, batteries, and fuel cells. However, despite various potential applications, there have been limited studies on compounds containing Cd. Therefore, in this study, the structures and phase transition temperatures TC of organic–inorganic perovskite [NH3(CH2)nNH3]CdCl4 (n=2, 3, and 4) were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and DSC experiments. The thermal stabilities obtained by TGA and DTA results were considered as a function of the length n of the CH2 groups in the cation. In addition, structural characteristics and molecular dynamics of the cation and anion near TC were studied by 1H MAS NMR, 13C MAS NMR, 14N static NMR, and 113Cd MAS NMR experiments. From these results, regardless of whether n is even or odd, the differences in thermal and physical properties were minimal. Rather, the difference in molecular motion relative to the length of the cation was seen only at higher temperatures. These results provide insights into the thermal stability and molecular dynamics of [NH3(CH2)nNH3]CdCl4 crystals and are expected to facilitate potential applications.

We study the "folding" behaviors of homopolymers with one end fixed. By using canonical ensemble molecular dynamics simulation method, we observe the conformational changes during folding processes. Long chains collapse to the helical nuclei, then regroup to helix from the free-end to form the compact conformations through the middle stages of helix-like coil and helix-like cone, while short chains do not apparently have the above mentioned middle stages. Through simulated annealing, the native conformation of homopolymer chain in our model is found to be helix. We show the relations between specific heat C v (T) and radius of gyration R g (T) as functions of temperature, chain length and the interaction strength, respectively. We find that these two quantities match well and can be combined to interpret the "folding" process of the homopolymer. It is found that the collapse temperature Tθ and the native-like folding temperature T f do not change with the chain length in our model, however the interaction strength affects the values of Tθ and T f .
