Abstract
High-performance nonlinear-optical (NLO) crystals need to simultaneously meet multiple basic and conflicting performance requirements. Here, by using a partial chemical substitution strategy, the first noncentrosymmetric (NCS) PbBeB2O5 crystal with a BeB2O8 group was synthesized, exhibiting a two-dimensional [BeB2O5]∞ layer constructed by interconnecting BeB2O8 groups and bridged PbO4 with an active lone pair. The crystal shows a promising UV NLO functional feature, including a strong SHG effect of 3.5 × KDP (KH2PO4), large birefringence realizing phase matchability in the whole transparency region from 246 to 2500 nm, a short UV absorption edge of 246 nm, and single-crystal easy growth. Remarkably, theoretical studies reveal that the BeB2O8 group has high nonlinear activity, which could stimulate the discovery of a series of excellent NLO beryllium borates.

Abstract
Oxychalcogenides are increasingly attracting wide attention because they contain multiple anions that may combine the advantages of oxides and chalcogenides. In this work, two new pentanary oxythiogermanates, Ba3MGe3O2S8 [M = Ca (1), Zn (2)], were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction. They crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pnma, and their structures contain isolated [Ge3O2S8]8- units constructed by one [GeO2S2] and two [GeOS3] tetrahedra that link with M2+ ions to build the {[MGe3O2S8]6-}∞ chain, representing a new type of oxythiogermanate. Notably, a [ZnS5] square pyramid exists in 2. Their structural chemistry and relationship with relevant structures are analyzed. 1 and 2 exhibit wide band gaps of 3.93 and 2.63 eV, birefringences of 0.100 and 0.089 at 2100 nm, respectively, and also obvious photocurrent responses. This work may be extended to a family of AE3MIIMIV3O2Q8 (AE = alkali-earth metal; MII = Ca, Zn, Cd, Hg; MIV = Si, Ge, Sn; Q = S, Se), and further systematic survey on them can be performed to enrich the study of multifunctional oxychalcogenides.

Abstract
Tellurostannates are traditionally prepared by multistep reactions using the tellurides SnTe, SnTe2, K4SnTe4, or A6SnTe6 (A = K, Rb, or Cs) as precursors, which are usually prepared by the molten reaction of alkali metals Sn and Te under harsh synthetic conditions. Differently, ternary Hg-tellurostannate hybrids [Mn(en)3]HgSnTe3(Te2) (1) (en = ethylenediamine), [Mn(dien)2]HgSnTe3(Te2) (2), and [Fe(dien)2]HgSnTe3(Te2) (3) (dien = diethylenetriamine) were synthesized by one-pot reactions using Sn and Te powders as starting materials in the presence of hydrazine under mild solvothermal conditions. In 1, HgTe3 and SnTe4 units are joined via Te-sharing to form a 1-D polymeric chain [HgSnTe3(Te2)]n2n-, while the [HgSnTe3(Te2)]n2n- chains in 2 and 3 are composed of HgTe4 and SnTe4 units. The common feature of the [HgSnTe3(Te2)2-]n chains in 1-3 is that they are constructed by both the telluride anion Te2- and the polytelluride anion Te22-. 1-3 exhibited strong photocurrent responses with current densities of 5.26, 3.38, and 3.94 μA cm-2, respectively. They showed effective photocatalytic activities for methylene blue degradation with degradation ratios in the range of 85.3-94.6% after light irradiation for 80 min. Investigation of the photocatalytic mechanism showed that •O2- radicals and h+ holes were the main active substances in the photodegradation.

Abstract
Obtaining compounds with large nonlinear-optical (NLO) coefficients and wide band gaps is challenging due to their competitive requirements for chemical bonds. Herein, the first member with mixed cations on the A site in the A-M3-Q5 or A-Ag-M6-Q10 (A = alkali metal; M = Ga, In; Q = S, Se, Te) family, viz. Na0.45Ag0.55Ga3Se5 (NAGSe), was obtained by a solid-state reaction. Its structure features [GaSe4] tetrahedra built three-dimensional {[Ga3Se5]-}∞ network, with Na and Na/Ag cations located at the octahedral cavities. Noncentrosymmetric (R32) NAGSe can also be transformed from centrosymmetric RbGa3S5 (P21/c) via multiple-site cosubstitution. NAGSe exhibits the highest NLO response (1.9 × AGS) in the A-Ag-M-Q family. Crystal structure analysis and theoretical calculations suggest that the NLO response is mainly contributed by the regularly arranged [GaSe4] units. This work enriches the exploration of the undeveloped A-M3-Q5 or A-Ag-M6-Q10 family as potential infrared NLO materials.

