Abstract
Rare-earth (RE)-based frustrated magnets are fertile playgrounds for discovering exotic quantum phenomena and exploring adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration applications. Here, we report the synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of a family of rare-earth cyanurates RE5(C3N3O3)(OH)12 (RE = Gd-Lu) with an acentric space group P6̅2m. Magnetic susceptibility χ(T) and isothermal magnetization M(H) measurements manifest that RE5(C3N3O3)(OH)12 (RE = Gd, Dy-Yb) compounds exhibit no magnetic ordering down to 2 K, while Tb5(C3N3O3)(OH)12 shows long-range magnetic ordering around 3.6 K. Among them, magnetically frustrated spin-7/2 Gd5(C3N3O3)(OH)12 shows long-range magnetic ordering around 1.25 K and a large magnetocaloric effect with a maximum magnetic entropy change ΔSm of up to 58.1 J kg-1 K-1 at ΔH = 7 T at liquid-helium temperature regimes.

Abstract
Birefringent crystals can manipulate the phase and polarization of light, so they are widely used as essential components in various optical devices. Common strategies to construct birefringent crystals are introducing metal cations that are either able to realize favorable coordination with functional anionic units or are susceptible to polarizability anisotropy. Herein, we report a metal-free crystal, NH4(H2C6N7O3)·2H2O, synthesized using the facile solution method. In the crystal structure of NH4(H2C6N7O3)·2H2O, (H2C6N7O3)- functional units are assembled in an optimal manner by cooperative non-covalent interactions, i.e., hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions. As a result, this metal-free crystal possesses exceptional birefringence up to 0.54@550 nm, which is larger than those of most metal-containing birefringent crystals. In addition, the interference color of this crystal does not change obviously from 243 K to 313 K, indicating that the birefringence is robust at different temperatures. This work will inspire useful insights into the role of non-covalent interactions in designing outstanding birefringent crystals for efficient polarized optical devices.

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
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
In this study, we successfully synthesized two types of new chiral amino acid-templated tin fluoride crystals: (R)-[(C8H10NO3)2]Sn(IV)F6, (S)-[(C8H10NO3)2]Sn(IV)F6, (R)-[C8H10NO3]Sn(II)F3, and (S)-[C8H10NO3]Sn(II)F3, employing a slow evaporation method. The crystal structures of Sn(IV)-compounds were determined to belong to the noncentrosymmetric (NCS) nonpolar space group, P21212. Conversely, the structures of Sn(II)-compounds were found to crystallize in the NCS polar space group, P21, as revealed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Remarkably, Sn(IV)-compounds exhibited a larger birefringence (0.328@546.1 nm), attributed to the well-stacked arrangement of planar π-conjugated benzene rings along the b-axis. The ability of tin(IV) fluorides to form more hydrogen bonds with ligands increased the probability of π-π interactions between benzene rings, enabling the growth of centimeter-sized crystals in Sn(IV)-compounds. In contrast, Sn(II)-compounds displayed a stronger second-harmonic generation (SHG) response (0.85 × KDP) than Sn(IV)-compounds (0.46 × KDP). This enhanced SHG response in Sn(II)-compounds was attributed to the increased dipole moments resulting from the presence of lone pairs. Additionally, Sn(II)-compounds exhibited photoluminescent properties due to the transition from the metal-to-ligand charge transfer state, facilitated by the presence of the lone pairs.

