Let us start this Editorial with a clarification: Organohalide perovskites are not organometallic compounds. As per the IUPAC definition (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry), organometallic compounds are defined as “compounds having bonds between one or more metal atoms and one or more carbon atoms of an organic group”. 1 Thus, one should not refer to methylammonium lead halides (MAPbX3) as organometallic perovskites because no metal− carbon bond exists in these compounds. Considering also the fully inorganic perovskites, for example, CsPbX3, one should probably generically refer to the broader materials class simply as metal-halide perovskites
