Abstract
By introducing the d0 metal cation Mo6+ into phosphates, two new molybdophosphates, K2MgMoP2O10 and K3Mg2MoP3O14, were synthesized by spontaneous crystallization, and their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. K2MgMoP2O10 shows a two-dimensional layer composed of the uncommon eight-membered ring [Mo2P2O16] formed by [MoO6] and [PO4], while K3Mg2MoP3O14 shows isolated [MoP3O14] clusters composed of [MoO5] and [PO4]. K2MgMoP2O10 and K3Mg2MoP3O14 have UV cut-off wavelengths of 277 and 271 nm, respectively, which are significantly shorter than those of most recently published molybdophosphates. To the best of our acknowledge, K2MgMoP2O10 exhibits the largest birefringence (a calculated value of 0.187 at 546 nm) among reported alkali metal or alkaline earth metal molybdophosphates, which provides a way to explore new birefringent materials. First-principles analysis of the electronic structure shows that the large birefringence of K2MgMoP2O10 mainly originates from the [MoO6] units.

Abstract
Phosphates, whose obvious disadvantage is the relatively small birefringence, can be overcome by the introduction of post-transition metal cations containing stereochemically active lone-pair electrons. In this paper, two new compounds were successfully explored in the A-Sb-P-O system, i.e. Cs2Sb3O(PO4)3 (CsSbPO) and (NH4)2Sb4O2(H2O)(PO4)2[PO3(OH)]2 (NH4SbPOH). Transmission spectra show that CsSbPO has a surprising transmission range with a UV cutoff edge of 213 nm. First-principles calculations show that both compounds have a wide band gap (5.02 eV for CsSbPO and 5.30 eV for NH4SbPOH) and enlarged birefringence (Δn = 0.034@1064 nm for CsSbPO and Δn = 0.045@1064 nm for NH4SbPOH). The results of real-space atom-cutting investigations show that the distorted [SbOx] polyhedra originating from the asymmetric lone pair electrons give the main contribution to the total birefringence and overcome the disadvantage of small birefringence of phosphates but maintain wide transition windows.

Abstract
Borates provide an excellent platform for investigating the optical nonlinearity and linearity of crystals as photoelectric functional materials. In our work, borate derivatives with isolated [B3O3] six-membered rings as structural features are the preferred system due to their simple functional units and excellent properties. Herein, by utilizing the target-oriented synthesis, a series of borate derivatives, A2[B3O3F4(OH)] (A= NH4, Rb, Cs) (ABOFH), K2.3Cs0.7B3O3F6 (KCsBOF), and Cs3[B3O3(OH)3]Cl3 (CsBOHCl), with novel heteroanionic groups containing [BOxF4-x] (x = 0-3) and/or [BO2(OH)] units were obtained. ABOFH, KCsBOF, and CsBOHCl construct different two-dimensional pesudolayers featuring [B3O3F4(OH)], [B3O3F6], and [B3O3(OH)3] units, respectively. Also, the optical properties and the arrangement information of these anionic groups were studied. Among the total five compounds, (NH4)2[B3O3F4(OH)] and Cs3[B3O3(OH)3]Cl3 with enlarged birefringence and sufficient band gaps were screened out as promising birefringent crystals due to the optimally aligned configuration of birefringence-active heteroanionic units. The successful results of target-oriented synthesis indicate a more profound conclusion that the borate system now has more diversified structural chemistry, and an effective strategy was proposed to modify the arrangement and species of anionic units to optimize the performance of optical crystals.

Abstract
A fluoroborophosphate, BaB2P2O8F2, was successfully obtained. Its structure contains a novel [B2P2O8F2]∞ layer containing six-membered rings, which is formed by the fundamental building block composed of three types of non-π-conjugated groups, [PO4], [BO4], and [BO2F2]. BaB2P2O8F2 has a deep-ultraviolet (DUV) cutoff edge (λ < 200 nm) and a tiny birefringence (Δn = 0.007 at 532 nm), which originates from the constituent non-π-conjugated groups. The title compound enriches the versatility of the fluoroborophosphates, encouraging further research into DUV materials in fluoroborophosphate systems.