Abstract
ConspectusThe invention of the laser is a pivotal milestone in the evolution of modern science and technology. Second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals, which possess the ability to convert frequencies, have found widespread applications in laser science, information transmission, industrial Internet, and other cutting-edge fields within materials and optics. As modern science and technology continue to advance at a rapid pace, existing ultraviolet (UV) and deep ultraviolet (DUV) NLO crystals struggle to meet the ever-growing demands of various applications. Consequently, the development of novel UV and DUV NLO crystals has become an urgent necessity. For a UV NLO crystal to be considered outstanding in the UV/DUV range, it must exhibit three fundamental yet crucial properties: large second-order NLO coefficients, suitable birefringence, and short UV cutoff edge corresponding to a wide band gap. However, these key factors often conflict with one another, making it challenging to achieve a harmonious balance within a single crystal. It is widely believed that these mutually constrained optical properties are codetermined by microscopic NLO-active units and macroscopic structure features. Therefore, how to design high performance UV NLO-active groups to balance these three key properties is an essential scientifically question and serious challenge. In this Account, we present three strategies for designing high-performance UV NLO-active groups: (1) The "tetrahedron partial substitution" strategy by employing various substituents to replace one or more atoms in the traditional nonpolar tetrahedral groups, might achieve the aim of increasing the polarizability anisotropy and hyperpolarizability of the newly formed polar tetrahedral functional groups, such as from SO4 to SO3NH2 or SO3CH3 groups. (2) The "structure-analogue" strategy to develop a range of organic functional groups exhibiting more strong polarizability anisotropy and hyperpolarizability by using inorganic π-conjugated groups, such as BO3 and B3O6 groups, as templates. (3) The "two in one" strategy for integrating groups featuring planar triangle configurations and tetrahedrons to create NLO-active functional groups possessing large band gaps, strong hyperpolarizability, and moderate polarizability anisotropy. These three strategies successfully guide us to design and explore various kinds of organic-inorganic composite NLO crystal materials with excellent performances, like Ba(SO3CH3)2, M(SO3NH2)2 (M = Sr, Ba), C(NH2)3SO3F, KLi(HC3N3O3)·2H2O, KLi(C3H2O4)·H2O, and so on. Finally, we briefly conclude these strategies and propose some prospects for exploring new excellent UV/DUV NLO materials with practical applications. These findings could inspire novel thoughts for researchers designing new UV/DUV NLO materials and providing abundant materials used in UV/DUV regions.

Abstract
Borate materials continue to command considerable attention due to their remarkable capacity for applications in deep ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths. Herein, two new metal borates KSrM3B2O9 (M = Al and Ga) were extracted via the application of flux techniques. These two crystals adopt a centrosymmetric space group P21/c (no. 14), showcasing a layered structural configuration composed of isolated [BO3] plane triangles and [AlO4]/[GaO4] tetrahedra. Thermal analysis revealed that KSrM3B2O9 (M = Al and Ga) exhibits an incongruent nature and possesses good thermal stability up to 1083 and 983 °C, respectively. Notably, these compounds display a short UV-transmission cutoff edge, approximately around 194 and 200 nm, accompanied by band gaps of 5.47 and 4.83 eV, respectively. Furthermore, KSrM3B2O9 (M = Al and Ga) demonstrates a moderate optical birefringence of 0.026 and 0.025, respectively. Additionally, first-principles calculations were employed to shed light on the intricate interplay between the structure and properties of these compounds.

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
In this study, we identify a novel class of second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals, non-π-conjugated piperazine (H10C4N2, PIP) metal halides, represented by two centimeter-sized, noncentrosymmetric organic-inorganic metal halides (OIMHs), namely H12C4N2CdI4 (P212121) and H11C4N2CdI3 (Cc). H12C4N2CdI4 is the first to be prepared, and its structure contains a CdI4 tetrahedron, which led to a poor NLO performance, including a weak and non-phase-matchable second harmonic generation (SHG) response of 0.5 × KH2PO4 (KDP), a small birefringence of 0.047 @1064 nm and a narrow bandgap of 3.86 eV. Moreover, H12C4N2CdI4 is regarded as the model compound, and we further obtain H11C4N2CdI3via the replacement of CdI4 with a highly polarizable CdNI3 tetrahedron, which results in a sharp enhancement of SHG response and birefringence. H11C4N2CdI3 exhibits a promising NLO performance including 6 × KDP, 4.10 eV, Δn = 0.074 @1064 nm and phase matchability, indicating that it is the first OIMH to simultaneously exhibit strong SHG response (>5 × KDP) and a wide bandgap (>4.0 eV). Our work presents a novel direction for designing high-performance NLO crystals based on organic-inorganic halides and provides important insights into the role of the hybridized tetrahedron in enhancing the SHG response and birefringence.

