Abstract
Noncentrosymmetric chalcogenides are promising candidates for infrared nonlinear-optical (NLO) crystals, and exploring high-performance ones is a hot topic and challengeable. Herein, the combination of AgQ4, InQ4, and SiQ4 (Q = S, Se) units with different S/Se ratios resulted in the discovery of the tetrahedral chalcogenides Ag2In2SiS4Se2 (1) and Ag2In2SiS5Se (2). They both crystallize in the monoclinic Cc space group with different local structures. Co-occupied S/Se sites only exist in 2, and the arrangement of [In2SiQ3] six-membered rings builds different helical chains and 3D [(In2SiQ6)2-]n polyanionic frameworks in 1 and 2. They show balanced NLO performances, including phase-matchable moderate NLO responses (0.7 and 0.5 × AGS) and enhanced laser-induced damage thresholds (4.5 and 5.1 × AGS). Theoretical calculations reveal that their NLO responses are predominantly contributed by the AgQ4 and InQ4 units.

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

Abstract
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
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
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
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
By introducing enantiomerically pure mono-bidentate N-donor ligands (LR/LS) into Yb(btfa)3(H2O)2 and Yb(dbm)3(H2O), respectively, two pairs of chiral YbIII enantiomers, namely Yb(btfa)3LR/Yb(btfa)3LS (D-1/L-1) and [Yb(dbm)3LR]·[Yb(dbm)3(C2H5OH)]/[Yb(dbm)3LS]·[Yb(dbm)3(C2H5OH)] (D-2/L-2) were isolated, where btfa- = 3-benzoyl-1,1,1-trifluoroacetonate, dbm- = dibenzoylmethanate, and LR/LS = (-)/(+)-4,5-pinenepyridyl-2-pyrazine. D-1/L-1 possess mononuclear structures in which the YbIII ions are eight-coordinated, while D-2/L-2 show cocrystal structures containing Yb(dbm)3(LR/LS) and Yb(dbm)3(C2H5OH) moieties in which the two YbIII ions are eight and seven-coordinated, respectively. They not only feature different molecular structures but also present distinct linear and nonlinear optical performances. Chiral mononuclear D-1 has better near infrared photo-luminescence (NIR-PL) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) performances than chiral cocrystal D-2. More remarkably, D-1/L-1 show large second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses (up to 1.25/1.28 × KDP) 18/16 times those of D-2/L-2 (0.07/0.08 × KDP). In addition, D-2/L-2 represent the first examples of lanthanide cocrystal complexes with NIR-PL, NIR-CPL and SHG properties.

Abstract
Due to the wide range of applications of band-gap engineering in optoelectronics and photocatalysis, the rational design of polyoxometalate (POM) frameworks is highly desired. Here, we have successfully synthesized a series of mixed addenda (Mo and W) sandwich POMs by systematically varying pH, concentrations of salts, and counterions in Weakley-type sandwich POMs by incorporating Mo into the framework of tetrasubstituted sandwich POMs. Crystallographic analysis reveals the centrosymmetric structure; with variation in the Mo to W ratio, Mo preferentially binds to μ2 oxygen connected to transition metals in the sandwich position. UV-visible spectroscopy, electrochemical, and theoretical modeling rationalize the band-gap modulations. Theoretical studies and cyclic voltammograms indicate that during the reduction, the incoming electrons preferentially go to substituted transition metals followed by Mo. Flat band potential calculated from the Mott-Schottky enables tuning of the electronic properties of composites based on these sandwich POMs. Moreover, the dioxygen binding and activation studies of these polyoxometalates have been highlighted.

Abstract
The ability to conceptually mimic biomolecules to construct emergency-functional homospiral aggregates remains a long-standing challenge. Herein, we report artificial homohelical assembly by blending inorganic polyoxometalates (POMs) and organic cyclodextrin molecules. The chiral double-helical chains have been achieved by a left-hand arrangement of trimer-trimer. The trimer is formed by three {Mo8}@α-CD inclusive complexes as a Whittaker-style paddle wheel. During the process of assembly, chiral transfer and amplification from molecule to superstructure were observed. The enantioselective adsorption of the homohelical aggregate toward (R/S)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine was further demonstrated. The interaction of {Mo8} and α-CD in solution was investigated. This work opens a wide scope for the design of a homohelix, enriching POM-based inorganic-organic materials.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal chalcogenides (2D TMCs) like MoS2, WS2 etc., have established significant dominance in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, owing to their unique properties like strong light-matter interaction, high carrier mobility, large photo-responsivity etc. Despite the widespread utilization of these binary TMCs, their potential in the advancement of the optoelectronic research is limited due to the constraints in band tuning and charge carrier lifetime. To overcome these limitations, ternary transition metal chalcogenides have emerged as promising alternatives. Although, the optical properties of these materials have never been explored properly. Herein, we have investigated one such promising member of this group, Cu2MoS4 (CMS) using both steady state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. The material exhibits a broad range of visible light absorption, peaking at 576 nm. Photoluminescence spectroscopy confirmed the presence of both band gap emission and trap state-mediated emissions. Transient absorption spectroscopy unraveled the excited state charge carrier dynamics of CMS in sub-ps timescale, upon irradiation of visible light. We found significant influence of the trap mediated recombination, while Auger process being dominant at high charge density. We extended our study in a wide temperature range (5-300 K), which reveals the impact of electron-phonon coupling strength on the band gap and charge carrier dynamics of this material. This detailed study would draw more attention toward the unexplored optical properties of ternary 2D chalcogenides and will open new avenues for the construction of 2D material-based optical devices.

