I. Experimental Section 1. Materials. Commercially available compounds PbCl2 (Aldrich), PbBr2 (Aldrich), PbI2 (Aldrich), HCl (36% in water, Aldrich), HBr (48% in water, Aldrich), HI (57% in water, Aldrich), CH3NH2 (40% in methanol, TCI), CH3(CH2)7NH2 (octylamine; OA, 99% Aldrich), and C17H34=CH2 (1octadecene; ODE, 90% Aldrich) were used without further purification. 2. Synthesis 2.1. Methylammonium halides (CH3NH3X, MAX, where X = Cl, Br, I): CH3NH3Br, CH3NH3Cl, and CH3NH3I were prepared by treating aqueous solutions of methylamine (CH3NH2) with the corresponding hydrogen halides, followed by recrystallization. CH3NH2 (0.27 mmol, 28 mL) and HBr (0.23 mmol, 26 mL) [or HI (0.23 mmol, 30 mL) or HCl (0.23 mmol, 23 mL)] were mixed and stirred for 2 h in an ice bath, followed by evaporation and recrystallization in an oil bath at 50–60 °C. In all cases, the precipitate was washed several times with diethyl ether, dried under vacuum, and used without further purification. 2.2. MAPbBr3: Two milliliters of ODE was stirred and heated at 80 °C (in an oil bath), and octylamine (17 µL, 0.1 mmol) was added. Next, MABr (11.2 mg, 0.1 mmol dissolved in 0.1 mL DMF) and PbBr2 (36.7 mg, 0.1 mmol dissolved in 0.1 mL DMF) were added, affording a yellow dispersion from which the nanoparticles were immediately precipitated by the addition of acetone followed by centrifugation (7000 rpm, 10 min). Finally, the MAPbBr3 nanocrystals were dispersed in toluene. They have a plate type morphology with an average length of 70 nm. For the reduced size of nanocrystals, oleylamine was used instead of octylamine and the size was controlled using the amount of oleylamine; the average length becomes 20, 10, and 5 nm for 2, 4, and 6 mmol of oleylamine. 2.3. Exchange reaction of MAPbBr3: MACl or MAI dissolved in isopropyl alcohol (IPA; 10 mL) was mixed with MAPbBr3 nanocrystals (0.04 mmol) in 2 mL toluene. Following table lists the quantities of MACl, MAI, and MAPbBr3 used for composition control. The Br exchange reaction time was 5–120 min. After the reaction, the NC products were precipitated by centrifugation of the reaction mixture. The NC precipitates were washed with IPA and dispersed in toluene for further characterization of their structure and composition.

3. Characterization. The products were analyzed by field-emission transmission electron microscopy (TEM, Jeol JEM 2100F and FEI TECNAI G2 200 kV), high-voltage TEM (HVEM, Jeol JEM ARM 1300S, 1.25 MV), and energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDX). High-resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were obtained using the 9B and 3D beam lines of the Pohang Light Source (PLS) with monochromatic radiation (λ=1.54595 Å). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed using the 8A1 beam line of the PLS and a laboratory-based spectrometer (ESCALAB 250, VG Scientifics) using a photon energy of 1486.6 eV (Al Kα). For steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence studies, samples were excited by the second harmonic (355 nm, 400 nm) or fundamental (710 nm) of a cavity-dumped oscillator (Mira/PulseSwitch, Coherent, 31.25 kHz, 150 fs). Emission was collected using the lens, spectrally resolved using a monochromator (Sciencetech 9055, Sciencetech), detected using a photomultiplier (PMA-182-P-M, PicoQuant), and recorded using a time-correlated single photon counter (PicoHarp300, PicoQuant). 4. Photocurrent Measurement. The Ti (20 nm)/Au (80 nm) electrode structure was deposited onto a Si substrate by photolithography with a 1 µm thick SiO2 layer by sputtering using a patterned mask. The gap between the electrodes was 2 µm. A spin coater was used to deposit the NCs (dispersed in toluene) as a film between the electrodes. The thickness was controlled to be in the range of 1–10 µm. We tested the devices on the probe station with parametric test equipment (Agilent E5270A) at room temperature. A light-emitting diode (Mightex S3
System LEDs, 365, 505, and 617 nm, 150-200 mW) was used as the light source. 5. Computation Methods. The geometric optimization and total energy calculation were done using the Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP).S1,S2 Electron-ion interactions were described by the projector-augmented wave (PAW) method,S3 which is essentially a frozen-core all-electron calculation. The van der Waals interaction was estimated through the PBE-D2 calculation, which empirically includes these interactions using Grimme’s approach.S4 In most cases, our supercell consisted of 1×1×1 primitive cell. However, 2×2×2 supercell was employed for MAPbX2Y1, where two X ions cannot be placed at proper sites of a primitive cell. For example, in T-ae configuration of MAPbBr2Cl, two Br can be placed on different sites only when the supercell enlarges. When 2×2×2 supercell was employed, one Br can be placed at an axial site along the c axis with respect to the Pb, while the other Br can be placed at an equatorial site along the a or b axis, The k-point sampling was done using 8×8×8 - 13×13×13 points depending upon the size of the supercell.