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
A new birefringent crystal of Sb4O3(TeO3)2(HSO4)(OH) was achieved by incorporating two stereochemically active lone pair (SCALP) cations of Sb(III) and Te(IV) into sulfates simultaneously. The Sb3+ and Te4+ ions display highly distorted coordination environments due to the SCALP effect. Sb4O3(TeO3)2(HSO4)(OH) displays a 3D structure composed of [Sb4O3(TeO3)2(OH)]∞+ layers bridged by [SO3(OH)]- tetrahedra. It possesses a large birefringence and a wide optical transparent range, making it a new UV birefringent crystal. First-principles calculation analysis suggests that the synergistic effect of the cooperation of SCALP effect of Sb3+ and Te4+ cations make a dominant contribution to the birefringence. The work highlights that units with SCALP cations have advantages in generating large optical anisotropy and are preferable structural units for designing novel birefringent materials.

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
Common nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals consist of traditional functional building blocks with inherent optical limitation. Herein, inspired by traditional (B3 O6 )3- inorganic building block, we theoretically identified a new type of organic functional building blocks and then successfully synthesized the first cyamelurate NLO crystal, Ba(H2 C6 N7 O3 )2 ⋅ 8 H2 O. To our surprise, the constituent (H2 C6 N7 O3 )- building block is not in structurally optimal arrangement, but Ba(H2 C6 N7 O3 )2 ⋅ 8 H2 O exhibits excellent optical properties including wide band gap of 4.10 eV, very large birefringence of 0.24@550 nm, and exceptionally strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) response of about 12×KH2 PO4 . Both the SHG response and birefringence are much larger than those of commercial NLO crystal β-BaB2 O4 with optimally aligned (B3 O6 )3- building block. Theoretical calculations suggest that the expanded π-conjugation delocalization within (H2 C6 N7 O3 )- vs (B3 O6 )3- should be responsible to the enhanced performance. This work implies that there is still much room to develop new NLO crystals with excellent functional building blocks that may be longly neglected.

Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal, which simultaneously exhibits strong second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response and desired optical anisotropy, is a core optical material accessible to the modern optoelectronics. Accompanied by strong SHG effect in a NLO crystal, a contradictory problem of overlarge birefringence is ignored, leading to low frequency doubling efficiency and poor beam quality. Herein, a series of rare earth cyanurates RE5 (C3 N3 O3 )(OH)12 (RE=Y, Yb, Lu) were successfully characterized by 3D electron diffraction technique. Based on a "three birds with one stone" strategy, they enable the simultaneous fulfillment of strong SHG responses (2.5-4.2× KH2 PO4 ), short UV cutoff (ca. 220 nm) and applicable birefringence (ca. 0.15 at 800 nm) by the introduction of rare earth coordination control of π-conjugated (C3 N3 O3 )3- anions. These findings provide high-performance short-wavelength NLO materials and highlight the exploration of cyanurates as a new research area.

Abstract
Studies on new functional structural units with both large hyperpolarizability and high anisotropy are essentially important for finding high-performance nonlinear optical (NLO) materials and enriching the material systems. Under the guidance of the "structure-analogue" strategy, the work utilizes the molecular engineering approach to direct the construction of target units, BC2N5O2 and B(C2N5)2 units. The BC2N5O2 unit with a highly analogous structure to the B3O7 group and its derivate B(C2N5)2 unit with a configuration of B5O10 group are designed as NLO-active units. Furthermore, two compounds with these new NLO-active units, BC2N5H6(OH)2·H2O (I) and B(C2N5H6.5)2(NO3)2 (II), are synthesized, successfully. These compounds exhibit excellent properties with second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses ranging from 0.5 to 5.9 times that of KDP and large birefringence (ΔnI = 0.181 @ 546.1 nm and ΔnII = 0.148 @ 546.1 nm). Theoretical calculations prove that the BC2N5O2 and B(C2N5)2 units make great contributions to the SHG effects and birefringence, which confirms that the BC2N5O2 and B(C2N5)2 units are novel NLO bifunctional units and could be excellent fundamental building blocks to construct amounts of novel NLO and birefringence crystals. Our studies would enlighten the research studies on biguanide complexes of boron.

