Abstract
With the continuous development of laser technology and the increasing demand for lasers of different frequencies in the infrared (IR) spectrum, research on infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals has garnered growing attention. Currently, the three main commercially available types of borate materials each have their drawbacks, which limit their applications in various areas. Rare-earth (RE)-based chalcogenide compounds, characterized by the unique f-electron configuration, strong positive charges, and high coordination numbers of RE cations, often exhibit distinctive optical responses. In the field of IR-NLO crystals, they have a research history spanning several decades, with increasing interest. However, there is currently no comprehensive review summarizing and analyzing these promising compounds. In this review, we categorize 85 representative examples out of more than 400 non-centrosymmetric (NCS) compounds into four classes based on the connection of different asymmetric building motifs: (1) RE-based chalcogenides containing tetrahedral motifs; (2) RE-based chalcogenides containing lone-pair-electron motifs; (3) RE-based chalcogenides containing [BS3] and [P2Q6] motifs; and (4) RE-based chalcohalides and oxychalcogenides. We provide detailed discussions on their synthesis methods, structures, optical properties, and structure-performance relationships. Finally, we present several favorable suggestions to further explore RE-based chalcogenide compounds. These suggestions aim to approach these compounds from a new perspective in the field of structural chemistry and potentially uncover hidden treasures within the extensive accumulation of previous research.

Abstract
Exploration of novel nonlinear optical (NLO) chalcogenides with high laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDT) is critical for mid-infrared (mid-IR) solid-state laser applications. High lattice thermal conductivity (κL ) is crucial to increasing LIDT yet often neglected in the search for NLO crystals due to lack of accurate κL data. A machine learning (ML) approach to predict κL for over 6000 chalcogenides is hereby proposed. Combining ML-generated κL data and first-principles calculation, a high-throughput screening route is initiated, and ten new potential mid-IR NLO chalcogenides with optimal bandgap, NLO coefficients, and thermal conductivity are discovered, in which Li2 SiS3 and AlZnGaS4 are highlighted. Big-data analysis on structural chemistry proves that the chalcogenides having dense and simple lattice structures with low anisotropy, light atoms, and strong covalent bonds are likely to possess higher κL . The four-coordinated motifs in which central cations show the bond valence sum of +2 to +3 and are from IIIA, IVA, VA, and IIB groups, such as those in diamond-like defect-chalcopyrite chalcogenides, are preferred to fulfill the desired structural chemistry conditions for balanced NLO and thermal properties. This work provides not only an efficient strategy but also interpretable research directions in the search for NLO crystals with high thermal conductivity.

Abstract
Designing wide-bandgap chalcogenides is one of the most important ways of obtaining high-performance infrared (IR) functional materials. In this work, two Mg-based metal thiophosphates, namely Na6Mg3P4S16 (NMPS) and RbMg2PS4Cl2 (RMPSC), were successfully obtained by introducing [MgS6] and [MgSxCl6-x] octahedra into thiophosphates. In addition, their crystal structures were determined, a first for Mg-containing [PS4]-based thiophosphates to the best of our knowledge. Their bandgaps were investigated in theoretical ways and verified by taking experimental measurements, and determined to be 3.80 eV for NMPS and 3.93 eV for RMPSC, values greater than those of the other investigated thiophosphate halides. The wide bandgaps of NMPS and RMPSC were attributed, based on theoretical calculations, to the [MgSxCl6-x] (x = 0-6) octahedron.

Abstract
Polymorphs of ZnHPO3·2H2O with centrosymmetry (Cmcm) and noncentrosymmetry (C2) structures were prepared by modified solution evaporation and seed-crystal-induced secondary nucleation methods. In Cmcm-ZnHPO3·2H2O, the zinc atoms are only octahedrally coordinated, while in C2-ZnHPO3·2H2O, they feature both tetrahedral and octahedral coordination. As a result, Cmcm-ZnHPO3·2H2O features a 2D layered structure with lattice water molecules located in the interlayer space, while C2-ZnHPO3·2H2O features a 3D electroneutral framework of tfa topology connected by Zn(1)O4, Zn(2)O6, and HPO3 units. The UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra associated with Tauc's analyses give a direct bandgap of 4.24 and 4.33 eV for Cmcm-ZnHPO3·2H2O and C2-ZnHPO3·2H2O, respectively. Moreover, C2-ZnHPO3·2H2O exhibits a weak second harmonic generation (SHG) response and a moderate birefringence for phase matching, indicating its potential as a nonlinear optical material. Detailed dipole moment calculation and analysis confirmed that the SHG response mainly derived from the HPO3 pseudo-tetrahedra.

