Abstract
Achieving the extreme balance of the key performance requirements is the crucial to breakthrough the application bottleneck for nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Herein, by assembly of the π-conjugated [B3O6] functional species with the aid of structure-directing property of mer-isomer [YO3F3] octahedra, a new ultraviolet (UV) NLO material, Cs2YB3O6F2 with aligned arrangement of coplanar [B3O6] groups has been synthesized. The polar material exhibits the rare coexistence of the largest second harmonic generation response of 5.6×KDP, the largest birefringence of 0.091 at 532 nm, the shortest Type I phase-matching down to 200.5 nm and deep-ultraviolet transparency among reported acentric rare-earth borates with [B3O6] groups. Remarkably, benefiting from the enhanced bonding force among functional units [B3O6], a firm three-dimensional framework is constructed, which facilitates the growth of large crystals. This can be proved by a block shape crystal with dimensional of 6×5×4 mm3, indicating that it was a promising UV NLO crystal. This work provides a powerful strategy to design UV NLO materials with good performances.

Abstract
Two new Bi(III)-based sulfates, namely, Bi(SO4)F·H2O (BSOF) and Bi(SO4)(NO3)·3H2O (BSNO), have been successfully synthesized through aliovalent replacement of partial [SO4]2- groups with F- and [NO3]- anions, respectively, in the parent structure of Bi2(SO4)3. Such chemical replacement altered the coordination environment of Bi3+ cations, facilitating changes in the structure and optical properties. Notably, the birefringence values of BSOF and BSNO are found to be 4.4 and 15.5 times that of parent Bi2(SO4)3. Further investigation into the structure-property relationship revealed that the birefringence enhancement in BSOF and BSNO is attributed to the improvement of the polarizability anisotropy of Bi3+-centered polyhedra in BSOF and BSNO compared to that of Bi2(SO4)3. In addition, the existence and optimized arrangement of planar [NO3]- groups are also indispensable for further birefringence improvement of the BSNO compound.

Abstract
The latent value of nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals applied in solid-state laser equipment necessitates the development of applicable strategies for constructing noncentrosymmetric (NCS) crystals. By modulating the synthetic temperature and pressure to achieve the rearrangement of [TeO3]2- groups, a new NCS tellurium tungstate, β-K2TeW3O12 (β-KTW), with a strong second harmonic generation (SHG) response was synthesized based on its centrosymmetric polymorphic phase α-K2TeW3O12 (α-KTW). Computational calculation reveals that the large SHG response of β-KTW (15 × KH2PO4@1064 and 1.5 × KTiOPO4@1950 nm) could be attributed to the uniform arrangement of the NLO-active [TeO3]2- and [WO6]6- groups. β-KTW also exhibits enlarged birefringence (0.196@1064 nm) and a high laser damage threshold (42.3 MW cm-2), showing great potential as a nonlinear crystalline material. This work also provides a new route for the construction of NLO crystals based on centric structure, i.e., reverse pressure regulation.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202403328. [PMID: 38662352 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202403328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
Solid-state structures with the superhalogen [BO2]- have thus far only been observed with a few compounds whose syntheses require high reaction temperatures and complicated procedures, while their optical properties remain almost completely unexplored. Herein, we report a facile, energy-efficient synthesis of the first [BO2]-based deep-ultraviolet (deep-UV) transparent oxide K9[B4O5(OH)4]3(CO3)(BO2) ⋅ 7H2O (KBCOB). Detailed structural characterization and analysis confirm that KBCOB possesses a rare four-in-one three-dimensional quasi-honeycomb framework, with three π-conjugated anions ([BO2]-, [BO3]3-, and [CO3]2-) and one non-π-conjugated anion ([BO4]5-) in the one crystal. The evolution from the traditional halogenated nonlinear optical (NLO) analogues to KBCOB by superhalogen [BO2]- substitution confers deep-UV transparency (<190 nm), a large second-harmonic generation response (1.0×KH2PO4 @ 1064 nm), and a 15-fold increase in birefringence. This study affords a new route to the facile synthesis of functional [BO2]-based oxides, paving the way for the development of next-generation high-performing deep-UV NLO materials.

