Abstract
Four heteroanionic oxyhalides, CeClMoO4, CeBrMoO4, CeClWO4, and CeBrWO4, have been studied as multifunctional materials, which show a combination of good second harmonic generation (SHG) response and photocurrent signals. Millimeter-sized CeHaVIO4 (Ha = Cl, Br; VI = Mo, W) crystals were grown by halide salt flux. The crystal structure of CeHaVIO4 crystals was accurately determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. CeClMoO4, CeBrMoO4, and CeBrWO4 are isostructural to each other, and crystallize in the acentric LaBrMoO4 structure type. CeClWO4 crystallizes in a new structure type with unit cell parameters of a = 19.6059(2) Å, b = 5.89450(10) Å, c = 7.80090(10) Å, and β = 101.4746(8)°. The bandgaps of CeHaVIO4 fall into the range of 2.8(1)-3.1(1) eV, which are much smaller than those of isotypic LaHaVIO4 (Ha = Cl, Br; VI = Mo, W) in the range of 3.9(1)-4.3(1) eV. The narrowing of bandgaps in CeHaVIO4 originates from the presence of partially filled 4f orbitals of cerium atoms, which was confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The moderate bandgaps make CeHaVIO4 suitable for infrared nonlinear optical (IR NLO) applications. CeBrMoO4 and CeBrWO4 exhibit moderate SHG responses of 0.58× AGS and 0.46× AGS, respectively, and are both type-I phase-matching materials. Moderate SHG response, easy growth of crystals, high ambient stability, and type-I phase-matching behavior make CeBrMoO4 and CeBrWO4 great materials for IR NLO applications. CeHaVIO4 films also exhibited good photocurrent response upon light radiation. This work demonstrates the rich structural chemistry of the REHaVIO4 (RE = Y, La-Lu; Ha = Cl, Br; VI = Mo, W) family and the potential presence of more multifunctional materials.

Abstract
Seven acentric sulfides Ba6(CuxZy)Sn4S16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi, Sn) were grown by a high-temperature salt flux method. 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.
