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
The results of high-throughput screening of the inorganic crystal structure database for new promising Ca2+-, Mg2+-, Zn2+- and Al3+-ion conducting ternary and quaternary sulfides, selenides, and tellurides are presented (∼1500 compounds). A geometrical-topological approach based on the Voronoi partition was initially used and yielded 104 compounds, which were unknown as conductors with possible cation migration. All compounds were passed through the bond valence site energy analysis to determine the migration energy Em. Furthermore, we established the logarithmic dependencies of Em on the geometrical parameters of the migration pathways. As a result, 16 out of 104 structures were filtered out as promising conductors. Finally, density functional theory simulations yielded the 11 most prospective compounds with Em < 1.0 eV. Among them, we found a novel class of ionic conductors with the La3CuSiS7 structure, for which ab initio molecular dynamic calculations were performed, revealing diffusion coefficients of ∼10-7 cm2 s-1 and ionic conductivity of ∼10-2 S cm-1 at 300 K.

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.

Abstract
A quaternary compound, Na15Cu3Ga6S18, the first member in the A-Cu-Ga-S (A = alkali metal) series, has been synthesized from a solid-state metathesis reaction between Na6Ga2S6 and CuCl as well as from a combination of Na2S, Ga, Cu, and S. The compound crystallizes in a monoclinic crystal system, space group C2/c, and represents a unique open-framework structure with channels filled with eight crystallographically distinct Na ions. The anionic framework is built up of infinite chains of corner-shared GaS4 tetrahedra fused together by an edge-shared dimer of CuS4 tetrahedra forming one-dimensional ribbons of (Cu2Ga6S18)16-, which are cross-linked by linearly coordinated S-Cu-S linkages resulting in a three-dimensional network with tunnels filled with Na atoms. Optical band gap measurements show that the compound has a direct band gap of 3.00 eV that is in good agreement with the theoretical band gap derived from density functional theory calculations. Band structure calculations further indicate that the states near the Fermi level are dominated by tetrahedral Cu+(d) and S(p) states resulting from the antibonding interactions, while s-d hybridization is prevalent in linear Cu+ coordination. Ionic conductivity measurements show that the compound has a room-temperature Na ion conductivity of 2.72 × 10-5 mS/cm with an activation energy of 0.68 eV, which corroborates well the nudged elastic band calculations.