Abstract
Borates have garnered a lot of attention in the realm of solid-state chemistry due to their remarkable characteristics, in which the synthesis of borates with isolated [BO3] by adding rare-earth elements is one of the main areas of structural design study. Five new mixed-metal Y-based rare-earth borates, Ba2ZnY2(BO3)4, KNa2Y(BO3)2, Li2CsY4(BO3)5, LiRb2Y(BO3)2, and RbCaY(BO3)2, have been discovered using the high-temperature solution approach. Isolated [BO3] clusters arranged in various configurations comprise their entire anionic framework, allowing for optical anisotropy tuning between 0.024 and 0.081 under 1064 nm. In this study, we characterize the relative placements of their [BO3] groups and examine how their structure affects their characteristics. The origin of their considerable optical anisotropy has been proven theoretically. This study unequivocally demonstrates that even a slight alteration to borates' anionic structure can result in a significant improvement in performance.

Abstract
Herein, the first F-containing iodate-phosphate, namely Ba2Ga2F6(IO3)(PO4), was prepared via a hydrothermal reaction, in which HPF6 (70 wt% solution in water) was used as the source of both fluoride and phosphate anions for the first time. Ba2Ga2F6(IO3)(PO4) features an unprecedented 1D [Ga2F6(IO3)(PO4)]4- helix chain, composed of a 1D Ga(1)(IO3)O4F chain via the bridging of 0D Ga(2)(PO4)F5. The UV-Vis spectrum shows that Ba2Ga2F6(IO3)(PO4) has a wide bandgap with a short-UV absorption edge (4.35 eV; 253 nm). Birefringence measurement under a polarizing microscope shows that Ba2Ga2F6(IO3)(PO4) displays a moderate birefringence of 0.072@550 nm, which is consistent with the value (0.070@550 nm) obtained by DFT calculations, indicating that Ba2Ga2F6(IO3)(PO4) has potential applications as a short-UV birefringent material. This study highlights the crucial role played by the incorporation of specific functional groups into compounds, shedding light on their contribution to promising inorganic functional materials.

Abstract
Planar π-conjugated groups, like CO3, NO3, and BO3 triangles, are ideal functional units for designing birefringent materials due to their large optical anisotropy and wide band gap. The key point for designing birefringent crystals is to select appropriate functional building blocks (FBBs) and the proper arrangement mode. It is well known that the substitution strategy has proven to be a promising and accessible approach. In this work, alkali metals were chosen to regulate and control two different π-conjugated groups, CO3 and NO3, to build new compounds with large birefringence. Subsequently, three new compounds, Na3K6(CO3)3(NO3)2X·6H2O (X = NO3, Cl, Br), were successfully synthesized using the hydrothermal method. The aliovalent substitution between the [NO3]- anionic group and halogen anions [Cl]-/[Br]- has been achieved in these compounds. Na3K6(CO3)3(NO3)2X·6H2O feature the well-coplanar CO3 and NO3 groups in their crystal structure. This coplanar arrangement mode may effectively enhance the anisotropic polarizability of Na3K6(CO3)3(NO3)2X·6H2O. And their experimental birefringence can reach 0.094-0.131 at 546 nm. Diffuse reflectance spectra demonstrate that these compounds exhibit short ultraviolet (UV) absorption edges of ∼235 nm. Meanwhile, Na3K6(CO3)3(NO3)2X·6H2O also have an easily grown capacity under facile conditions. This work not only reports three new potential UV birefringent crystals but also provides a strategy to make the π-conjugated MO3 group coplanar.

Abstract
Developing high-performance infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is urgent but challenging due to the competition between NLO coefficient and bandgap in one compound. Herein, by coupling NLO-active [BS3] planar units and halide-centered polycations, six new metal thioborate halides ABa3B2S6X (A = Rb, Cs; X = Cl, Br, I) composed of zero-dimensional [XBamRbn/Csn] polycations and [BS3] units, belonging to a newA I B 3 II C 2 III Q 6 VI X VII ${\mathrm{A}}^{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{B}}_{3}^{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{C}}_{2}^{\mathrm{III}}{\mathrm{Q}}_{6}^{\mathrm{VI}}{\mathrm{X}}^{\mathrm{VII}}$ family, are rationally designed and fabricated. The compounds show an interesting structural transition from Pbcn (ABa3B2S6Cl) to Cmc21 (ABa3B2S6Br and ABa3B2S6I) driven by the clamping effect of polycationic frameworks. ABa3B2S6Br and ABa3B2S6I are the first series metal thioborate halide IR NLO materials, and the introduction of [BS3] unit effectively widens the bandgap of planar unit-constructed chalcogenides. ABa3B2S6Br and ABa3B2S6I, exhibiting wide bandgaps (3.55-3.60 eV), high laser-induced damage thresholds (≈ 6 × AgGaS2), and strong SHG effects (0.5-0.6 × AgGaS2) with phase-matching behaviors, are the promising IR NLO candidates for high-power laser applications. The results enrich the chemical and structural diversity of boron chemistry and give some insights into the design of new IR NLO materials with planar units.