Abstract
Polar molecular crystals, with their densely stacked polar nonlinear optical (NLO) active units, are favored for their large second harmonic generation (SHG) responses and birefringence. However, their potential for practical applications as Infrared (IR) NLO materials has historically been underappreciated due to the weak inter-molecular interaction forces that may compromise their physicochemical properties. In this study, we propose molecular crystals with polar molecular cages as a treasure-house for the development of superior IR NLO materials and a representative system, binary chalcogenide molecular crystals, composed of [P4 Sn ] (n=3-9) polar molecular cages, is introduced. These crystals may not only achieve wide band gap, large SHG response, and birefringence in a single structure, but also exhibit favorable physicochemical properties. We subsequently obtained a polar molecular crystal, α-P4 S5 , which demonstrated exceptional IR optical properties, including a strong SHG response (1.1×AGS), wide band gap (3.02 eV), large birefringence (0.134@2050 nm), and a broad transmission range (0.41-14.7 μm). Moreover, it showed excellent water resistance and hardness. These findings highlight the potential of polar molecular crystals as a promising platform for the development of high-performance IR NLO materials.

Abstract
Noncentrosymmetric (NCS) oxychalcogenides have attracted great attention in recent years due to their immense potential as candidates for IR nonlinear-optical (NLO) applications. Despite notable advancements in this field, the discovery of oxychalcogenides with three-dimensional (3D) framework structures remains a formidable challenge. In this study, we report the discovery of the first hexanary oxychalcogenide, Ba10In2Mn11Si3O12S18, exhibiting second-order NLO activity, using a high-temperature solid-phase method. This compound showcases a novel structure type, featuring an uncommon NCS 3D [In2Mn11Si3O12S18]20- framework formed by vertex-sharing [(Mn/In)S6] octahedra, [(Mn/In)OS3] tetrahedra, and [SiO4] tetrahedra, with charge-balanced Ba2+ cations occupying the channels. Our study serves as a source of inspiration for researchers to further investigate the synthesis of novel NLO-active oxychalcogenides with 3D frameworks.

Abstract
It is substantially challenging for non-centrosymmetric (NCS) Hg-based chalcogenides for infrared nonlinear optical (IR-NLO) applications to realize wide band gap (Eg > 3.0 eV) and sufficient phase-matching (PM) second-harmonic-generation intensity (deff > 1.0 × benchmark AgGaS2 ) simultaneously due to the inherent incompatibility. To address this issue, this work presents a diagonal synergetic substitution strategy for creating two new NCS quaternary Hg-based chalcogenides, AEHgGeS4 (AE = Sr and Ba), based on the centrosymmetric (CS) AEIn2 S4 . The derived AEHgGeS4 displays excellent NLO properties such as a wide Eg (≈3.04-3.07 eV), large PM deff (≈2.2-3.0 × AgGaS2 ), ultra-high laser-induced damage threshold (≈14.8-15 × AgGaS2 ), and suitable Δn (≈0.19-0.24@2050 nm), making them highly promising candidates for IR-NLO applications. Importantly, such excellent second-order NLO properties are primarily attributed to the synergistic combination of tetrahedral [HgS4 ] and [GeS4 ] functional primitives, as supported by detailed theoretical calculations. This study reports the first two NCS Hg-based materials with well-balanced comprehensive properties (i.e., Eg > 3.0 eV and deff > 1.0 × benchmark AgGaS2 ) and puts forward a new design avenue for the construction of more efficient IR-NLO candidates.

Abstract
Noncentrosymmetric phosphides have garnered significant attention as promising systems of infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Herein, a new quaternary diamond-like phosphide family I-III-IV2-V4 and its inaugural member, namely, CuInSi2P4 (CISP), were successfully fabricated by isovalent and aliovalent substitution based on ZnGeP2. First-principles calculations revealed that CISP has a large NLO coefficient (d14 = 110.8 pm/V), which can be attributed to the well-aligned tetrahedral [CuP4], [InP4], and [SiP4] units. Remarkably, the extremely small thermal expansion anisotropy (0.09) of CISP enables it to exhibit a considerable laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT, 5.0 × AgGaS2@1.06 μm) despite the relatively narrow band gap (0.81 eV). This work improves the chemical diversity of inorganic phosphide and promotes the development of phosphide systems, which may provide valuable perspectives for future exploration of IR NLO materials.

Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are indispensable for the solid-state lasers for their ability to expand wavelength spectral to the regions where the directing lasing is difficult or even impossible, yet the rational design of a high-performance NLO crystal remains a great challenge owing to the severe structural and properties' requirements. Herein, a new noncentrosymmetric (NCS) and polar gallium iodate, LiGa(IO3 )4 , with a novel 2D anionic layer, is successfully designed and synthesized by the aliovalent substitution strategy based on classic α-LiIO3 . The 2D [Ga(IO3 )4 ]∞ - layer in LiGa(IO3 )4 is built from the GaO6 octahedra and highly polarizable units IO3 . Compared with its parent compound, the partial replacement of A-site Li+ cation with main group Ga3+ cation facilitates LiGa(IO3 )4 to possess excellent NLO properties, including the large second-harmonic generation (SHG) response (14 × KH2 PO4 (KDP) @ 1064 nm), wide bandgap (4.25 eV), large birefringence (0.23 @ 1064 nm), and wide optical transparency from UV to mid-IR. These reveal that LiGa(IO3 )4 will be a promising NLO crystal.