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
Inorganic adducts are an emerging class of infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. However, although the reported NLO adducts have sufficient birefringences and significant laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs), they commonly suffer from weak second harmonic generation (SHG) responses. In this work, a series of polar phosphorus chalcogenide cage molecules with strong hyperpolarizabilities were theoretically screened out to enhance the SHG responses of adducts. Accordingly, (CuI)3 (P4 S4 ), (CuI)3 (P4 Se4 ), (CuBr)7 (P4 S3 )3 and (CuBr)7 (P4 Se3 )3 with target polar cage molecules were successfully synthesized. As expected, they exhibit enhanced SHG responses while keeping moderate birefringences and high LIDTs. Notably, (CuBr)7 (P4 Se3 )3 possesses the largest SHG response (3.5×AGS@2.05 μm) among the known inorganic NLO adducts. Our study confirms that introducing NLO-active cage molecules into adducts is an efficient strategy for high-performance NLO materials.

Abstract
Metal thiophosphates have aroused much research interest due to their structural chemistry and possible applications as infrared functional materials. In this study, five quaternary Sr-based alkali metal thiophosphates ASrPS4 (A = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) were obtained. Their structural comparison shows that their symmetry undergoes transformation from tetragonal (I41/acd) to monoclinic (P21/c) to orthorhombic (Pnma) system, which is induced by the cation size effects and coordination features of different alkali metal cations. The experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that the band gaps of all title compounds are large, namely 3.6-3.9 eV (experimental results) and 3.78-4.12 eV (HSE06). Theoretical analyses indicate that the [PS4] group could be regarded as a good unit for designing wide band gap compounds, and the birefringence of NaSrPS4 is 0.08 at the fundemental 1064 nm wavelength, which shows that it may be a potential infrared birefringent material.

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 I4-II-IV2-VI7 metal chalcogenide system has become an attractive research system because of its excellent physical and chemical properties. Here, we report the discovery of a new SnII-based quaternary chalcogenide in the I4-II-IV2-VI7 system, Ag4SnGe2S7, with a non-diamond-like structure and crystallizing in the Cc space group. The compound is characterized by isolated pyramid-like [SnS3] units and one-dimensional ∞[SnGe2S8]6- infinite chains with two orientations formed by the corner-sharing connected [SnGe2S8]6- units. It has a band gap of 2.40 eV and is insensitive to air and moisture.

Abstract
Enhancement of birefringence is significant since the birefringent materials can create and control polarized light and be used extensively in various advanced optical systems. By optimizing the arrangement of [SbS3] units with stereo-chemical active lone pair electrons, a new quaternary thioantimonate LiSrSbS3 with a large birefringence has been successfully synthesized by a high temperature solid-state reaction method. LiSrSbS3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group of P21/c. In the structure, the isolated infinite [LiS4] chains and zigzag [SrS6] chains are alternately connected with each other to compose a three-dimensional (3D) framework, and the isolated pyramid [SbS3] units are located between them. To analyze the source of large birefringence, the electronic structure and optical properties of LiSrSbS3 were further investigated by the first-principles method, and the results show that the optimized arrangement [SbS3] trigonal pyramid induces a large birefringence.

Abstract
Infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are the major materials to widen the output range of solid-state lasers to mid-infrared regions, but they are still inadequate for application due to the difficulties in balancing the large band gaps and strong NLO response. The diamond-like structure is a potential structural template to explore IR NLO materials. Herein, a computational workflow is proposed for exploring compounds with diamond-like structures, a series of LiMgGaSe3 structures were predicted successfully through this workflow, and LiMgGaSe3-I-III exhibited good optical performances in a large band gap (2.75-2.92 eV), strong SHG response (1.2-1.3 × AGS), and suitable birefringence (0.0470-0.0783 at 1064 nm). The in-depth mechanism explorations strongly demonstrate that the synergistic effect of alkaline earth metal tetrahedral [MgSe4] and [GaSe4] units is the main origin of large SHG response. The foregoing results suggest that our workflow can accelerate the discovery of new mid-IR NLO materials with diamond-like structures.