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
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
Metal sulfides with diamond-like (DL) structures generally exhibit excellent mid-IR nonlinear-optical (NLO) properties. Here, Cu2GeS3 (CGS) as a member of the DL chalcogenides was synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state method, and the optical properties were carefully studied experimentally and theoretically. The results revealed that CGS has a large second harmonic generation (0.8 × AgGaSe2) and a moderate birefringence of 0.067 at 1064 nm. In addition, the linear and NLO properties of the A2MS3 (A = Cu, Li; M = Ge, Si) series of compounds were evaluated and compared with the help of first-principles calculations.

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
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
At different reaction temperatures, using Cu(NO3)2·3H2O to react with enantiomerically pure N-donor ligands (LS/LR), respectively, two pairs of chiral one-dimensional (1D) CuII chain enantiomers formulated as [Cu(μ2-NO3)(NO3)(LS)]n/[Cu(μ2-NO3)(NO3)(LR)]n (S-1-Cu/R-1-Cu, formed at 40 °C with an NO3- group as a sole bridging ligand) and [Cu(μ2-LS)(NO3)2]n/[Cu(μ2-LR)(NO3)2]n (S-2-Cu/R-2-Cu, formed at 25 °C with LS or LR as a bridging ligand) were prepared, where LS/LR = (+)/(-)-4,5-pinenepyridyl-2-pyrazine. Interestingly, such a disparity in bridging ligands leads not only to their distinct structural features but also to their completely different magnetic couplings together with a large difference in their nonlinear optical responses. S-1-Cu with a 1D helical structure shows weak ferromagnetic coupling between CuII ions, while S-2-Cu with a 1D stairway-like structure presents weak antiferromagnetic coupling. In particular, they simultaneously possess both second- and third-harmonic generation (SHG and THG) responses in one molecule with large strength differences. More remarkably, S-1-Cu exhibits a very large THG response (162 × α-SiO2), which is 22.5 times that of S-2-Cu, and the SHG strength of S-1-Cu is more than 3 times that of S-2-Cu. This work demonstrates that reaction temperature has a great impact on the self-assembled structures of coordination polymers and subsequently results in their large performance differences.

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
Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are of importance on extending infrared (IR) laser wavelengths. Considering their performance drawbacks in commercial IR NLO crystals, a recent challenge in exploring new excellent IR NLO crystals is how to break the inherent conflict between a wide bandgap (Eg ≥ 3.0 eV) and large NLO effect (dij ≥ 0.5 × AgGaS2) and simultaneously enlarge the birefringence (Δn) for a requisite phase-matching (PM) behavior. For that reason, rational combination of mixed-anion functional groups into a crystal structure affords the successful design and synthesis of six LnMGa3S6O (Ln = La, Pr, and Nd; M = Ca and Sr) NLO oxysulfides. Among them, LaMGa3S6O satisfy the property-balance demand (Eg: 3.21-3.27 eV and dij: 0.9-1.0 × AgGaS2) as promising PM NLO crystals through gathering their property advantages between LaMGa3O7 and LaMGa3S7 by mixed-anion-oriented performance engineering. A study on the structure-property relationship indicates that heteroleptic (Ln/M)S7O and GaS3O anionic groups are proven as promising NLO-active units and offer a great synergistic effect on the NLO origin. This work as a visualized model not only provides a first clear cognition on varying properties from oxide to sulfide to oxysulfide but also highlights the feasibility of mixed-anion-oriented design of new NLO candidates with balanced performances.

