We monitored the infrared spectra of some cells over a few days following exposure to the metals and observed the spectroscopic changes dominated by the appearance of a strong band at 1627 cm\u22121. We used Infrared (IR) mapping to show that this change was associated with the cell itself or the cellular membrane. It is unclear whether the appearance of the 1627 cm\u22121 band and heavy metal exposure are related by a direct causal relationship. The spectroscopic response of exposure to MAPbI3 and MASnI3 was similar, indicating that it may arise from a general cellular response to stressful environmental conditions. We used 2D correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) analysis to interpret spectroscopic changes. In a novel application of the method, we demonstrated the viability of 2DCOS for band assignment in spatially resolved spectra. We assigned the 1627 cm\u22121 band to the accumulation of an abundant amide or amine containing compound, while ruling out other hypotheses. We propose a few tentative assignments to specific biomolecules or classes of biomolecules, although additional biochemical characterization will be necessary to confirm such assignments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules25020336","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,15]],"date-time":"2020-01-15T03:20:22Z","timestamp":1579058422000},"page":"336","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Infrared and 2-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy Study of the Effect of CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3SnI3 Photovoltaic Perovskites on Eukaryotic Cells"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0225-9775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luca","family":"Quaroni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, Jagiellonian University, PL-30387 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iness","family":"Benmessaoud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physics of Complex Matter, Ecole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne (EPFL), 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7527-2068","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bertrand","family":"Vileno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"POMAM Lab, Institut de Chimie de Strasbourg UMR 7177, CNRS\/UdS. 4 rue Blaise Pascal, CS 90032, 67081 Strasbourg CEDEX, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7562-2267","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Endre","family":"Horv\u00e1th","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physics of Complex Matter, Ecole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne (EPFL), 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L\u00e1szl\u00f3","family":"Forr\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physics of Complex Matter, Ecole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne (EPFL), 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6050","DOI":"10.1021\/ja809598r","article-title":"Organometal halide perovskites as visible-light sensitizers for photovoltaic cells","volume":"131","author":"Kojima","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
