Résumé: 3D halide perovskites used in light emitters and PV systems exhibit an unusualanharmonicity, which is not accounted for in nowadays descriptions of phonons andelectron-phonon coupling. Therefore, the low frequency lattice vibrations andrelaxations were investigated in single crystals of the four 3D hybrid organoleadperovskites, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3, MAPbI3, and FAPbI3, at the Brillouin zone centerusing Raman and Brillouin scattering and at the zone boundary using inelasticneutron scattering. The temperature dependence of the PbX6 lattice modes in thefour compounds can be renormalized into universal curves and no soft vibration isobserved excluding a displacive-like transitional dynamics related to structural phasetransitions. The reorientational (pseudospin) motions of the molecular cations exhibita seemingly order-disorder character recalling that of plastic crystals, but attributedto a secondary order-parameter. At ultra-low frequency, a quasi-elastic componentevidenced by Brillouin scattering and associated to the unresolved central peakobserved in neutron scattering, is attributed to center of mass anharmonic motionsand rattling of the molecular cations in the perovskite cavities. 3D halide perovskitesare therefore in a very unusual situation where anharmonicity prevails. It is leading topartial, extensive and ultraslow critical and stochatic dynamics connected or not tostructural instabilities. The extensive disorder of the lattice at normal operationtemperatures for devices is similar to premelting where only long-range acousticnormal modes survive.[1] A.Létoublon, S. Paofai, B. Ruffle, P.