Abstract
To design nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, we focused on combinations of d10 metal cation (Cd2+)-based chloride and morpholine molecules to form organic-inorganic hybrids. The O of morpholine containing lone-pair electrons can be integrated with Cd2+ by a ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) strategy to build acentric structures benefiting from the second-order Jahn-Teller effect. Introduction of the high-electronegativity chlorine can make polyhedrons of acentric crystals more distorted and conducive to a strong second harmonic generation (SHG) response. Therefore, (Morpholinium)2Cd2Cl6 crystals were constructed and synthesized by a solvent evaporation method. (Morpholinium)2Cd2Cl6 belongs to the orthorhombic P212121 space group and shows a one-dimensional (1D) structure with distorted [CdCl6] and [CdCl4O2] octahedrons. The short cutoff edge of (Morpholinium)2Cd2Cl6 was determined to be about 230 nm. The SHG response of (Morpholinium)2Cd2Cl6 exhibited an intensity of approximately 0.73 × KDP as estimated by the powder second harmonic generation technique. Furthermore, related theoretical calculations were performed to study the relationship of the band structure, refractive anisotropy, electronic state, and nonlinear optical response. Besides, (Morpholinium)2Cd2Cl6 showed relatively good thermal stability. This work can serve as a guide for the design and synthesis of new large NLO hybrid crystals with d10 transition metals.

Abstract
Second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have drawn enormous academic and technological attention attributable to their indispensable role in laser frequency conversion and other greatly facilitated applications. The exploration of new NLO materials with high performances thus has long been an intriguing research field for chemists and material scientists. However, an ideal NLO material should simultaneously satisfy quite a few fundamental yet rigorous criteria including a noncentrosymmetric structure, large NLO coefficients, desired transparent range, large birefringence, high laser damage threshold, and availability of a large-size single crystal. Therefore, the identification of promising compound systems, targeted design, and experience-based syntheses are crucial to discover novel NLO materials working in the spectral region of interest. As an important family of mixed-anion compounds, versatile metal oxyhalides containing metal-centered oxyhalide functional units ([MO m X n ] (X = F, Cl, Br, and I)) are becoming a marvelous branch for interesting NLO materials. Especially, when the central metals are d0/d10 transition metals or heavy post-transition metals, a number of novel NLO materials with superior functionalities are expected. Our thorough review on the recent achievements of metal oxyhalides for NLO materials are divided into the fast-growing NLO metal oxyhalides with single type halogen anions and the newly identified NLO metal oxyhalides with mixed halogen anions. Here we mainly focus on the design strategy, structural chemistry, NLO-related properties, and structure-property correlation of the metal oxyhalides with relatively large NLO responses. We hope this review can provide an insight on the rational design and future development of emerging metal oxyhalides for NLO and other applications.

Abstract
Second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are extensively applied in laser-related techniques. For developing IR NLO materials, chalcogenides are the main candidates. Here, NaGa3Se5 was explored as inspired by its unique anionic structure. It crystallizes with the orthorhombic chiral P212121 structure, featuring 12 types of GaSe4 tetrahedra built into a three-dimensional {[Ga3Se5]-}∞ anionic network, representing a new NLO-functional motif. NaGa3Se5 exhibits large and phase-matchable NLO response 1.37 × AgGaS2. It has the largest band gap among the noncentrosymmetric A-MIII-Se (A = alkali metal; M = Ga, In) compounds. The NLO properties' origin is explored via theoretical analysis. The success of NaGa3Se5 contributes a practical case for exploring new NLO materials.

Abstract
Multinary rare-earth chalcogenides with d-block transition metals have attracted considerable attention owing to their intriguing structural architectures and promising practical applications. In this work, three quaternary rare-earth sulfides, Ba4RE2Cd3S10 (RE = Sm, Gd, or Tb), have been obtained by the high-temperature solid-state method. These compounds are isostructural and belong to the noncentrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Cmc21 (No. 36). The basic structural unit contains unique two-dimensional anionic [RE2Cd3S10]8- layers, which are separated by Ba2+ cations. Remarkably, Ba4Sm2Cd3S10 exhibits a high second-harmonic-generation intensity (1.8 times that of AgGaS2) and a significantly higher laser-induced damage threshold (14.3 times that of AgGaS2), which is the first case possessing an infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) property in the quaternary AE/RE/TM/Q (AE = alkaline-earth metals; RE = rare-earth metals; TM = d-block transition metals; and Q = chalcogen) systems. Moreover, theoretical investigations of the structure-property relationship indicate that the combined action of various types of NLO-active units makes the main contribution to the SHG activity. This discovery may shed light on broadening the frontiers of IR-NLO materials.

