Columnar shifts as symmetry-breaking degrees of freedom in molecular perovskites

We introduce columnar shifts—collective rigid-body translations—as a structural degree of freedom relevant to the phase behaviour of molecular perovskites ABX3 (X = molecular anion). Like the well-known octahedral tilts of conventional perovskites, shifts also preserve the octahedral coordination ge...