Abstract
Considerable effort has been invested in the development of non-centrosymmetric (NCS) inorganic solids for ferroelectricity-, piezoelectricity- and, particularly, optical nonlinearity-related applications. While great progress has been made, a persistent problem is the difficulty in constructing NCS materials, which probably stems from non-directionality and unsaturation of the ionic bonds between metal counter-cations and covalent anionic modules. We report herein a secondary-bond-driven approach that circumvents the cancellation of dipole moments between adjacent anionic modules that has plagued second-harmonic generation (SHG) material design, and which thereby affords a polar structure with strong SHG properties. The resultant first NCS counter-cation-free iodate, VO2 (H2 O)(IO3 ) (VIO), a new class of iodate, crystallizes in a polar lattice with∞ 1 [ ${{}_{{\rm { \infty }}}{}^{{\rm { 1}}}{\rm { [}}}$ VO2 (H2 O)(IO3 )] zigzag chains connected by weak hydrogen bonds and intermolecular forces. VIO exhibits very large SHG responses (18 × KH2 PO4 @ 1200 nm, 1.5 × KTiOPO4 @ 2100 nm) and sufficient birefringence (0.184 @ 546 nm). Calculations and crystal structure analysis attribute the large SHG responses to consistent polarization orientations of the∞ 1 [ ${{}_{{\rm { \infty }}}{}^{{\rm { 1}}}{\rm { [}}}$ VO2 (H2 O)(IO3 )] chains controlled by secondary bonds. This study highlights the advantages of manipulating the secondary bonds in inorganic solids to control NCS structure and optical nonlinearity, affording a new perspective in the development of high-performance NLO materials.

Abstract
Large birefringence is a crucial but hard-to-achieve optical parameter that is a necessity for birefringent crystals in practical applications involving modulation of the polarization of light in modern opto-electronic areas. Herein, an oxyanion polymerization strategy that involves the combination of two different types of second-order Jahn-Teller distorted units is employed to realize giant anisotropy in a covalent molybdenum tellurite. Mo(H2O)Te2O7 (MTO) exhibits a record birefringence value for an inorganic UV-transparent oxide crystalline material of 0.528 @ 546 nm, which is also significantly larger than those of all commercial birefringent crystals. MTO has a UV absorption edge of 366 nm and displays a strong powder second-harmonic generation response of 5.4 times that of KH2PO4. The dominant roles of the condensed polytellurite oxyanions [Te8O20]8- in combination with the [MoO6]6- polyhedra in achieving the giant birefringence in MTO are clarified by structural analysis and first-principles calculations. The results suggest that polymerization of polarizability-anisotropic oxyanions may unlock the promise of birefringent crystals with exceptional birefringence.

Abstract
In the present work, we have successfully obtained two new UV antimony-based sulfates, NH4Sb(SO4)2 and Ca2Sb2O(SO4)4, by a conventional hydrothermal method. Interestingly, both compounds share similar structural building blocks, such as SbO4 seesaws and SO4 tetrahedra, yet they endow discrepant birefringence values measured at 546 nm with values of 0.150 and 0.114, respectively, owing to the different distortions of the SbO4 groups with SCALP electrons. Moreover, both compounds display large band gaps (4.32 and 4.43 eV, respectively), so they can be used as short-wavelength UV birefringent materials. Moreover, NH4Sb(SO4)2 is a noncentrosymmetric compound, showing a frequency doubling effect of 0.2 × KDP. Detailed structural analyses and calculations confirm the source of superior optical performance and the reasons for the different birefringence of the two compounds. This work provides ideas for the following discovery of antimony-based optical materials with excellent properties.

Abstract
To introduce a design strategy for improving optical properties, two silver-amino alkylpyridine nitrate complexes, AgC6H8N3O3 and Ag2C14H20N6O6, were successfully synthesized using a recrystallization method. By employing polarizable π-conjugated [NO3-] ions, two types of pyridine ligands, and silver cations with a high affinity for pyridine, we obtained a one-dimensional chain structure with 4-aminomethylpyridine (AgC6H8N3O3) and a zero-dimensional molecular compound by introducing a relatively flexible aliphatic chain with 4-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine (Ag2C14H20N6O6). The compounds crystallize in the triclinic crystal system with the centrosymmetric P-1 space group, exhibiting a change in orientation between the π-conjugated system and the silver ion. Despite similar optical band gaps (3.69 eV for AgC6H8N3O3 and 3.73 eV for Ag2C14H20N6O6), AgC6H8N3O3 shows higher absorption in the 350-600 nm range. Electronic structure calculations support the ultraviolet absorption findings, suggesting that charge transfer with π-conjugated systems influences birefringence. Ag2C14H20N6O6 exhibits experimental birefringence (0.261@546.1 nm) surpassing that of AgC6H8N3O3 (0.212@546.1 nm), placing it among the highest recorded values within metal-pyridine incorporating nitrate complexes. The nonconventional orientation of π-conjugated [NO3-] ions contributes to this phenomenon, enhancing the action of free π-conjugated orbitals. This design strategy for micromodulating the alignment of the π-conjugated system promises to be an effective approach for enhancing optical properties, such as birefringence.

