This dataset underpins the following article published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters: "The Impact of Spacer Size on Charge Transfer Excitons in Dion-Jacobson and Ruddlesden-Popper Layered Hybrid Perovskites" DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpclett.3c01125 The dataset contains steady state absorption (UV/Vis), transient absorption (TA) and electroabsorption (EA) data acquired from experiments on 2D perovskites incorporating different organic spacers. The dataset also includes data acquired from temperature dependent measurements. The transient absorption data has been treated using a home-written matlab script in order to correct for the chirp.