Abstract
Infrared nonliear optical (IR NLO) materials are significant in laser technology for civil and military uses. Here, we report the synthesis, structural chemistry and NLO properties of a halogen-rich chalcohalide Sn7Br10S2. Its noncentrosymmetric (NCS, P63) structure can be considered as partially aliovalent anion substitution of SnBr2 (P63/m) induced centrosymmetric (CS) to NCS structural transformation. The 3D ∞[Sn(1)6Sn(2)6Br6X6]6- (X = Br/S) channel framework is consisting of Sn(1)BrX2 and Sn(2)X3 trigonal pyramids. It exhibits excellent NLO performances, including strong phase-matchable NLO response 1.5 × AgGaS2 and high laser-induced damage threshold 6.3 × AgGaS2. Structure-NLO performance relationship investigation confirm that the effective arrangement of Sn(1)BrX2 and Sn(2)X3 units predominantly contribute to the large SHG response. These results indicate Sn7Br10S2 is a potential IR NLO candidate, and provide a new feasible system as promising NLO materials.

A series of M6PS5X (M = Ag, Cu; X = Cl, Br) nonlinear optical (NLO) chalcohalides with special MS3X ligands have been synthesized in this work. Their critical optical performances were systematically measured and the research results show that all of them exhibit strong NLO responses (2.0-2.7 × commercial AgGaS2) and high laser-damage thresholds (1.7-2.3 × AgGaS2), indicating their potential application as good NLO candidates. Furthermore, first-principles calculations were used to study their inherent structure-property relationships and chalcohalides can be expected to be optimal systems for the exploration of new promising IR NLO crystals.

Abstract
The current research presents the synthesis of novel salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazones (1-6) and their spectroscopic characterization employing UV-visible, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and NMR techniques. Experimental results are compared and validated with the results obtained theoretically by employing density functional theory at the M06 level with the 6-311G (d,p) basis set. Further, various parameters [natural bond orbital (NBO)], linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, and global reactivity parameters (GRPs) are computationally calculated. The NBO approach has confirmed the stability of compounds on account of charge delocalization and hyper conjugative interaction network. Frontier molecular orbital analysis has explained the charge transfer and chemical reactivity capability, while GRPs have led to the analysis of kinetic stability of the studied molecules. Further, the probability of being NLO-active has been theoretically proved by the HOMO/LUMO energy difference (4.133-4.186 eV) and β values (192.778-501.709 a.u). These findings suggest that the studied compounds possess potential NLO applications as they have shown larger NLO values in comparison with that of the urea molecule, and such distinct properties prove their technological importance.

Abstract
Intense interests in mid-infrared (MIR) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals have erupted in recent years due to the development of optoelectronic applications ranging from remote monitoring to molecular spectroscopy. Here, two polar crystals Ca3(TeO3)2(MO4) (M = Mo, W) were grown from TeO2-MO3 flux by high-temperature solution methods. Ca3(TeO3)2(MoO4) and Ca3(TeO3)2(WO4) are isostructural, which feature novel structures consisting of asymmetric MO4 tetrahedra and TeO3 trigonal pyramids. Optical characterizations show that both crystals display ultrawide transparency ranges (279 nm to 5.78 μm and 290 nm to 5.62 μm), especially high optical transmittance over 80% in the important atmospheric transparent window of 3-5 μm, and superhigh laser damage thresholds (1.63 GW/cm2 and 1.50 GW/cm2), 54.3 and 50 times larger than that of state-of-the-art MIR NLO AgGaS2, respectively. Notably, they exhibit the widest band gaps and the loftiest laser-induced threshold damages among the reported tellurates so far. Moreover, Ca3(TeO3)2(MO4) exhibit type I phase matching at two working wavelengths owing to their large birefringence and strong second-harmonic generation responses from the distorted anions, as further elucidated by the first-principles calculations. The above characteristics indicate that Ca3(TeO3)2(MO4) crystals are high-performance MIR NLO materials, especially applying in high-power MIR laser operations.