Note that interesting multiple six membered-rings (6-MRs) including 6-NaS6-MRs and 6-KSn-MRs (n = 6 and 7) formed by A+-centered polyhedra were discovered in the structures of title thiophosphates and these MR-composed three-dimensional (3D) tunnels show great possibility to facilitate the filling of various structural blocks (such as zero-dimensional (0D) Pb3S10 trimers or one-dimensional (1D) (MIISn)n chains). Na6Pb3P4S16 exhibits the strongest nonlinear optical (NLO) response (5.4 × AgGaS2) with phase-matching (PM) behavior among the known Pb-based PM NLO sulfides, which is much larger than that of Pb3P2S8 (3.5 × AgGaS2); it was verified that such large second harmonic generation (SHG) response in Na6Pb3P4S16 can be attributed to the huge contribution of stereochemically active PbS4 units based on the SHG-density and dipole-moment calculations. Moreover, title thiophosphates show large birefringences (Δn = 0.102-0.21), which indicates that incorporation of [P2S6] dimers or polarized PbS4 units into structures provides positive benefits for the onset of strong optical anisotropy.

Abstract
An alkali rare-earth phosphate K2RbSc(PO4)2 was successfully obtained as a derivative of glaserite-type K3Na(SO4)2 by co-substitution of K(1)O12 → RbO12, K(2)O10 → KO7, NaO6 → ScO6 and SO4 → PO4, while maintaining the original anionic framework. K2RbSc(PO4)2 exhibits a layered [Sc(PO4)2]∞ framework built from ScO6 octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra, with K and Rb residing in the interlayers. Its isostructural lanthanide analogues K2RbEr(PO4)2 and K2RbLu(PO4)2, inspired by an elemental substitution strategy, were also prepared by a high-temperature solid state reaction. The successful substitution indicates that the skeleton of K2RbSc(PO4)2 is stable with high structural tolerance, which can provide a possibility for substitution of resident ions to obtain diverse structural types and applications.

Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have aroused increasing interest owing to their promising applications in optoelectronic technologies. Herein, we present the synthesis of an acentric niobium tellurite crystal, Nb2Te3O11, extracted via a spontaneous crystallization approach. It adopts a unique three-dimensional (3D) structure constructed by the distorted [TeO3], [TeO4], and [NbO6] fundamental building units. The title compound undergoes incongruent melting at approximately 807 °C. Optical characterizations demonstrate that Nb2Te3O11 possesses an extended transparency window beyond 5 μm, along with a large band gap value of 3.1 eV. Moreover, the as-synthesized Nb2Te3O11 displays an appreciable second-harmonic generation (SHG) response of 2 × KDP and a notable birefringence of 0.11 under 1064 nm for achieving phase-matching. In addition, theoretical calculation investigations suggest that the intriguing optical properties are ascribed to the cooperative effect of three types of NLO-active motifs: [TeO3] pyramids, [TeO4] seesaws, and [NbO6] octahedra. These attributes provide new functional insights into Nb2Te3O11 and enrich the family of NLO crystals in the mid-infrared region.

Abstract
Exploring and developing new functional inorganic chalcogenides with unique structures is always one of the most important missions in solid-state chemistry, especially those with molecular structures. Herein, a novel quaternary thioarsenate, Cs2CdAsSe5, is found to be based on an unprecedented molecular (poly)chalcogenide cluster architecture, which has never been discovered in inorganic chalcogenide systems. This rare windmill-like [Cd4As8Se16(Se2)2]8- cluster is made of four [CdSe4] and [As(V)Se4] tetrahedra via corner-sharing Se atoms and Se-Se bonds. Specifically, Cs2CdAsSe5 exhibits a remarkable photocurrent response and a large computationally predicted birefringence, and the origin of the optoelectronic performance and optical anisotropy is confirmed by detailed theoretical investigation.

Abstract
Metal oxychalcogenides as candidates for novel mid-infrared nonlinear-optical materials have attracted great interest due to the distinctive advantages of oxides and chalcogenides in this field. Herein, the first melilite-type rare-earth (RE) oxythiogermanates Eu2MGe2OS6 [M = Mn (1), Fe (2), Co (3)] are obtained by combining RE metals with localized f electrons, magnetic transition metals with delocalized d electrons, and the highly distorted mixed anionic group [GeOS3] into one structure. They belong to the tetragonal P4̅21m space group, and highly distorted [EuOS7] bicapped trigonal prisms bridge adjacent {[MGe2OS6]4-}∞ layers to build the three-dimensional network. Their optical band gaps are determined as 2.40, 2.11 and 2.14 eV, and they show moderate second-harmonic-generation (SHG) responses (0.3, 0.3 and 0.5 × AGS) and large laser-induced damage thresholds (2.77-8.31 × AGS). Theoretical calculation results indicate that the synergistic effect of [EuOS7] and [MS4] units acts on the SHG effect. This work enriches the crystal chemistry of melilite-structure materials.