Abstract
The combination of d0 transition metal oxofluorides with iodate anions helps to synthesize polar crystals. Herein, a novel polar crystal, K3V2O3F4(IO3)3, which is the first metal vanadium iodate with two types of V5+-centered polyhedra (VO4F2 octahedron and VO3F2 trigonal bipyramid), has been prepared hydrothermally. It crystallizes in the polar space group of Cmc21 and its structure displays an unprecedented 0D [V2O3F4(IO3)3]3- anion, which is composed of Λ-shaped cis-[VO2F2(IO3)2]3- and [VO2F2(IO3)]2- anions interconnected via the corner-sharing of one oxo anion. The synergy gained from the VO4F2, VO3F2 and IO3 groups resulted in K3V2O3F4(IO3)3 exhibiting both a strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) response (1.3 × KTiOPO4) under 2050 nm laser irradiation and a large birefringence (0.158 @ 2050 nm). This study provides a facile route for designing SHG materials by assembling various vanadium oxide-fluoride motifs and iodate anions into one compound.

Abstract
Benefiting from the planar π-conjugated (HxC3N3O3)x-3 (x = 0-3) groups, cyanurate crystals have recently become a research hotspot in birefringent materials. Herein, by combining the (HxC3N3O3)x-3 (x = 0-3) group with the (CN3H6)+ cationic group, two metal-free cyanurates, GU(H2C3N3O3) (I) and GU3(H2C3N3O3)3(H3C3N3O3) (II), were obtained by the hydrothermal method. These compounds have wide band gaps (∼5 eV) and a large birefringence (∼0.40@400 nm), demonstrating their potential to be ultraviolet birefringent crystals. Moreover, first-principles calculations indicate that their large birefringence values originated from the synergistic effect of the (CN3H6)+ cations and (HxC3N3O3)x-3 (x = 0-3) groups. These findings provide a new design strategy for exploring low-cost UV birefringent crystals with a large birefringence.

Abstract
The indispensable condition for laser frequency-doubling crystal materials is that they crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric (NCS) structures. Here, ternary NCS Ba6In2S10 (1) and Ba6In2Se10 (2) (P63) were synthesized via conventional solid-state reactions. Their zero-dimensional structures feature isolated InQ4 tetrahedra and Q22- (Q = S, Se) dimers that are separated by Ba2+ counter cations. The structural relevance and differences with the centrosymmetric Ba12In4S19 and Ba12In4Se20 are analyzed in detail. Both 1 and 2 show obvious laser frequency-doubling activity, and their optical band gaps are 3.72 and 1.78 eV, respectively. This work provides a new type of IR nonlinear-optical materials.

Abstract
Birefringent crystals with strong anisotropy are important components in modern optical devices. The newly discovered planar π-conjugated cyanurate group (HxC3N3O3)x-3 (x = 0-3) has been demonstrated as an effective functional motif for improving birefringence in the ultraviolet region. Here, single co-crystals of alkali halide cyanurates, RbBr·(H3C3N3O3) (I), RbI·(H3C3N3O3) (II), and CsBr·(H3C3N3O3) (III) were synthesized by the ethanol solution method, and NaBr·(H3C3N3O3) (IV) was obtained via the solvent-drop grinding method. These four co-crystals feature a planar (H3C3N3O3) arrangement and exhibit wide band gaps (> 4.90 eV), tunable birefringence (Δnexp∼ 0.124-0.256), and high thermal stability (156 °C-349 °C). In addition, first principles calculations were also carried out to evaluate the relationship between molecule density, spatial arrangement and optical birefringence, and suggested a great tailoring effect of the alkali metal and halogen species on regulating the optical anisotropy of co-crystal cyanurates.

Abstract
Cyanurate crystals have recently become a research hot spot in birefringent materials owing to the large structural and optical anisotropy of the planar π-conjugated (HxC3N3O3)x-3 (x = 0-3) groups. In this study, two new Zn-based cyanurate crystals, Zn5(OH)4(C3N3O3)2 and MgZn4(OH)4(C3N3O3)2, were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. In Zn5(OH)4(C3N3O3)2, the d10 Zn2+ cations have three different coordinating environments, which has never been found in cyanurates. These compounds have wide band gaps (∼5 eV) and large birefringence (∼0.32 at 400 nm), indicating their potential as ultraviolet birefringence crystals.
