Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals that can expand the spectral range of laser outputs have attracted significant attention for their optoelectronic applications. The research progress from the discovery of new single crystal structures to the realization of final device applications involves many key steps and is very time consuming and challenging. Consequently, exploring efficient design strategies to shorten the research period and accelerate the rational design of novel NLO materials has become imperative to address the pressing demand for advanced materials. The recent shift in paradigm toward exploring new NLO crystals involves significant progress from extensive "trial and error" methodologies to strategic approaches. This review proposes the concept of rational structure design for nonlinear optical crystals leveraging advantageous templates. It further discusses their optical characteristics, promising applications as second-order NLO materials, and the relationship between their structure and performance, and highlights urgent issues that need to be addressed in the field of NLO crystals in the future. The review aims to provide ideas and driving impetus to encourage researchers to achieve new breakthroughs in the next generation of NLO materials.

Clegg W, Nichol GS. The Sensitivity of Structure to Ionic Radius and Reaction Stoichiometry: A Crystallographic Study of Metal Coordination and Hydrogen Bonding in Barbiturate Complexes of All Five Alkali Metals Li-Cs. Molecules 2024; 29:1495. [PMID: 38611775 PMCID: PMC11012986 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29071495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
A systematic study has been conducted on barbiturate complexes of all five alkali metals, Li-Cs, prepared from metal carbonates or hydroxides in an aqueous solution without other potential ligands present, varying the stoichiometric ratio of metal ion to barbituric acid (BAH). Eight polymeric coordination compounds (two each for Na, K, and Rb and one each for Li and Cs) have been characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All contain some combination of barbiturate anion BA- (necessarily in a 1:1 ratio with the metal cation M+), barbituric acid, and water. All organic species and water molecules are coordinated to the metal centres via oxygen atoms as either terminal or bridging ligands. Coordination numbers range from 4 (for the Li complex) to 8 (for the Cs complex). Extensive hydrogen bonding plays a significant role in all the crystal structures, almost all of which include pairs of N-H···O hydrogen bonds linking BA- and/or BAH components into ribbons extending in one dimension. Factors influencing the structure adopted by each compound include cation size and reaction stoichiometry as well as hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Stereochemically active lone pair (SCALP) cations are attractive units for realizing optical anisotropy. Antimony(III) chloride perovskites with the SCALP have remained largely unknown to date. We synthesized a new vacancy ordered Cs3Sb2Cl9 perovskite single crystals with SbCl6 octahedral linkage containing the SCALP. Remarkably, all-inorganic halide perovskite Cs3Sb2Cl9 single crystals exhibit an exceptional birefringence of 0.12 ± 0.01 at 550 nm. The SCALP brings a large local structural distortion of the SbCl6 octahedra promoting birefringence optical responses in Cs3Sb2Cl9 single crystals. Theoretical calculations reveal that the considerable hybridization of Sb 5s and 5p with Cl 3p states largely contribute to the SCALP. Furthermore, the change in the Sb-Cl-Sb bond angle creates distortion in the SbCl6 octahedral arrangement in the apical and equatorial directions within the crystal structure incorporating the required anisotropy for the birefringence. This work explores pristine inorganic halide perovskite single crystals as a potential birefringent material with prospects in integrated optical devices.

Abstract
Currently, organic-inorganic hybrid cuprous-based halides are receiving substantial attention for their eco-friendliness, distinctive structures, and outstanding photophysical properties. Nevertheless, most of the reported cuprous-based halides demand deep ultraviolet excitation with a narrow excitation range that can meet the commercial requirement. Herein, zero-dimensional (0D) cuprous-based halide (C4H10N)4Cu4I8 single crystals (SCs) were synthesized, with an ultrabroad band excitation ranging 260-450 nm and a greenish-yellow emission band peaking at 560 nm. Excitingly, (C4H10N)4Cu4I8 also features a large Stokes shift of 300 nm, a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of up to 84.66%, and a long lifetime of 137 μs. Furthermore, density functional theory calculations were performed to explore the relationship between structure and photophysical properties, and the photoluminescence performance of (C4H10N)4Cu4I8 originates from the electron interactions in [Cu2I4]2- clusters. Taking advantage of broad band excitation and excellent photoluminescent performances, a high luminescence characteristic UV-pumped light-emitting diode (LED) device with remarkable color stability was fabricated by employing the as-synthesized (C4H10N)4Cu4I8 SCs, which present the promising applications of low-dimensional cuprous-based halides in solid-state lighting.

Abstract
It remains a challenge to develop UV nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals that can achieve a desirable trade-off on UV absorption edge, second harmonic generation (SHG), and birefringence. Here we report a thiosulfate UV NLO crystal of a 2D van der Waals layered structure, [C(NH2)3]2SO3S. Remarkably, this thiosulfate realizes the desired trade-off, with a short absorption edge of 254 nm, a strong SHG response of approximately 2.8 times that of the benchmark KH2PO4, and a sufficient birefringence of 0.073 at the wavelength of 546 nm. In addition, it exhibits strong in-plane anisotropy of the SHG intensity. According to the first-principles calculations, the non-π-conjugated [SO3S]2- anion is the dominant SHG functional gene, while the π-conjugated [C(NH2)3]+ cation serves as the functional gene of birefringence. This is different from common UV NLO materials whose functionals of SHG and birefringence are the same. These findings indicate that combining different function genes may be an effective strategy to develop outstanding NLO materials with the desirable property trade-off.