Abstract
In this work, a number of new infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals of LixAg1-xInSe2, in which the ratio x of Li/Ag varies in a wide range from 0 to 1, are investigated. Structural analysis reveals that the space group of LixAg1-xInSe2 evolved from I4̅2d in AgInSe2 to Pna21 in LiInSe2 as x increases from low values (0, 0.2, 0.37) to large values (0.55, 0.78, 0.81, 1). Compared to other Li/Ag coexisting chalcogenides such as LixAg1-xGaS2 and LixAg1-xGaSe2, the structural distortions in LixAg1-xInSe2 are much more prominent. This may explain the limited crystallization region in the phase graph of the tetragonal structure LixAg1-xInSe2. The fundamental optical absorption edges in these LixAg1-xInSe2 compounds are determined from the direct electronic transitions and the band gaps Eg gradually increase as the lithium content increases, consistent with the first-principles calculations. The composition x = 0.78 is calculated to have a good set of optical properties with a large NLO coefficient (dpowder = 28.8 pm/V) and moderate birefringence (Δn ∼ 0.04). Accordingly, the Li0.78Ag0.22InSe2 crystal is grown by the modified Bridgman-Stockbarger method, and it exhibits a wide transparency range from 0.546 to 14.3 μm at the 2% transmittance level.

Abstract
Salt-inclusion chalcogenides (SICs) have been receiving widespread attention due to their large second harmonic generation (SHG) responses and wide bandgaps, however most of them suffer from small birefringence limiting their technical application. Herein, by introducing the π-conjugated (S2 )2- units in the ionic guest of salt-inclusion structure, the first disulfide-bond-containing SIC, [Ba4 (S2 )][ZnGa4 S10 ] has been synthesized. It exhibits the widest bandgap up to 3.39 eV among polychalcogenides and strong SHG response as large as that of AgGaS2 (AGS). Importantly, its birefringence reaches a max value of 0.053@1064 nm among AGS-like SICs, indicating it is a promising IR nonlinear optical (NLO) material. Theoretical calculations reveal that the π-conjugated (S2 )2- units and covalent GaS layers favor the enhanced birefringence and large SHG response. This work provides not only a new type of SIC for the first time, but also new lights on the design of IR NLO materials.

Abstract
Developing strategies to rational design noncentrosymmetric structure still attract much interest for their applications in nonlinear optical and piezoelectric materials. Two noncentrosymmetric (NCS) alkaline earth metal bismuth phosphates have been successfully achieved via partial replacement of Bi3+ with Ca2+ or Sr2+ ions. BiCa(H0.5PO4)2 (designated as CaBiPO) and BiSr(H0.5PO4)2 (designated as SrBiPO), together with their solid solution Bi(Sr1-xCax)(H0.5PO4)2 (0 < x ≤ 0.5), crystallize in the NCS space group C2. Both CaBiPO and SrBiPO exhibit ultraviolet nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, and their second-harmonic generation effects belong to type-II phase matching. Meanwhile, they could also act as photoluminescence hosts in which the Eu3+-doping samples SrBiPO:xEu3+ (x = 0.02-0.2) emit orange light. The effect of different radius ions on the derivative structures and the structure-NLO property relationship has also been discussed in detail.

Abstract
The balance between large nonlinear optical (NLO) effect and wide bandgap is the key scientific issue for the exploration of infrared NLO materials. Targeting this issue, two new pentanary chalcogenides KGaGe1.37 Sn0.63 S6 (1) and KGaGe1.37 Sn0.63 Se6 (2) are obtained by the three-in-one strategy, viz. three types of fourfold-coordinated metal elements co-occupying the same site. They crystallize in the tetragonal P43 (1) and monoclinic Cc (2) space group. Their structures can be evolved from benchmark AgGaS2 (AGS) by suitable substitution. Remarkably, 1 is the first NLO sulfide crystallizing with the P43 space group, representing a new structure-type NLO material. The structural relationship between 1 and 2 and the evolution from 1, 2 to AGS are also analyzed. Both 1 and 2 show balanced NLO properties. Specifically, 1 exhibits phase-matchable SHG response of 0.6 × AGS, a wide bandgap of 3.50 eV, and a high laser damage threshold of 6.24 × AGS. Theoretical calculation results suggest that the Ga/Ge/Sn element ratios of the co-occupied sites of 1 and 2 are the most appropriate for stabilizing the structures. The strategy adopted here will provide some inspiration for exploring new high-performance NLO materials.

Abstract
Oxides are emerging candidates for mid-infrared (mid-IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. However, their intrinsically weak second harmonic generation (SHG) effects hinder their further development. A major design challenge is to increase the nonlinear coefficient while maintaining the broad mid-IR transmission and high laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of the oxides. In this study, it is reported on a polar NLO tellurite, Cd2 Nb2 Te4 O15 (CNTO), featuring a pseudo-Aurivillius-type perovskite layered structure composed of three types of NLO active groups, including CdO6 octahedra, NbO6 octahedra, and TeO4 seesaws. The uniform orientation of the distorted units induces a giant SHG response that is ≈31 times larger than that of KH2 PO4 , the largest value among all reported metal tellurites. Additionally, CNTO exhibits a large band gap (3.75 eV), a wide optical transparency window (0.33-14.5 µm), superior birefringence (0.12@ 546 nm), high LIDT (23 × AgGaS2 ), and strong acid and alkali resistance, indicating its potential as a promising mid-IR NLO material.