Abstract
Exploring feasible tactics to induce the formation of non-centrosymmetric (NCS) structures, especially from centrosymmetric (CS) structures, is essential for the development of nonlinear optical crystals with more potential. An NCS alkali metal-containing molybdenum iodate hydrate, namely, NaMoO3(IO3)(H2O), was designed based on the CS matrix NaMoO3(IO3) via introducing a water molecule into the structure. The introduction of one crystalline water molecule results in the rearrangement of Λ-shaped cis-[MoO4(IO3)2] units, and the proper array of the cis-[MoO4(IO3)2] units in NaMoO3(IO3)(H2O) results in its strong SHG response of 4.6 × KH2PO4. In addition, NaMoO3(IO3)(H2O) exhibits a wider optical bandgap of 3.44 eV and a larger birefringence of 0.231 than its matrix. Furthermore, the framework of NaMoO3(IO3)(H2O) is highly similar to that of α-KMoO3(IO3), with water molecules assisting Na+ cations in occupying the position of K+. However, due to the extra hydrogen bond of water molecules, the [MoO3(IO3)]∞ layers in NaMoO3(IO3)(H2O) retain a parallel-stacking arrangement, different from the antiparallel arrangement of layers in α-KMoO3(IO3) with a centric structure. This study confirms the feasibility of applying a water molecule to adjust the orientation of basic building block units to assemble an NCS structure based on CS crystals.

Abstract
A novel zinc phosphate derivative of Sr2Be2B2O7 (SBBO), K(NH4)Zn2(PO4)2 (KNZP), featuring [Zn2P2O8]∞2- double layers akin to the [Be2B2O7]∞4- layers in SBBO, was successfully synthesized via a moderate hydrothermal method. Through the substitution of BeO4 and BO3 with ZnO4 and PO4, the issue of toxicity has been effectively resolved, while the enhanced interlayer interactions facilitated by covalent and hydrogen bonding in KNZP overcome the inherent structural instability. Notably, KNZP exhibits a wide transparent window and a moderate second-harmonic generation (SHG) intensity, reaching 0.7 times that of KH2PO4 (KDP), rendering it type-I phase-matchable, indicating that it is a promising UV nonlinear optical (NLO) material.

Abstract
Herein, three alkali metal mercury selenites, K2Hg2(SeO3)3, Rb2Hg2(SeO3)3, and Cs2Hg3(SeO3)4, were successfully obtained by a hydrothermal method. The three compounds featured same one-dimensional (1D) [HgOm(SeO3)n]∞ chain structure that consisting of distorted Hg-O polyhedra and SeO3 triangular pyramids with stereochemically active lone pair (SCALP) electrons. Interestingly, the rich coordination environment of Hg atoms and the size difference of alkali metal cations lead to diverse arrangement of SeO3 groups, which makes them exhibit different birefringence. The band gaps of the three compounds indicate that they are potential ultraviolet (UV) optical materials. Detailed theoretical calculations demonstrate that the combined effects of SeO3 triangular pyramids and Hg-O polyhedra are responsible for the optical characteristics of the reported compounds.

Abstract
Birefringent crystals can manipulate the polarization state of lasers and have vital application in polarizers, optical isolators, phase compensators, etc. The design and synthesis of crystals with large birefringence remains a challenging task. To design crystals with large birefringence, we combine an unprecedented chloroiodate(v) group (IO2Cl2)- featuring large polarizability anisotropy and a strong stereochemically active lone pair (SCALP) with the π-conjugated 2-amino-5-chloropyridine group. The superior synergy effect of (IO2Cl2)- and 2-amino-5-chloropyridine groups produces a new birefringent crystal, namely (C5H6.16N2Cl0.84)(IO2Cl2). It exhibits remarkably large birefringence of 0.67 at 546 nm, far exceeding those of most visible birefringent materials reported. This work discovers the first chloroiodate(v) group and provides a new synthetic route for birefringent materials.

