1. A method for X-ray scintillation, the method comprising:
irradiating a metal halide hybrid with high-energy radiation to convert the high-energy radiation to at least one of near ultraviolet light or visible light;
wherein the metal halide hybrid comprises an organic antimony halide comprising a crystal according to Formula (I)—
R2SbX5  Formula (I),
wherein X is a halide, and
wherein R is an organic ammonium cation, wherein the organic ammonium cation has a structure according to formula (IIa) or formula (IIb)—
