Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) coherent light sources are widely applied in many areas of science and technology. As the core medium, the NLO material is required to have a wide transparent range, a large NLO response, and a high laser damaged threshold (LDT). It is common knowledge that langasite (La3Ga5SiO14, LGS) crystal has an underdeveloped second-harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient and a small birefringence, which seriously restrict its application in the NLO field, despite that it has a broad transmittance spectrum and a moderate LDT. Herein, we have successfully obtained novel langasite NLO crystals LGSS (La3Ga5Si0.5Sn0.5O14) and LGGS (La3Ga5Ge0.5Sn0.5O14), with short UV absorption edges of 209 and 212 nm, respectively. Incorporating heavy ions Sn4+ into the structure, a distorted BO6 octahedron was adjusted by the radius difference between Sn4+ and Si4+/Ge4+, which caused the strong SHG responses in LGSS (∼10.77 × KDP) and LGGS (∼9.23 × KDP) and increased birefringences of 0.034 and 0.025, respectively. Besides, they also had large energy band gaps (4.95 eV for LGSS, and 4.93 eV for LGGS), which allowed high LDTs with LGSS of 1.3 GW/cm2 and LGGS of 813 MW/cm2. This work demonstrates a new strategy to enhance SHG responses and birefringence for existing NLO materials and enriches langasite family crystals.

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.

Abstract
The key properties of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials highly rely on the quality of functional chromophores (FCs) and their optimized interarrangement in the lattice. Despite the screening of various FCs, significant challenges persist in optimizing their arrangement within specific structures. Generally, FC alignment is achieved by designing negatively charged 2D layers or 3D frameworks, further regulated by templating cations. In this study, a novel 0D adduct NLO material, SbF3·glycine, is reported. Neutrally charged 0D [SbF3C2H5NO2] FCs, comprising [SbF3] pyramids and zwitterionic glycine, are well-aligned in the structure. The alignment is facilitated by the hydrogen bonding, reinforcing a 'head-to-tail' ligation of [SbF3C2H5NO2] FCs. Consequently, the title compound exhibits favorable NLO properties, including a large second-harmonic generation efficiency (3.6 × KDP) and suitable birefringence (cal. 0.057 @ 1064 nm). Additionally, its short absorption cut-off edge (231 nm) positions it as a promising short-wave ultraviolet NLO material. Importantly, the binary SbF3-amino acid system is expected to serve as a new resource for exploring ultraviolet NLO crystals, owing to the abundance of the amino acid family.

Abstract
Oxychalcogenides are increasingly attracting wide attention because they contain multiple anions that may combine the advantages of oxides and chalcogenides. In this work, two new pentanary oxythiogermanates, Ba3MGe3O2S8 [M = Ca (1), Zn (2)], were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction. They crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pnma, and their structures contain isolated [Ge3O2S8]8- units constructed by one [GeO2S2] and two [GeOS3] tetrahedra that link with M2+ ions to build the {[MGe3O2S8]6-}∞ chain, representing a new type of oxythiogermanate. Notably, a [ZnS5] square pyramid exists in 2. Their structural chemistry and relationship with relevant structures are analyzed. 1 and 2 exhibit wide band gaps of 3.93 and 2.63 eV, birefringences of 0.100 and 0.089 at 2100 nm, respectively, and also obvious photocurrent responses. This work may be extended to a family of AE3MIIMIV3O2Q8 (AE = alkali-earth metal; MII = Ca, Zn, Cd, Hg; MIV = Si, Ge, Sn; Q = S, Se), and further systematic survey on them can be performed to enrich the study of multifunctional oxychalcogenides.

Abstract
Structural dissymmetry and strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses are key conditions for nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals, and targeted combinatorial screening of suitable anionic groups has become extremely effective. Herein, optimal combination of flexible SnSn (n = 5, 6) groups and highly electropositive cations (lanthanides (Ln3+ ) and alkaline earth (Ae2+ : Sr, Ca) metals) affords the successful synthesis of 12 NLO thiostannates including Ln2 Sr3 Sn3 S12 (Pmc21 ) and Ln2 Ca3 Sn3 S12 (P-62m); whereas 17 rigid GeS4 or SiS4 tetrahedra-constructed Ln2 Ae3 Ge3 S12 and Ln2 Ae3 Si3 S12 crystallize in the centrosymmetric (CS) Pnma. This unprecedented CS to noncentrosymmetric (NCS) structural transformation (Pnma to P-62m to Pmc21 ) in the Ln2 Ae3 MIV 3 S12 family indicates that chemical substitution of the tetrahedral GeS4 /SiS4 units with SnSn breaks the original symmetry to form the requisite NCS structures. Remarkably, strong polarization anisotropy and hyperpolarizability of the Sn(4+) S5 unit afford huge performance improvement from the nonphase-matching (NPM) SHG response (1.4 × AgGaS2 and Δn = 0.008) of La2 Ca3 Sn3 S12 to the strong phase-matching (PM) SHG effect (3.0 × AgGaS2 and Δn = 0.086) of La2 Sr3 Sn3 S12 . Therefore, Sn(4+) S5 is proven to be a promising "NLO-active unit." This study verifies that the coupling of flexible SnSn building blocks into structures opens a feasible path for designing targeted NCS crystals with strong nonlinearity and optical anisotropy.