Abstract
Metal chalcogenophosphates are receiving increasing interest, specifically as promising infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) candidates. Here, a rare-earth chalcogenophosphate Eu2 P2 S6 crystallizing in the monoclinic noncentrosymmetric space group Pn was synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state method. Its structure features isolated [P2 S6 ]4- dimer, and two types of EuS8 bicapped triangular prisms. Eu2 P2 S6 exhibits a phase-matchable second-harmonic generation (SHG) response ≈0.9×AgGaS2 @2.1 μm, and high laser-induced damage threshold of 3.4×AgGaS2 , representing the first rare-earth NLO chalcogenophosphate. The theoretical calculation result suggests that the SHG response is ascribed to the synergetic contribution of [P2 S6 ]4- dimers and EuS8 bicapped triangular prisms. This work provides not only a promising high-performance infrared NLO material, but also opens the avenue for exploring rare-earth chalcogenophosphates as potential IR NLO materials.

Abstract
Multifunctional multinary metal chalcogenides have long been a research hotspot in the field of materials chemistry due to their rich composition, flexible structure, excellent properties and wide range of applications. However, the exploration of complex quinary chalcogenides is still challenging. In this work, for the first time, we have developed the controlled synthesis of quinary Cu3NiInSnS6 nanocrystals, realizing the selective preparation of hexagonal wurtzite and cubic zinc blende metastable phases by simply tuning the sulfur source. The phase structure analysis reveals that both metastable phases possess a disordered structure with a random distribution of metal atoms in the unit cells. The fabricated wurtzite and zinc blende-structure Cu3NiInSnS6 nanocrystals have a direct band gap of 1.82 and 1.94 eV, respectively, and both exhibit superparamagnetic behavior at low temperatures. This work is of great significance for the development of novel multifunctional materials based on metastable multinary metal chalcogenide phases.

Abstract
Chalcogenide borates have been developed and are considered an attractive system due to their favorable physical properties such as magnetism and nonlinear optical effects. Here, isostructural RE6Nb2MgSB8O26 (RE = La-Nd) compounds in the title family have been obtained through cation regulation in rare-earth and VB group metals. This family crystalizes in the centrosymmetric P3̅ space group and features 3D frameworks formed by {[Mg(NbB4O13)2]16-}∞ polyanionic layers and QRE6 octahedra. The structural chemistry was characterized and theoretical calculations were performed to understand the structural merit of this family. In addition, RE6Nb2MgSB8O26 possess the largest band gaps among known rare-earth chalcogenide borates, and they all show antiferromagnetic-like behaviors.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic metal halides (HOMHs) have recently attracted broad research interest for their structural tunability and remarkable optoelectronic properties. Among them, chiral HOMHs have demonstrated promising applications in second-order nonlinear optics (NLO) on account of their inherent noncentrosymmetric structures. Herein, we synthesized two new chiral HOMHs, (S-/R-2-C5H14N2)2PbI6, based on S-/R-2-methylpiperazine chiral amines. They feature a band gap close to 2.9 eV with high phase purity as well as environmental and thermal stability. The induction of the chiral optical properties of (S-/R-2-C5H14N2)2PbI6 by chiral organic cations was verified by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Moreover, the resulted HOMHs materials demonstrate a strong second harmonic generation response with a large laser damage threshold (∼2.97 mJ cm-2), showing promising applications in NLO photonic devices.

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

Abstract
Design and fabrication of new infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials with balanced properties are urgently needed since commercial chalcopyrite-like (CL) NLO crystals are suffering from their intrinsic drawbacks. Herein, the first defect-CL (DCL) alkali-earth metal (AEM) selenide IR NLO material, DCL-MgGa2 Se4 , has been rationally designed and fabricated by a structure prediction and experiment combined strategy. The introduction of AEM tetrahedral unit MgSe4 effectively widens the band gap of DCL compounds. The title compound exhibits a wide band gap of 2.96 eV, resulting in a high laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) of ≈3.0 × AgGaS2 (AGS). Furthermore, the compound shows a suitable second harmonic generation (SHG) response (≈0.9 × AGS) with a type-I phase-matching (PM) behavior and a wide IR transparent range. The results indicate that DCL-MgGa2 Se4 is a promising mid-to-far IR NLO material and give some insights into the design of new CL compound with outstanding IR NLO properties based on the AEM tetrahedra and the structure predication and experiment combined strategy.

