The halide double perovskite family represented by A₂(B⁺,B³⁺)X₆ can overcome the lead toxicity and enable generally large band gap engineering via B/B sites’ transmutation or exotic dopants to fulfill the emerging applications in the optoelectronic fields. Herein, the design and the experimental synthesis of a new family of Mn²⁺-doped Cs₂NaBi_1-xIn_xCl₆ crystals with an intense orange-yellow emission band are reported, and the phase formation stability is discussed via a combined experimental–theoretical approach. Depending on the manipulation of Bi³⁺/In³⁺ combination, the band gap increases with In³⁺ content, and a subsequent evolution from indirect to direct band gap is verified. First-principles calculations and parity analyses indicate a parity forbidden effect on Cs₂NaInCl₆, and a combination effect of absorption on Cs₂NaBi_1-xIn_xCl₆ from both Cs₂NaBiCl₆ and Cs₂NaInCl₆. The associated Mn²⁺-doped photoluminescence depending on the Bi³⁺/In³⁺ substitution is also addressed from the variation of the different Mn–Cl environment and neighboring-cation effect.
