Here, we demonstrate exchange of the B-site metal cation in hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskite thin films. We exchange tin in formamidinium tin triiodide (NH₂) ₂SnI_3' or FASnI₃) with lead at controllable levels, forming (CH- (NH₂)₂SnI_xPB_1-xI₃ alloys with partial substitution and fully converting the film to CH(NH₂)₂PbI₃ with a large excess of Pb²⁺. We observe no evidence for phase segregation or bilayered films, indicating that conversion is uniform throughout the film. This facile technique provides a new way to control composition independently from the crystallization processes, allowing formation of the black phase of CH(NH₂)₂PbI₃ at much lower temperatures than those previously reported while also opening the door to new morphology-composition combinations. The surprising observation that the B-site metal cations are mobile may also provide insight into the nature of transient processes in these materials, suggesting that they may be involved in ionic conduction, and will be a critical consideration for long-term stability.
