Table 2.

Lattice parameters, bond distances and cell volumes obtained from optimized crystal structure of Cr-substituted MAPI perovskite (CH3NH3Pb1−xCrxI3) for the unit cell with 48 atoms (Cr@MAPI_48, x = 0.25), and two larger 96-atoms supercells: (a) with a ≈ b ≈ c (Cr@MAPI_96a, x = 0.125) and (b) 2 × 1 × 1 supercell, i.e. replicating lattice parameter a (Cr@MAPI_96b, x = 0.125).