Abstract
Exploration of new functional materials with enhanced performance from known ones is always an attractive strategy. A new infrared (IR) nonlinear-optical (NLO) mixed chalcogenide Ag2In2SiS3.06Se2.94 (1), was obtained through partial congener substitution originated from Ag2In2SiS6 (0). 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cc, and its three-dimensional (3D) polyanionic network is composed of {[In4Si2Se5(S/Se)11]12-}∞ helical chains sharing S/Se(5) corner atoms with cavities embedded with counterion Ag+ ions. It exhibits a much enhanced NLO response compared to that of 0, reaching 1.1 × AgGaS2. Further theoretical analysis results indicate that the large NLO response can be attributed to the synergistic effect of AgQ4 and InQ4 tetrahedral functional motifs. This work not only reports a new high-performance IR NLO material but also enriches the partial ion substitution strategy to obtain new functional materials.

Abstract
The search for new high-performance infrared (IR) nonlinear-optical (NLO) materials is a hot topic in the fields of laser chemistry and inorganic solid-state chemistry. Here, a new Hg-based sulfide KHg4Ga3S9 in the family of A-MII-MIII-Q (A = alkali metal; MII = d10 metal; MIII = Ga, In; Q = S, Se) was synthesized. It crystallizes in the orthogonal system of the C2221 structure, which is rare for IR NLO chalcogenides. Its anionic framework {[Hg4Ga3S9]-}∞ is constructed by two types of interconnected helical chains, viz., the inner layer ({[Hg6Ga2S29/3]4/3-}∞) and the outer layer ({[Hg2Ga4S25/3]2/3-}∞). It exhibits a moderate NLO response and a high laser-induced damage threshold. Theoretical calculations indicate that the HgS4 unit accounts for its much larger NLO response compared to RbCd4Ga3S9. The influence of alkali metals and d10 metals on the initial phase-matching wavelength is also discussed. This work provides inspiration for improving the properties of NLO materials' properties.

Abstract
The present work focuses on the synthesis and properties of a novel multifunctional cerium(III) MOF, [Ce2(data)3(DMF)4]·DMF (data2-: 2,5-diaminoterephthalate), abbreviated as NH2-Ce-MUM-2. Its crystal structure reveals an intricate 3D 4,5-connected framework with a xah topology. This MOF features unique properties, such as open metal sites, presence of free amino groups, and high stability. Two main applications of NH2-Ce-MUM-2 were investigated: (i) as a heterogeneous catalyst in the CO2 fixation into cyclic carbonates and (ii) as a material with third-order nonlinear optical activity. As a model reaction, the cycloaddition of CO2 to propylene oxide to give the corresponding cyclic carbonate was explored under mild conditions, at the atmospheric pressure of carbon dioxide and in the absence of cocatalyst and added solvent. Various reaction parameters were investigated toward optimization and exploration of substrate scope, revealing up to 99% product yields of cyclic carbonate products. Besides, the structure of NH2-Ce-MUM-2 is highly stable, permitting its recyclability and reusability in further catalytic experiments. The significant contributions of free amino groups and open metal sites within this catalyst were particularly considered when proposing a potential mechanism for the reaction. Z-Scan measurements were used to evaluate the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of NH2-Ce-MUM-2 at various laser intensities. A high two-photon absorption (TPA) under greater incident intensities shows that NH2-Ce-MUM-2 might be applicable in optical switching devices. Besides, the self-focusing effects of NH2-Ce-MUM-2 under various incident intensities were highlighted by the nonlinear index of refraction (n2). By reporting the synthesis and characterization of a novel MOF, along with its highly promising catalytic and NLO behavior, the current study introduces an additional example of multifunctional material into a growing family of metal-organic frameworks.

Abstract
Inorganic chalcogenides have been studied as the most promising infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) candidates for the past decades. However, it is proven difficult to discover high-performance materials that combine the often-incompatible properties of large energy gap (Eg ) and strong second harmonic generation (SHG) response (deff ), especially for rare-earth chalcogenides. Herein, centrosymmetric Cs3 [Sb3 O6 ][Ge2 O7 ] is selected as a maternal structure and a new noncentrosymmetric rare-earth oxychalcogenide, namely, Nd3 [Ga3 O3 S3 ][Ge2 O7 ], is successfully designed and obtained by the module substitution strategy for the first time. Especially, Nd3 [Ga3 O3 S3 ][Ge2 O7 ] is the first case of breaking the trade-off relationship between wide Eg (>3.5 eV) and large deff (>0.5 × AgGaS2 ) in rare-earth chalcogenide system, and thus displays an outstanding IR-NLO comprehensive performance. Detailed structure analyses and theoretical studies reveal that the NLO effect originates mainly from the cooperation of heteroanionic [GaO2 S2 ] and [NdO2 S6 ] asymmetric building blocks. This work not only presents an excellent rare-earth IR-NLO candidate, but also plays a crucial role in the rational structure design of other NLO materials in which both large Eg and strong deff are pursued.

