Self-referencing optical thermometry based on the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) have drawn extensive attention as a result of their high sensitivity and non-invasively fast response to temperature. However, it is a great challenge for luminescent materials to achieve simultaneously high absolute and relative temperature sensitivity based on the FIR technique. Herein, we developed a novel optical thermometer by designing hybrid lead-free metal halide (TTPhP)2MnCl4:Sb3+ (TTPhP+ = tetraphenylphosphonium cation) single crystals with multimodal photoluminescence (PL). The large TTPhP+ organic chain resulted in isolated [MnCl4]2- and [SbCl5]2- in the single crystal, which leads to a negligible energy trasfer process within them. Therefore, the two PL bands (band 1 from [MnCl4]2-) with a peak at 518 nm and band 2 (from [SbCl5]2) with a peak at 640 nm exhibit different thermal -quenching effects, which resulted in excellent temperature sensitivity, with the maximum absolute and relative sensitivities reaching 0.236 K-1 and 3.77% K-1 in a temperature range from 300 to 400 K. Both the absolute and relative sensitivities are among the highest values for luminescence thermometry.