Abstract
The design of new birefringent materials is very significant owing to their indispensable role in modulating the polarization of light and is vital in laser technology. Herein, by applying a large optical anisotropy-oriented construction induced by a synergy effect of multiple anionic groups, a promising carbonate-nitrate chloride, Na3Rb6(CO3)3(NO3)2Cl·(H2O)6, has been designed and synthesized successfully by the solvent evaporation method and single crystals of centimeter size were obtained by the recrystallization method in aqueous solution. It crystallizes in the hexagonal P63/mcm space group, the RbO9Cl polyhedra and the NaO7 polyhedra construct a three-dimensional (3D) framework by sharing O or Cl atoms and trigonal plane units (CO3 and NO3). The transmittance spectrum based on a 1 mm thick single-crystal plate shows that its short UV cut-off edge is about 231 nm. And the refractive index differences (0.14 @ 546 nm) measured by using a polarizing microscope on the (101) crystal plane, proves that Na3Rb6(CO3)3(NO3)2Cl·(H2O)6 has a large birefringence, which has potential application in the solar blind ultraviolet region. The theoretical calculations reveal that the π-conjugated CO3 and NO3 groups are the main cause of the birefringence. It demonstrates that combining π-conjugated CO3 and NO3 groups in one structure is an extremely effective strategy to explore new UV birefringent crystals.

Abstract
A new sodium hydroxyfluorooxoborate, NaB3O4F(OH) (NBOFH), was discovered and synthesized. NBOFH features the unprecedented [B3O4F(OH)] infinite chain constructed by the novel fundamental building block (FBB) of [B3O5F(OH)]. NBOFH has a large birefringence of 0.097 at 1064 nm and short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge below 200 nm. First-principles calculations and response electron distribution anisotropy (REDA) were performed to explain the structure-property relationships. This work provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of deep-ultraviolet birefringent crystals and enriches the structural diversity of the emerging hydroxyfluorooxoborates.

Abstract
Two new borogermanate/borosilicate fluorides, namely, NaBa3[M2B7O16(OH)2]F2 (M = Ge, Si), have been successfully synthesized through a conventional mild hydrothermal method. They represent the first examples of mixed alkali and alkaline-earth borogermanate/borosilicate fluorides. NaBa3[M2B7O16(OH)2]F2 (M = Ge, Si) crystallize in the space group of C2/c, and their structures feature a unique 3D anionic framework composed of [B7O16(OH)2]13- polyanions corner-sharing with SiO4 or GeO4 tetrahedra, forming 1D 10-membered-ring tunnels along the b axis, which are filled by Na+, Ba2+, and F- ions. UV-vis-near-IR absorption spectra identify the title compounds possessing short deep-ultraviolet absorption edges (below 200 nm), while their birefringences were calculated to be 0.021 and 0.016 at 1064 nm, respectively. Optical property, thermal stability, and theoretical calculations have also been conducted on NaBa3[M2B7O16(OH)2]F2 (M = Ge, Si).

Abstract
Deep-ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals that can extend the output range of coherent light below 200 nm are pivotal materials for solid-state lasers. To date, KBe2BO3F2 (KBBF) is the only usable crystal that can generate DUV coherent light by direct second harmonic generation (SHG), but the layered growth habit and toxic ingredients limit its application. Herein, we report a new fluoroborophosphate, (NH4)3B11PO19F3 (ABPF), containing four different functional units: [BO3], [BO4], [BO3F] and [PO4]. ABPF exhibits a KBBF-like structure while eliminating the limitations of KBBF crystal. The unique [B5PO10F]∞ layers enhance ABPF’s performance; for example, it has a large SHG response (1.2 × KDP) and a sufficient birefringence (0.088 at 1064 nm) that enables the shortest phase-matching wavelength to reach the DUV region. Meanwhile, the introduction of strong B-O-P covalent bonds decreases the layered growth habit. These findings will enrich the structural chemistry of fluoroborophosphate and contribute to the discovery of more excellent DUV NLO crystals.