Abstract
Hg-based chalcogenides possess diverse structures, large nonlinear-optical (NLO) responses, and suitable birefringences, making them potentially suitable for numerous crucial criteria of practical application as infrared (IR) NLO crystals. Here, a new pentanary Hg-based sulfide K2Ba7HgIn4S16 has been discovered by a high-temperature solid-state method. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic P21212 space group, and its one-dimensional structure is constructed by {[In2S7]8-}∞ chains and isolated [HgS4]6- planar quadrilateral units located bewteeen the chains, representing a novel type of chalcogenide. K2Ba7HgIn4S16 exhibits a moderate NLO effect of 0.5 × AGS at 2.1 μm and a high laser-induced damage threshold of ∼5.8 × AGS, as well as a band gap of 2.98 eV, demonstrating that K2Ba7HgIn4S16 is a potential IR NLO material. This work enriches the structural chemistry of chalcogenides and the family of Hg-based IR NLO chalcogenides.

Abstract
Complete substitution of Li atoms for Ag atoms in AgGaSe2 and AgInSe2 was achieved, resulting in the solid solutions LixAg1-xGaSe2 and LixAg1-xInSe2. The detailed crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and solid-state 7Li nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which confirm that Li atoms occupy unique sites and disorder only with Ag atoms. The tetragonal CuFeS2-type structure (space group I4̅2d) was retained within the entirety of the Ga-containing solid solution LixAg1-xGaSe2, which is noteworthy because the end-member LiGaSe2 normally adopts the orthorhombic β-NaFeO2-type structure (space group Pna21). These structures are closely related, being superstructures of the cubic sphalerite and hexagonal wurtzite prototypes adopted by diamond-like semiconductors. For the In-containing solid solution LixAg1-xInSe2, the structure transforms from the tetragonal to orthorhombic forms as the Li content increases past x = 0.50. The optical band gaps increase gradually with higher Li content, from 1.8 to 3.4 eV in LixAg1-xGaSe2 and from 1.2 to 2.5 eV in LixAg1-xInSe2, enabling control to desired values, while the second harmonic generation responses become stronger or are similar to those of benchmark infrared nonlinear optical materials such as AgGaS2. All members of these solid solutions remain congruently melting at accessible temperatures between 800 and 900 °C. Electronic structure calculations support the linear trends seen in the optical band gaps and confirm the mostly ionic character present in Li-Se bonds, in contrast to the more covalent character in Ga-Se or In-Se bonds.

Abstract
A new non-centrosymmetric (NCS) chalcohalide, [Sr4Cl2][Ge3S9], was successfully designed and synthesized through combining chemical tailoring with aliovalent substitution strategies from the maternal [NaSr4Cl][Ge3S10]. It can exhibit a large SHG effect (0.97 × AgGaS2), a wide band gap of 3.71 eV, and a high LDT (∼16 × AgGaS2). These results indicate that [Sr4Cl2][Ge3S9] may be a potential infrared nonlinear optical crystal.

Abstract
The discovery of new functional materials is attractive since they have the opportunity to change some important fields. Of these materials, oxychalcogenides constitute an increasing type of nonlinear optical (NLO) material. Herein, a new rare-earth oxythiogermanate Eu3GeOS4 crystallizing with a polar orthorhombic Pca21 structure is studied. Its three-dimensional structure is constructed from unique [EuOS6] monocapped trigonal prisms and isolated [GeOS3] tetrahedra, featuring a new type of oxysulfides. Its band gap is 2.05 eV, and it exhibits obvious second-harmonic generation (SHG) response and high laser-induced damage threshold. In addition, Eu3GeOS4 exhibits Curie-Weiss ferromagnetic behavior in the high-temperature region. The SHG effect is ascribed to the synergistic effect of [EuOS6] and [GeOS3] units based on theoretical calculation results. This work is the first investigation of quaternary rare-earth oxythiogermanates as NLO materials.

Abstract
The strong mutual coupling of and even the opposite change in the key parameters, such as the band gap (Eg ) and second-order harmonic generation (SHG), leads to the extreme scarcity in high-performance IR nonlinear optical (NLO) chalcogenides. Herein, we report 8 new sulfides, Na2 Ba[(Agx Na1-x )2 Sn2 S7 ] (1, x=0; 1 series, x=0.1-0.6; Na2 Ba[(Li0.58 Na0.42 )2 Sn2 S7 ], 1-0.6Li); Na2 Sr[Cu2 Sn2 S7 ] (2); and Na2 Ba[Cu2 Sn2 S7 ] (3). We use the structural tolerance factor ( t I e x p ${{t}_{I}^{exp}}$ ) to connect the chemical composition, crystal structure, and NLO properties. Guided by these correlations, a better balance between Eg and SHG is realized in 1, which exhibits a large Eg of 3.42 eV and excellent NLO properties (SHG: 1.5×AGS; laser-induced damage threshold: 12×AGS), representing the best performance among the known Hg- or As-free sulfides to date.