Abstract
Mixed mercury(II) halogenides have been known for a long time as good NLO (non-linear optic) materials. The NLO properties are due to the halogen disposition in the solid state and the electron distribution among the bonds formed by soft elements. We investigated the possibility of using HgBrI as a asymmetric tecton in the preparation of noncentrosymmetric crystalline compounds, by exploiting the coordinating power of Hg(II) toward N-donor ligands, and seven coordination complexes have been obtained. To unravel the nature of these complex systems we combined the data from different techniques: Raman spectroscopy, SC-XRD and Second Harmonic Generation, supported by a periodic DFT computational approach. In HgBrI crystalline products with low symmetry, the presence of substitutional disorder leads to a lack of the inversion center conferring NLO activity, which is absent in analogous complexes of Hg(II) halogenides. These results indicate HgBrI as an interesting tecton to obtain metallorganic NLO materials.

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
The phase matching ability is a key factor for nonlinear optical crystals to realize coherent output. Herein, a new design strategy combining ultraviolet and infrared functional groups into a ferroelectric was put forward. Thus, a phosphogermanate crystal, KGeOPO4, was designed and studied. It exhibits a wide transparency window (0.22-9.70 μm), a strong second harmonic generation response (5× KH2PO4), a high laser-induced damage threshold (1.61 GW/cm2), and the typical ferroelectricity (coercive field ∼ 9.8 kV/cm and remnant polarization ∼7.6 μC/cm2). In the infrared region, it could realize coherent output by the birefringence phase matching method, while it could generate ultraviolet coherent lights by the quasi-phase matching technique. Therefore, this work designs a promising ultraviolet-infrared nonlinear optical crystal and provides a new perspective for exploring nonlinear optical crystals.

Abstract
The nonlinear-optical (NLO) materials with second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response need to crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric space group. It is very difficult to control the synthetic conditions to solely form a noncentrosymmetric phase for the materials with noncentrosymmetric and centrosymmetric conformations. Herein, we found that the temperature and halogen anion play an important role during the formation procedure of the pure noncentrosymmetric or centrosymmetric phase for the halogen-based family of coordination polymers to yield hybrid materials with a phase-matching SHG response as well as inherit the primary excellent photonic property of organic linkers. Our results provide a good choice for the design and construction of novel materials with a particular photonic property.

The crystal structures of the Ba6(CuxZy)Sn4S16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi, Sn) compounds were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction with the aid of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The Ba6(CuxZy)Sn4S16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi) compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the Ba6Ag4Sn4S16 structure type. The Sn-containing compound exhibits high structural similarity to Ba6(CuxZy)Sn4S16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi) with the presence of an interstitial atomic position partially occupied by Sn atoms. The chemical bonding characteristics of Ba6(Cu2.9Sn0.4)Sn4S16 were understood with electron localization function calculations coupled with crystal orbital Hamilton population calculations. The Ba-S and Cu-S interactions are dominantly ionic, but the Sn-S interactions consist of strong covalent bonding characteristics in Ba6(Cu2.9Sn0.4)Sn4S16. The monovalent Cu atoms, mixed with certain metals with various oxidation states, significantly shift the optical properties of the Ba6(CuxZy)Sn4S16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi) compounds. This results in a good balance between the second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response and laser damage threshold (LDT). Ba6(Cu1.9Zn1.1)Sn4S16 possesses a high SHG response and a high LDT of 2.8 × AGS and 3 × AGS, respectively. A density functional theory calculation revealed that CuS4 and SnS4 tetrahedra significantly contribute to the SHG response in Ba6(Cu2Mg)Sn4S16, which also confirmed that CuS4 tetrahedra are crucial for the stability and optical properties of the Ba6(CuxZy)Sn4S16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi, Sn) compounds revealed by electronic structure analysis.

Abstract
The exploration of A-Mo-P-O (A = Rb, Cs) systems has allowed several new Mo(V) phosphates, Rb2MoP2O9, Rb6Mo2P4O19 and Cs6Mo2P4O19, to be synthesized through the spontaneous nucleation method. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the identical stoichiometry compounds Rb2MoP2O9 and Cs2MoP2O9 belong to different space groups C2/c and Pbca, respectively. Both compounds consist of dissimilar 1D [Mo-O-P]∞ chains with different repeated building units, while monovalent cations fill in spaces to form 3D structures. However, Rb6Mo2P4O19 and Cs6Mo2P4O19 are isostructural and crystallize in the same space group of P21/c. They exhibit a 3D framework structure with 0D Mo2O5O6P4O8 groups, which are separated by Rb/Cs atoms. Interestingly, structural relationships between the different monophosphates of the A-Mo-P-O (A = Rb, Cs) systems are presented in which distinct polyanionic configurations appear owing to the A/P ratios, as well as the size of the univalent cations. Further, detailed structural comparisons, optical properties and theoretical calculations are also discussed.

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.
