ABSTRACT
Developing intelligent x‐ray scintillators requires precise regulation of scintillation emission. However, the complex structural factors governing luminescence in organic–inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIMHs, A

) remain elusive, limiting their rational design. Here, guided by condensed‐matter structural chemistry, we develop an environment‐regulated crystal‐structure reconfiguration strategy that directs the same precursor system to generate three structurally distinct zero‐dimensional (0D) scintillators: (C

(Crystal 3, mixed‐ligand octahedral). Mechanistic studies reveal that [BX

] configurations determine lattice distortion and electron–phonon coupling, A–[BX

] interactions regulate lattice rigidity, and X‐site coordination environments further modulate excited‐state redistribution and radiative relaxation, establishing clear structure–scintillation relationships. The three crystals exhibit tunable green‐to‐red self‐trapped exciton (STE) emission and complementary x‐ray scintillation properties, with Crystal 2 achieving a photoluminescence quantum yield of 95.2% and an x‐ray light yield of 27 522 photons MeV

, while highly transparent Crystal 1 enables a spatial resolution of 24 lp mm

at a thickness of 0.85 mm. Furthermore, reversible stimulus‐responsive luminescence switching among these scintillators enables environmental sensing and programmable x‐ray imaging. This work provides a structural chemistry strategy for understanding STE emission in 0D OIMHs and designing reconfigurable scintillators toward intelligent x‐ray imaging.