Abstract
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) response and birefringence stand as fundamental optical properties for nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Up to now, engineering a strong SHG response and substantial birefringence in the sulfamate system has proven to be exceedingly challenging. A novel noncentrosymmetric compound, Sr(NH2SO3)(NO3)·H2O, has been meticulously designed by introducing the (NO3)- group characterized by significant polarizability anisotropy and hyperpolarizability into the polar non-π-conjugated (NH2SO3)- system. This compound exhibits a robust SHG response (5.2 × KDP), ample birefringence (0.077 at 546.1 nm), and a short ultraviolet (UV) absorption edge (290 nm). The linear and nonlinear optical properties can be attributed to the (NO3)- group and the (NH2SO3)- group. This study presents an effective approach that contributes to the design of more composite anionic UV NLO materials with excellent and balanced optical properties.

Abstract
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) response and birefringence are crucial properties for linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, while it is difficult to further optimize these two key properties by using a single traditional functional building block (FBB) in one compound. Herein, a novel IO4 5- unit is identified, which possesses a square-planar configuration and two stereochemically active lone-pairs (SCALPs). By combining IO4 5- and IO3 - units, the first examples of mixed-valent polyiodates featuring an unprecedented bowl-shaped I5 O12 - polymerized unit, namely (NH4 )2 (I5 O12 )(IO3 ) and K1.03 (NH4 )0.97 (I5 O12 )(IO3 ), are successfully synthesized. Excitingly, both crystals exhibit strong SHG responses (16 × KDP and 19.5 × KDP @1064 nm) as well as giant birefringence (∆nexp = 0.431 and 0.405 @546 nm). Detailed structure-property analyses reveal that the parallel aligned planar IO4 5- units induce the properly aligned high-density SCALPs, leading to strong SHG response and giant birefringence for both materials. This work not only provides two new potential NLO and birefringent crystals, but also discovers a novel promising FBB (IO4 5- ) for developing high-performance linear and nonlinear optical materials.

Abstract
High-performance bi-functional materials are in urgent demand for the next-generation integrated optical devices. In this work, we successfully synthesized the first tricyanomelaminate with bi-functional optical responses, namely Cs3C6N9•H2O (I), from its analogue Na3C6N9•3H2O by a facile ion exchange method. In contrast to Na3C6N9•3H2O, I realizes an optimal arrangement of π-conjugated (C6N9)3- anion groups in its crystal structure. As a result, the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) response is greatly enhanced from nearly zero of Na3C6N9•3H2O to ∼9.8 × KH2PO4 of I. Furthermore, I exhibits a giant linear optical anisotropic response (i.e. birefringence) of 0.52 at the wavelength of 550 nm. Both responses are almost the largest among the inorganic compounds of π-conjugated rings, which indicates that I has great potential as a bi-functional optical crystal. Structural and theoretical analyses reveal the microscopic origin of excellent optical properties. This work would attract a lot of interest to the persistently neglected potential of tricyanomelaminates as linear optical and NLO crystals.

Abstract
Atoms in special lattice sites can play a crucial role in realizing materials properties, which is long pursued but difficult to control. Herein, by adopting a stereochemically active lone-pair-containing metal substitution strategy, a nonlinear-optical (NLO) silicate crystal Li3(OH)PbSiO4 was successfully synthesized, featuring [PbSiO4]∞ layers with the perfect orientation of the stereochemically active lone-pair Pb(II) cation in the polar-axis lattice. Li3(OH)PbSiO4 overcomes the long-standing problem of silicates, that is, poor nonlinear properties because it exhibits both the largest birefringence of 0.082 and the largest phase-matchable second-harmonic-generation (SHG) efficiency of 21 × KDP among the known silicates. The successful polar-axis lattice substitution could offer a new direction for realizing the rational control of materials structures and properties.

Abstract
The combination of π-conjugated groups [NO3] and Cl-centered polyhedra generates a new birefringent crystal with a perovskite-related framework, KRb2(NO3)2Cl, which is the first alkali metal nitrate chloride synthesized by a mild hydrothermal method. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group pbam (no. 55). In addition, KRb2(NO3)2Cl crystals with dimensions up to 7 × 1.5 × 1 mm3 were grown. Notably, KRb2(NO3)2Cl has a short UV cut-off edge (below 228 nm) and a significantly enhanced birefringence (Δn = 0.084 at 1064 nm). Theoretical calculations indicate that the birefringence enhancement mainly derives from π-conjugated [NO3] plane triangles.