Stoichiometry of atoms in each primitive cell. Primitive cells are derived from more than one primitive cells of
MAPbX3 depending upon the system. For example, the primitive cells of TS configurations of MAPbBr3-xIx basically consisted of
2 × 2 × 2 primitive cells of MAPbBr3, by substituting appropriate number of Br
atoms with I atoms.

III. Supporting Figures Figure S1. (a) XRD pattern of MAPbBr3−xClx NCs over the full 2θ range, where x = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3, synthesized by the exchange reaction of MAPbBr3. (b) (200)C and (c) (210)C peaks in a magnified scale. The peaks of the MAPbCl3 and MAPbBr3 were indexed using the references: a = 5.675 Å for C-phase MAPbCl3; a = 5.90 Å for C-phase MAPbBr3. As x increases, the peaks shift from those of MAPbBr3 to those of MAPbCl3. The (200)C and (210)C peaks were well fitted to a Voigt function. We determined the particle size (d) using the Scherrer equation; d = 0.9λ/βcosθ, where β is the full-width at half-maximum, and θ is the Bragg angle.

Figure S3. EDX spectra of MAPbBr3−xClx (x = 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2.0) and MAPbBr3−xIx (x = 0.5, 1, and 2). The corresponding scanning TEM (STEM) images are shown in the inset. The composition was calculated using the Pb L shell, Cl K shell, Br K, and I L shell peaks.

PL decay curves of MAPbBr3 upon excitation at (a) 355 nm (0.05, 0.25, and 2.5 µJ/cm2) and (b) 400 nm (0.05, 0.25, and 0.5 µJ/cm2) in toluene; MAPbI3 upon excitation at (c) 355 nm (0.05, 0.25, and 2.5 µJ/cm2) and (d) 710 nm (0.25, 0.5 and 2.5 µJ/cm2) in toluene.

For example, in the TS-ae(1-3) configuration of MAPbBr2I, two Pb cations are coordinated with twelve anions (eight Br and four I), two of four I are located at axial sites, while other two I are located at equatorial sites. In the TS-aa configuration, all I are located at axial sites. Other configurations of the organic backbone are possible, but the corresponding band gap is quite different from the reference value.

IV. Snapshots of Movie S1 (total time is 1 min, 30X of 30 min movie) Snapshots were taken for 0, 0.5, 1, 5, 15, and 30 min, for the exchange reaction of MAPbBr3 → MAPbI3; MAPbBr3 → MAPbCl3; MAPbCl3 → MAPbI3; MAPbCl3 → MAPbBr3. We prepared the MAPbBr3 film on ITO substrate (1 cm × 1 cm) with a thickness of 10 µm, and each piece was immersed in 0.1 M MAI and MACl dissolved IPA solution (5 mL). The time taken for the complete change into MAPbI3 and MAPbCl3 is about 5 min and 30 min, respectively. The MAPbCl3 film (prepared by the exchange reaction of MAPbBr3 → MAPbCl3) was immersed in 0.1 M MAI and MABr dissolved IPA solution to produce the MAPbI3 and MAPbBr3, respectively. The time takes about 1 min and 30 min, respectively.