Abstract
Rare-earth (RE) chalcogenides have been extensively studied as infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) materials because of their nice integrated performances; however, very few RE chalcophosphates are involved for this topic. Here, three quaternary RE selenophosphates, KSmP2 Se6 (1), KGdP2 Se6 (2), and KTbP2 Se6 (3), are profoundly studied for their NLO potentials. Their noncentrosymmetric P21 structures feature RESe8-bicapped trigonal prisms and ethane-like [P2 Se6 ]4 - dimers built {[REP2 Se6 ]-}∞ layers. As the first studied NLO-active RE selenophosphates, 1-3 exhibit second harmonic generation (SHG)responses ≈0.34-1.08 × AgGaS2 at 2.10 µm and laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs) ≈1.43-4.33 × AgGaS2 , and they all show phase-matchable behaviors, indicating their wonderful balanced NLO properties. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the synergistic effect between RESe8 and P2 Se6 units makes the major contribution to the SHG responses.

The Kurtz-Perry Powder Technique Revisited: A Study of the Effect of Reference Selection on Powder Second-Harmonic Generation Response. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28031116.

Abstract
The accurate evaluation of nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficient, the main parameter affecting light conversion efficiency, plays a crucial role in the development of NLO materials. The Kurtz-Perry powder technique can evaluate second-harmonic generation (SHG) intensity in pristine powder form, saving a significant amount of time and energy in the preliminary screening of materials. However, the Kurtz-Perry method has recently been subject to some controversy due to the limitations of the Kurtz-Perry theory and the oversimplified experimental operation. Therefore, it is very meaningful to revisit and develop the Kurtz-Perry technique. In this work, on the basis of introducing the light scattering effect into the original Kurtz-Perry theory, the theoretical expression of second-harmonic generation intensity with respect to band gap and refractive index are analyzed. In addition, the reference-dependent SHG measurements were carried out on polycrystalline LiB3O5 (LBO), AgGaQ2 (Q = S, Se), BaGa4Q7 (Q = S, Se), and ZnGeP2 (ZGP), and the results of SHG response emphasize the importance of using appropriate references to the Kurtz-Perry method. In order to obtain reliable values of nonlinear coefficients, two criteria for selecting a reference compound were proposed: (1) it should possess a band gap close to that of the sample to be measured and (2) it should possess a refractive index close to that of the sample to be measured. This work might shed light on improvements in accuracy that can be made for effective NLO coefficients obtained using the Kurtz-Perry method.

Abstract
A quaternary metal chalcogenide, namely K2CdGe3S8 (I), is obtained through a high-temperature solid-state approach. Compound I crystallizes with the non-centrosymmetric space group P212121. It features a 2D layer structure with [CdGe3S8] layers consisting of tetrahedral GeS4 and CdS4 units, and counter K+ embedded between the layers. The compound exhibits a powder second-harmonic generation (SHG) response of ~0.1 times that of KH2PO4 (KDP) with phase-matchable character at the laser wavelength of 1064 nm. Remarkably, it has a wide band gap (3.20 eV), which corresponds to a favorable high laser-induced damage threshold of 6.7 times that of AgGaS2. In addition, the calculated birefringence (Δn) is 0.039 at the wavelength of 1064 nm, which satisfies the Δn criteria for a promising infrared NLO material.

Abstract
Tailored structural regulation to obtain a new non-centrosymmetric (NCS) compound with excellent optical properties is highly desirable but remains a challenge for nonlinear optical (NLO) material design. In this work, centrosymmetric celsian-type BaGa2Si2O8 was selected as a template structure, and a novel NCS oxychalcogenide, namely, Ba5Ga2SiO4S6, was successfully designed via the introduction of heteroanions under high-temperature solid-state conditions. Ba5Ga2SiO4S6 adopts the monoclinic space group of Cc (no. 9) and is formed by charges balancing Ba2+ cations and discrete [Ga2SiO4S6] clusters made of corner-sharing [SiO4] and [GaOS3] tetrahedra. Notably, Ba5Ga2SiO4S6 exhibits the critical requirements as a potential UV NLO candidate, including a phase-matching second-harmonic generation intensity (∼1.0 × KDP), a beneficial laser-induced damage threshold (1.2 × KDP), a large birefringence (Δn = 0.10@546 nm), and a short UV absorption cutoff edge (ca. 0.26 μm). Furthermore, the theoretical calculation is implemented to provide a deeper analysis of the structure-activity relationship. The investigated example of structural regulation originated from heteroanion introduction in this study may offer a feasible strategy for high-performance NLO candidate design.

Abstract
Two acentric chalcogenide compounds, K2CdGe3S8 and K2CdGe3Se8, were synthesized via conventional high-temperature solid-state reactions. The crystal structures of K2CdGe3S8 and K2CdGe3Se8 were accurately determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and crystallize in the K2FeGe3S8 structure type. K2CdGe3S8 is isostructural to K2FeGe3S8 with superior nonlinear optical properties. For the second harmonic generation (SHG) response, K2CdGe3S8 is 18× K2FeGe3S8 for samples of particle size of 38-55 μm. The superior nonlinear optical properties of K2CdGe3S8 over K2FeGe3S8 are mainly contributed by the chemical characteristics of Cd compared with Fe, which are elucidated by nonlinear optical property measurements, electronic structure calculations, and density functional theory calculations. The [CdS4] tetrahedra within K2CdGe3S8 exhibit a higher degree of distortion and larger volume compared to the [FeS4] tetrahedra in K2FeGe3S8. This study possesses a good platform to investigate how d-block elements contribute to the SHG response. The fully occupied d10-elements are better for SHG susceptibility than d6-elements in this study. K2CdGe3S8 is a good candidate as an infrared nonlinear optical material of high SHG response (2.1× AgGaS2, samples of particle size of 200-250 μm), type-I phase-matching capability, high laser damage threshold (6.2× AgGaS2), and good stability.