Abstract
The design of efficient nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals continues to pose significant challenges due to the difficulty of assembling polar NLO-active modules in an optimal additive fashion. We report herein the first NLO-active mercuric nitrates A2 Hg(NO3 )4 (A=(KHNO), Rb (RHNO)), for which assembly is induced by ionic polarization of the d10 cations. The two new crystalline compounds are isostructural, featuring interesting pseudo-diamond-like structures with parallel [Hg(NO3 )4 ] modules, and leading to strong powder second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses of 9.2 (KHNO) and 8.8 (RHNO) times that of KH2 PO4 . In combination with the simple solution preparation of centimeter-scale crystals, sufficient birefringence, and short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edges, these attributes make KHNO and RHNO promising candidates for UV NLO materials. Theoretical calculations and single-crystal structure analysis reveal that the newly-developed highly condensed and distorted [Hg(NO3 )4 ] module, with an Hg2+ cation that is quadruply bidentate nitrate-ligated, is crucial for the significant SHG responses. This work highlights the potential importance of modules with multiple bidentate ligands for the development of high-performing next-generation NLO materials.

Abstract
Birefringent crystals could modulate the polarization of light and are widely used as polarizers, waveplates, optical isolators, etc. To date, commercial birefringent crystals have been exclusively limited to purely inorganic compounds such as α-BaB2 O4 with birefringence of about 0.12. Herein, we report a new hydrogen bonded supramolecular framework, namely, Cd(H2 C6 N7 O3 )2 ⋅8 H2 O, which exhibits exceptionally large birefringence up to about 0.60. To the best of our knowledge, the birefringence of Cd(H2 C6 N7 O3 )2 ⋅8 H2 O is significantly larger than those of all commercial birefringent crystals and is the largest among hydrogen bonded supramolecular framework crystals. First-principles calculations and structural analyses reveal that the exceptional birefringence is mainly ascribed to strong covalent interactions within (H2 C6 N7 O3 )- organic ligands and the perfect coplanarity between them. Given the rich structural diversity and tunability, hydrogen bonded supramolecular frameworks would offer unprecedented opportunities beyond the traditional purely inorganic oxides for birefringent crystals.

Abstract
Two new mixed-anion cerium iodates, namely, Ce(IO3)3F and Ce(IO3)2(NO3), have been rationally designed through the integration of hybrid anionic functional building blocks (FBBs). The structure of Ce(IO3)3F features a novel [Ce(IO3)3F] bilayer, and the material exhibits large birefringence (0.225 @546 nm). The structure of Ce(IO3)2(NO3) features [Ce3(IO3)6]3+ triple layers that are further linked by planar NO3- units. Ce(IO3)2(NO3) shows a moderate SHG response (1 × KDP) and a high laser-induced damage threshold value (22 × AgGaS2). This work demonstrates that the rich coordination geometries of cerium cations facilitate tuning of the structures of related compounds through modulating anionic FBBs.

Abstract
Single crystal X-ray diffraction of iodate and bromate salts shows that the I and Br atoms in IO3 - and BrO3 - anions form short and linear O-I/Br⋅⋅⋅O contacts with the O atoms of nearby anions. Non-centrosymmetric systems are formed wherein anions are orderly aligned into supramolecular 1D and 2D networks. Theoretical evidences, namely the outcome of QTAIM and NCIplot studies, prove the attractive nature of these contacts and the ability of iodate and bromate anions to act as robust halogen bond (HaB) donors. The HaB is proposed as a general and effective assisting tool to control the architecture of acentric iodate salts.

Abstract
The borate family is the main source of deep-ultraviolet (DUV) birefringent crystals, and it has attracted a lot of attention due to versatile [B-O] basic units. Herein, two new borate-based compounds Na6Mg3B10O18F6 and K3NaB10O16F2 were discovered. Their fundamental building blocks are [B5O11] and [B5O10F] units, respectively. The calculated results showed that the band gap and birefringence of K3NaB10O16F2 (Eg = 6.93 eV, Δn = 0.047 at 1064 nm) are greater than those of Na6Mg3B10O18F6 (Eg = 5.40 eV, Δn = 0.039 at 1064 nm). Furthermore, the effects of [B-O/F] units on band gap and birefringence were analyzed by the charge-transfer model and response electron distribution anisotropy method. The results show that introducing the [B-O/F] units can improve the band gap and birefringence. These findings will boost the exploration of DUV birefringent opticals.