Abstract
Infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are the core devices to realize IR laser output, which are of vital importance in civilian and military fields. Non-centrosymmetric chalcogenide and pnictide compounds have already been widely accepted as favorable systems for IR-NLO materials. Compared to the extensively investigated IR-NLO chalcogenides during the past few decades, the research of non-centrosymmetric phosphides as IR-NLO materials is relatively scarce. In this frontier article, the recent progress of pnictides as emerging IR-NLO candidates has been highlighted based on the perspective of new crystal exploration. These IR-NLO pnictides recently reported were divided into three groups from binary to quaternary according to their chemical compositions. The synthetic methods, structural chemistry, and structure-activity relationships are analyzed and summarized in detail. Finally, current problems and the future development of this field are also proposed.

Abstract
Two chalcogenophosphates, SnPS2.86Se0.14 (1) and SnPSe3 (2), are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic noncentrosymmetric space group Pn. Their three-dimensional (3D) structures are constructed by [Sn(1)Q8] hendecahedra and [Sn(2)Q8] dodecahedra by sharing Q vertices and edges, leaving cavities for isolated [P2Q6] (Q = S/Se, Se) dimers. A second-harmonic-generation (SHG) measurement indicates that 1 is phase-matchable with a response of approximately 1.2 × AgGaS2 (AGS), which is verified by the theoretical calculation result. The powder sample of 1 exhibits a high laser-induced damage threshold of 3.9 × AGS. For comparison, the known SnPS3 (3) was also synthesized and evaluated using the same method. The chemical composition-NLO performance relationship of 1-3 is also discussed. Dipole moment calculation results suggest that [SnQ8] polyhedra make the main contribution to their excellent nonlinear optical (NLO) performance.

Abstract
Birefringent materials are widely applied as photoelectric functional field devices to modulate the polarization of lasers. The introduction of a halogen into the structure of crystals could balance the relationship between the band gap Eg and nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficient owing to their outstanding electronegativity and control the optical anisotropy. In this work, the optical properties of phosphohalides α/β-Cd2P3X (X = Cl, Br, I) were studied. It was found that the birefringences of α/β-Cd2P3Cl (0.23/0.24 @ 1064 nm) are unexpectedly 8 times larger than those of α/β-Cd2P3I (0.04/0.03 @ 1064 nm). To find the optical property origins and explore the contributions of microscopic groups to the optical anisotropy and NLO responses in Cd-P-X (X = Cl, Br, I), the first-principles, real-space atom-cutting, and polarizability anisotropy analysis methods were used. This reveals that the electron distribution is susceptible to halogen electronegativity. Halogen atoms can modulate the polarization anisotropy of the active polyhedron and influence the birefringence significantly, owing to the synergistic effect of the anion size and strong covalent interactions between halogens and metal cations. This work clarifies the optical anisotropy origin mechanism and provides a general strategy for finding promising birefringent crystals in phosphohalide systems.

Abstract
A new ternary Ba-based selenide, Ba3SiSe5, was synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state method. It crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group Pnma (no. 62) of the orthorhombic system. The structure of the title compound consists of unique Se(4)Ba layers and discrete SiSe4 tetrahedra. The structure and computational properties of Ba3SiSe5 are systematically studied together with those of the Ba-MIV-Q (MIV = Si, Ge; Q = S, Se) system, and show an interesting difference in dimensions formed by one of the crystallographic Ba atoms and MIVQ4 tetrahedra, as well as optical property transformations modulated by MIV atoms. First principles methods were employed to obtain a better understanding of the relationship between structures and properties. Ba3SiSe5 maintains a moderate birefringence of 0.044@1064 nm and the real space atom cutting method indicates that the SiSe4 tetrahedra make the major contribution to its birefringence.