Abstract
As one type of material containing multiple anions, oxysulfides can combine the advantages of oxides and sulfides and are deeply studied as nonlinear-optical (NLO) materials. Herein, a new melilite-type pentanary oxysulfide Sr2CoGe2OS6 is studied. It crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric tetragonal space group P4̅21m, and its structure features GeOS3 and CoS4 tetrahedra-built {[CoGe2OS6]4-}∞ layers. Its powder sample exhibits a moderate phase-matchable NLO response and a high laser-induced damage threshold. The NLO response is mainly determined by CoS4 tetrahedra according to the theoretical calculation results. This work indicates that transition-metal oxysulfides can also be considered as potential infrared NLO materials.

Abstract
Oxychalcogenides have gained widespread attention as promising infrared nonlinear optical (IR-NLO) candidates. However, high-performance oxychalcogenides have rarely been reported in the ultraviolet (UV) region owing to the low energy gaps (Eg < 4.0 eV). Herein, two non-centrosymmetric (NCS) oxychalcogenides with one-dimensional (1D) chain structures and wide Eg (>4.3 eV), namely, AEGeOS2 (AE = Sr and Ba), have been discovered by combined experiments and theory calculations as a new source of UV-NLO materials. Significantly, they exhibit excellent comprehensive performance comparable to the commercial UV-NLO material KH2PO4 (KDP), including large phase-matching ranges (>380 nm), sufficient second harmonic generation intensities (0.7-1.1 × KDP), high laser-induced damage thresholds (1.2 × KDP), wide transparent regions (0.26-12.2 μm), and good thermal stability (up to 1100 K). Moreover, systematic structure-activity relationship analysis illustrates that the 1D homochiral helical [GeOS2]2- chains composed of heteroanionic [GeS2O2] units make major contribution to the desirable UV-NLO performance. This work makes the two compounds shine out as new energy in the UV-NLO field and offers a new perspective for the exploration of structure-driven functional oxychalcogenides.

Abstract
The acquisition of a non-centrosymmetric (NCS) structure and achieving a nice trade-off between a large energy gap (E g > 3.5 eV) and a strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) response (d eff > 1.0 × benchmark AgGaS2) are two formidable challenges in the design and development of infrared nonlinear optical (IR-NLO) candidates. In this work, a new quaternary NCS sulfide, SrCdSiS4, has been rationally designed using the centrosymmetric SrGa2S4 as the template via a dual-site aliovalent substitution strategy. SrCdSiS4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Ama2 (no. 40) and features a unique two-dimensional [CdSiS4]2- layer constructed from corner- and edge-sharing [CdS4] and [SiS4] basic building units (BBUs). Remarkably, SrCdSiS4 displays superior IR-NLO comprehensive performances, and this is the first report on an alkaline-earth metal-based IR-NLO material that breaks through the incompatibility between a large E g (>3.5 eV) and a strong phase-matching d eff (>1.0 × AgGaS2). In-depth mechanism explorations strongly demonstrate that the synergistic effect of distorted tetrahedral [CdS4] and [SiS4] BBUs is the main origin of the strong SHG effect and large birefringence. This work not only provides a high-performance IR-NLO candidate, but also offers a feasible chemical design strategy for constructing NCS structures.

Abstract
The isostructural heteroanionic compounds β-LiAsS2-xSex (x = 0, 0.25, 1, 1.75, 2) show a positive correlation between selenium content and second-harmonic response and greatly outperform the industry standard AgGaSe2. These materials crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric space group Cc as one-dimensional 1/∞ [AsQ2]- (Q = S, Se, S/Se) chains consisting of corner-sharing AsQ3 trigonal pyramids with charge-balancing Li+ atoms interspersed between the chains. LiAsS2-xSex melts congruently for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.75, but when the Se content exceeds x = 1.75, crystallization is complicated by a phase transition. This behavior is attributed to the β- to α-phase transition present in LiAsSe2, which is observed in the Se-rich compositions. The band gap decreases with increasing Se content, starting at 1.63 eV (LiAsS2) and reaching 1.06 eV (β-LiAsSe2). Second-harmonic generation measurements as a function of wavelength on powder samples of β-LiAsS2-xSex show that these materials exhibit significantly higher nonlinearity than AgGaSe2 (d36 = 33 pm/V), reaching a maximum of 61.2 pm/V for LiAsS2. In comparison, single-crystal measurements for LiAsSSe yielded a deff = 410 pm/V. LiAsSSe, LiAsS0.25Se1.75, and β-LiAsSe2 show phase-matching behavior for incident wavelengths exceeding 3 μm. The laser-induced damage thresholds from two-photon absorption processes are on the same order of magnitude as AgGaSe2, with S-rich materials slightly outperforming AgGaSe2 and Se-rich materials slightly underperforming AgGaSe2.