Abstract
Semiconductor-based X-ray detectors with low detectable thresholds become critical in medical radiography applications. However, their performance is generally limited by intrinsic defects or unresolved issues of materials, and developing a novel scintillation semiconductor for low-dose X-ray detection is a highly urgent objective. Herein, a high-quality rare-earth iodate Tm(IO3 )3 single crystal grown through low-cost solution processing is reported with a wide bandgap of 4.1 eV and a large atomic number of 53.2. The roles of IO and TmO groups for charge transport in the Tm(IO3 )3 are revealed with the structural difference between the [101] and [ 1 ¯ 01 ] $[{\bar{1}}01]$ crystal orientations. Based on anisotropic responses of material properties and detection performances, it is found that the [ 1 ¯ 01 ${\bar{1}}01$ ] orientation, the path with fewer IO groups, achieves a high resistivity of 1.02 × 1011 Ω cm. Consequently, a single-crystal detector exhibits a low dark current and small baseline drifting due to the wide bandgap, high resistivity and less ion migration of Tm(IO3 )3 , resulting in a low detection limit of 85.2 nGyair s-1 . An excellent X-ray imaging performance with a high sensitivity of 4406.6 µC Gyair -1 cm-2 is also shown in the Tm(IO3 )3 device. These findings provide a new material design perspective for high-performance X-ray imaging applications.

Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals assume an irreplaceable role in the development of laser science and technologies, yet the reasonable design of a high-performance NLO crystal remains difficult owing to the unpredictability of inorganic structures. In this research, we report the fourth polymorph of KMoO3(IO3), i.e., δ-KMoO3(IO3), to understand the effect of different packing patterns of basic building units on structures and properties. Among four polymorphs of KMoO3(IO3), the different stacking patterns of Λ-shaped cis-MoO4(IO3)2 units result in α- and β-KMoO3(IO3) featuring nonpolar layered structures, whereas γ- and δ-KMoO3(IO3) display polar frameworks. Theoretical calculations and structure analysis reveal that IO3 units can be regarded as the main source of its polarization in δ-KMoO3(IO3). Further property measurements show that δ-KMoO3(IO3) exhibits a large second-harmonic generation response (6.6 × KDP), a wide band gap (3.34 eV), and a broad mid-infrared transparency region (∼10 μm), which demonstrates that adjusting the arrangement of the Λ-shaped basic building units is an effective approach for rationally designing NLO crystals.

Abstract
The first metal carboxylate-cyanurates, namely, K(H3C3N3O3)(HCO2) (I) and Ba2(H2C3N3O3)(CH3CO2)3(H2O) (II), which contain π-conjugated carboxylate and cyanurate groups, have been synthesized by hydrothermal methods. They crystallize in centrosymmetric space groups of P1̅ and P21/n, respectively. Compound I exhibits a novel three-dimensional (3D) structure based on a [K(H3C3N3O3)]+ cationic framework with 12-membered ring (12-MR) channels, and the (HCO2)- anions are located within the 12-MR channels. The [K(H3C3N3O3)]+ cationic framework is composed of K+ ions interconnected by H3C3N3O3 ligands. Compound II features a 3D network formed by [Ba2(CH3CO2)3]+ cationic double chains bridged by (H2C3N3O3)- anions. The [Ba2(CH3CO2)3]+ cationic double chain is composed of (CH3CO2)- anions and Ba2+ ions. Optical property measurements show that both compounds exhibit short ultraviolet cutoff edges (I, 208 nm; II, 218 nm) and wide band gaps (I, 5.43 eV; II, 5.20 eV). Importantly, K(H3C3N3O3)(HCO2) (I) features a large birefringence of 0.285@532 nm due to the parallel alignment of π-conjugated H3C3N3O3 and (HCO2)- groups, indicating that K(H3C3N3O3)(HCO2) (I) is a promising short-wave ultraviolet birefringent material. Detailed theoretical calculations elucidate that their excellent optical properties originate from the synergetic effect of both types of π-conjugated groups.

Abstract
Herein, we report an unprecedented asymmetric guanidinium polyiodate, namely, C(NH2)3(I3O8)(HI3O8)(H2I2O6)(HIO3)4·3H2O (1). The title compound was obtained via the hybridization of polyiodate anions and planar π-conjugated C(NH2)3+; meanwhile, its strong second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response (2.1 × KDP, where KDP = KH2PO4) and wide band gap (3.89 eV) were mainly dominated by the synergy effect of the aforementioned structural units.