Abstract
In this study, seven derivatives of salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazones (1-7) were synthesized by refluxing substituted thiosemicarbazide and salicylaldehyde in an ethanol solvent. Different spectral techniques (UV-vis, IR, and NMR) were used to analyze the prepared compounds (1-7). Accompanied by the experimental study, quantum chemical studies were also carried out at the M06/6-311G(d,p) level. A comparative analysis of the UV-visible spectra and vibrational frequencies between computational and experimental findings was also performed. These comparative data disclosed that both studies were observed to be in excellent agreement. Furthermore, natural bond orbital investigations revealed that nonbonding transitions were significant for the stability of prepared molecules. In addition, frontier molecular orbital (FMO) findings described that a promising charge transfer phenomenon was found in 1-7. The energies of FMOs were further used to determine global reactivity parameters (GRPs). These GRP factors revealed that all synthesized compounds (1-7) contain a greater hardness value (η = 2.1 eV) and a lower softness value (σ = 0.24 eV), which indicated that these compounds were less reactive and more stable. Nonlinear optical (NLO) evaluation displayed that compound 5 consisted of greater values of linear polarizability ⟨α⟩ and third-order polarizability ⟨γ⟩ of 324.93 and 1.69 × 105 a.u., respectively, while compound 3 exhibited a larger value of second-order polarizability (βtotal) of 508.41 a.u. The NLO behavior of these prepared compounds may be significant for the hi-tech NLO applications.

Abstract
ConspectusSecond-harmonic-generation (SHG) causes the frequency doubling of light, which is very useful for generating high-energy lasers with specific wavelengths. Noncentrosymmetry (NCS) is the first requirement for an SHG process because the SHG coefficient is zero (χ2 = 0) in all centrosymmetric structures. At this stage, developing novel NCS crystals is a crucial scientific topic. Assembling polar units in an addictive fashion can facilely form NCS crystals with outstanding SHG performance. In this way, our group has obtained many different NCS crystals with extremely large SHG intensities (>5 × KDP or 1 × KTP). In this Account, we first provide a brief review of the development of SHG materials and concisely highlight the features of the excellent SHG materials. Then, we present four facile and rational molecular design strategies: (1) Traditional BO33--based crystals feature short absorption edges but usually suffer from relatively weak SHG performance (<5 × KDP). The combination of two types of pure π-conjugated anions (BO33- and NO3-) in a parallel fashion in the same compound has afforded a metal borate nitrate with a strong SHG effect. (2) To overcome the problems of the weak SHG effect and small birefringence in the less anisotropic QO4-based compounds, highly polarizable cations such as Hg2+ and Bi3+ are introduced into these systems, which greatly enhances both SHG effects and birefringence. (3) Iodate anions can be condensed into polynuclear iodate anions with a higher density of I5+ per unit cell, hence polyiodate anions can serve as excellent SHG-active groups. We developed a novel synthesis method for hydrothermal reactions under a phosphoric acid medium and obtained a series of metal polyiodates with strong SHG effects. In addition, as the number of iodate groups increases, the structural configuration of the polyiodate anion changes from linear to bent. (4) We introduce the concept of aliovalent substitution which features site-to-site atomic displacement at the structural level. Such aliovalent substitution led to new materials that have the same chemical stoichiometries or structural features as their parent compounds. Thus, aliovalent substitution can provide more experimental opportunities and afford new high-performance SHG materials. The introduction of a fluoride anion and the replacement of metal cations in the MO6 octahedron can result in new metal iodates with balanced properties including a large SHG effect, a wide band gap, and a high laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) value. Finally, we briefly discuss several problems associated with the studies of SHG materials and give some prospects for SHG materials in the future.

Abstract
The ternary thiophosphate PbPS3 was synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction using PbS, P and S. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the compound crystallizes in the P21/c space group. It features a three-dimensional structure, which consists of [PbS8] hendecahedra and isolated ethane-like [P2S6]4- units. PbPS3 can be easily obtained by different methods and shows high air stability, which is beneficial to its chemical synthesis and large-sized crystal growth. The crystal structure, optical properties and electronic structure of PbPS3 have been researched by experimental methods and first-principles calculations. The results show that PbPS3 has a moderate bandgap (Eg. exp. = 2.60 eV) and birefringence (Δncal. = 0.094@1064 nm), as well as a wide transparent range. Furthermore, to better understand the origin of the birefringence, structure comparisons and theoretical calculations were carried out. With a relatively high physicochemical stability and easy synthesis, PbPS3 can be expected to be a prospective birefringent material.