Abstract
Inorganic planar π-conjugated groups are advantageous to generate large birefringence in optical functional materials, and many excellent materials contain CO3, BO3 or B3O6, such as CaCO3, α/β-BaB2O4 (α/β-BBO), and KBe2BO3F2 (KBBF). In view of their microscopic structures, the common characteristics are the planar structures, which are regarded as birefringence-enhanced fundamental modules (FMs). Nowadays, exploring novel birefringence-enhanced FMs is becoming a burning issue. Herein, we investigated the birefringence-enhanced FMs in B–N systems and found that the BN2 linear unit could produce great birefringence. Through the investigation based on the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database, some compounds with the BN2 linear group were screened out with the formulas A3BN2 (A = Li, Na), A3BN3 (A = Mg, Ca), and Ba3(BN2)2. Particularly, Ca3(BN2)N exhibits a great birefringence of about 0.411 at 1064 nm, which is 3.5, 2.5 and 2.0 times those of the most commercially used birefringent crystals α-BaB2O4 (Δn = 0.116 at 1064 nm), CaCO3 (Δn = 0.164 at 1064 nm) and YVO4 (Δn = 0.208 at 1064 nm), respectively. To find the origins of the optical properties of compounds with the BN2 linear group, the first-principles, REDA and polarizability anisotropy analysis methods were used. Owing to the structural arrangement and the polarization anisotropy of the BN2 linear group, it can influence the birefringence significantly. This work will provide a general way for exploring birefringence-enhanced FMs in B–N compounds. The linear unit BN2 is discovered as a novel birefringence-enhanced fundamental module. Particularly, Ca3(BN2)N exhibits a large birefringence (0.411 at 1064 nm), which is about 2.0–3.5 times of the commercial used birefringent crystals, such as α-BaB2O4, CaCO3 and YVO4.![]()

Abstract
The development of high-power solid-state lasers is in urgent need of new infrared nonlinear optical (IR NLO) materials with a wide band gap and a high laser-induced damage threshold. A new infrared nonlinear optical material Na2Ga2SiS6 has been synthesized for the first time, crystallizing in the Fdd2 (no. 43) noncentrosymmetric space group. Its three-dimensional tunnel framework consists of two typical NLO active motifs [GaS4] and [SiS4], with Na+ cations located inside the tunnels. Na2Ga2SiS6 exhibits comprehensive optical properties, namely, a wide transmission range, a high laser-induced damage threshold (10 × AgGaS2), a type-I phase-matching second-harmonic generation response (0.2 × AgGaS2), and especially a wide band gap (3.93 eV), which is the largest in the A2MIII2MIVQ6 (A = alkali metals; MIII = IIIA elements; MIV = IVA elements; Q = S and Se) family. Therefore, Na2Ga2SiS6 does not produce two-photon absorption under a 1064 nm laser pump and could be used in high-energy laser systems, which makes Na2Ga2SiS6 a promising candidate for high-energy IR NLO applications.

Abstract
A new borate, Na2SrB16O26, was synthesized by the high-temperature solution method. It exhibits complicated interpenetrating 3D B-O frameworks composed of the functional building block (FBB) [B8O16]. The UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy shows that it has a deep-ultraviolet (DUV) cutoff edge (<200 nm). The relationship between the structures and optical properties was uncovered by theoretical calculations. By the first-principles calculation, the birefringence is estimated to be 0.07 at 1064 nm. The response electron distribution anisotropy (REDA) analysis indicates that the [BO3] units contribute mainly to the generation of the moderate birefringence.