Abstract
The polarization modulation of deep-UV light is an important process that incorporates functionality to selectively respond to light-mater interaction. Typically, optical anisotropy is foremost to the use efficiency of deep-UV birefringent crystals. Herein, a new congruently melting polyborate with extremely large birefringence (Δn(001) =0.14@589.3 nm) and band gap (6.89 eV) is discovered as a high performance birefringent crystal, which breaks the current deadlock of deep-UV polyborates that usually show small birefringence. The rigid tetrahedra, including [ZnO4 ] and edge-sharing [BO4 ] tetrahedra, make all the planar [BO3 ] triangles in the lattice adopt preferential arrangement and thereby lead to an extraordinary large birefringence that is larger than all the deep-UV borates with experimentally measured values. Structural analyses with the additional theoretical calculations were used to study the origin of strong optical anisotropy in BaZnB4 O8 .

Abstract
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) is of great technological importance for applications in nonlinear optics, but it remains challenging to engineer large SHG responses in the short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV) region owing to competing microstructure requirements. Herein, we report the first examples of d0 transition-metal-based (TM-based) deep-UV-transparent nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals MOF4H2 (M = Zr (ZOF), Hf (HOF)), which exhibit unprecedented short UV absorption edges (below 190 nm). Evolving from the KTiOPO4 (KTP) structure by an isoreticular node substitution strategy, the three-dimensional frameworks of ZOF and HOF consist of corner-sharing [MO2F6] moieties that are new functional units in deep-UV NLO material design, conferring wide UV transparency and strong phase-matchable SHG response (2.2 × KH2PO4 (ZOF) and 1.8 × KH2PO4 (HOF) at 1064 nm). Such d0-TM-based [MO2F6] polyhedra preclude deleterious d-d electronic transitions, resulting in significantly blue-shifted UV absorption edges of ZOF and HOF (<190 nm). The d0-TM-based [MO2F6] polyhedra introduced in this work offer a new perspective in the construction of deep-UV transparent NLO materials, demonstrating the feasibility of an isoreticular design strategy in developing functional NLO materials.

Abstract
When the N- and O-donor ligands are combined as coligands, two noncentrosymmetric (NCS) complexes of [Ni(p-bdc)(tipa)(H2O)2]2·H2O (1) and Ni(npdc)(tipa)H2O (2) [tipa = tris[4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl]amine, p-H2bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, and H2npdc = 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid] were achieved under solvothermal conditions. For both structures, N-donor ligands are responsible for the generation of a layered structure, while the O-donor ligands are hung on the layers and are responsible for enhancing the polarity, giving rise to the NCS structures. Because of the different connection modes between the metal centers and different carboxylate ligands (p-bdc2- in 1 and npdc2- in 2), 1 and 2 show some structural differences. The p-bdc2- ligands in 1 are suspended on the upper and lower sides of the [Ni(tipa)]n layers, while all of the npdc2- ligands in 2 hang on one side of the [Ni(tipa)]n layers and point in the same direction, which makes the two NCS complexes show phase-matchable behavior with different second-harmonic-generation (SHG) responses of about 0.9 and 1.5 times that of KH2PO4 (KDP), respectively. Theoretical studies reveal that charge transfers between Ni2+ and carboxylate ligands make the dominant contribution to the optical properties. It is expected that a dual-ligand strategy may guide the design of novel superior-performing NCS complexes.

Abstract
An antimony fluoride melamine birefringent crystal, (C3N6H7)2SbF5·H2O, was obtained by introducing the π-conjugated delocalized melamine and antimony trifluoride via a simple aqueous solution evaporation method. It features one-dimensional parallel [C3N6H7]∞ chains further connected by hydrogen bonds originated from [SbF5]2- groups with lone pairs. The experimental optical band gap (4.74 eV) allows it to be used in the ultraviolet region. The first-principles calculations suggest that (C3N6H7)2SbF5·H2O exhibits a large birefringence (∼0.38@550 nm), which is twice larger than that of the commercial CaCO3 crystal. Therefore, introducing the fluoride into π-conjugated melamine may be a good tactic to obtain birefringent crystals with large optical anisotropy.

Abstract
Polarization modulation of deep-UV light is of significance to current technologies, and to this end, the birefringent crystal has emerged as an invaluable material as it allows for effective light modulation. Herein, a double-modification strategy driven by F and OH anions that makes double effects towards the critical property enhancement of deep-UV birefringent crystals is proposed. This leads to a new hydroxyborate (NH4 )4 [B12 O16 F4 (OH)4 ] with giant cluster as a deep-UV birefringent crystal with large birefringence (Δnexp. =0.12@546.1 nm). This birefringence is a record among inorganic hydroxyborates with experimentally measured birefringence. Structural analysis shows that the near-plane arrangement of [B12 O16 F4 (OH)4 ] cluster is responsible for the large optical anisotropy. Theoretical calculations indicate that its π-conjugated [BO3 ] and [BO2 OH] units are the main source of this large optical anisotropy.