Abstract
The first examples of thioborate-thiosilicates, namely Ca2 Ln(BS3 )(SiS4 ) (Ln = La, Ce, and Gd), are synthesized by rationally designed high-temperature solid-state reactions. They crystalize in the polar space group P63 mc and feature a novel three-dimensional crystal structure in which the discrete [BS3 ]3- and [SiS4 ]4- anionic groups are linked by Ca2+ and Ln3+ cations occupying the same atomic site. Remarkably, all three compounds show comprehensive properties required as promising infrared nonlinear optical materials, including phase-matchable strong second harmonic generation (SHG) responses at 2.05 µm (1.1-1.2 times that of AgGaS2 ), high laser-induced damage thresholds (7-10 times that of AgGaS2 ), wide light transmission range (0.45-11 µm), high thermal stabilities (>800 °C), and large calculated birefringence (0.126-0.149 @1064 nm), which justify the material design strategy of combining [BS3 ]3- and [SiS4 ]4- active units. Theoretical calculations suggest that their large SHG effects originate mainly from the synergy effects of the LnS6 , BS3 , and SiS4 groups. This work not only broadens the scope of research on metal chalcogenides but also provides a new synthetic route for mixed anionic thioborates.

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
A new mixed anionic compound Cd2TeO3Cl2 with unprecedented [Cd2O6Cl4] octahedral dimers has been synthesized, and millimeter-scale single crystals of Cd2TeO3Cl2 have been grown by the vertical Bridgman method with CdCl2 as the flux. Cd2TeO3Cl2 crystallizes in the centrosymmetric P1̄ (no. 2) space group, and shows a mixed cationic layer structure constituted by distorted [TeO3] motifs, mixed anionic [Cd2O6Cl4] chains, and [Cd2O6Cl4] octahedral dimers. Experimental and theoretical results show that Cd2TeO3Cl2 is a direct band gap compound with an experimental band gap of ∼4.25 eV. Meanwhile, the compound has good optical transmittance in the 3-5 μm atmospheric window. The results indicate that Cd2TeO3Cl2 could be used as a promising mid-IR window material, and could enrich the chemical and structural diversity of oxides.

Abstract
Chalcohalides not only keep the balance between the nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficient and wide band gap, but also provide a promising solution to achieve sufficient birefringence for phase-matching ability in NLO crystals. In this study, a novel chalcohalide, Cs4 Zn5 P6 S18 I2 (1) is successfully synthesized, by incorporating the highly electropositive Cs and the large electronegative I element into the zinc thiophosphate. Its 3D open framework features an edge-shared by distorted [ZnS4 ], ethanol-like [P2 S6 ], and unusual [ZnS2 I2 ] polyhedrons, which is inconsistent with the soft-hard-acids-bases theory. Remarkably, compound 1 simultaneously exhibits the large second-harmonic generation (SHG, 1.1×AgGaS2 , @1.3 µm) and a wide band gap (3.75 eV) toward a high laser-induced damage threshold (16.7×AgGaS2 , @1.06 µm), satisfying the rigorous requirements for a prominent infrared NLO material with concurrent SHG intensity (≥0.5×AGS) and band gap (≥3.5 eV). Moreover, to the best of the knowledge, the experimental result shows that phase 1 has the largest birefringence (0.108, @546 nm) in chalcohalide and meets phase-matching behavior demand originating from the polarizable anisotropy of NLO-functional motifs. This finding may provide great opportunities for designing birefringent chalcohalides.

Metal oxychalcogenides as candidates for novel mid-infrared nonlinear-optical materials have attracted great interest due to the distinctive advantages of oxides and chalcogenides in this field. Herein, the first melilite-type rare-earth (RE) oxythiogermanates Eu2MGe2OS6 [M = Mn (1), Fe (2), Co (3)] are obtained by combining RE metals with localized f electrons, magnetic transition metals with delocalized d electrons, and the highly distorted mixed anionic group [GeOS3] into one structure. They belong to the tetragonal P4̅21m space group, and highly distorted [EuOS7] bicapped trigonal prisms bridge adjacent {[MGe2OS6]4-}∞ layers to build the three-dimensional network. Their optical band gaps are determined as 2.40, 2.11 and 2.14 eV, and they show moderate second-harmonic-generation (SHG) responses (0.3, 0.3 and 0.5 × AGS) and large laser-induced damage thresholds (2.77-8.31 × AGS). Theoretical calculation results indicate that the synergistic effect of [EuOS7] and [MS4] units acts on the SHG effect. This work enriches the crystal chemistry of melilite-structure materials.

Abstract
Infrared nonlinear optical (IR NLO) materials are of great significance in the development of IR laser technology. But rationally designing high-performance IR NLO materials remains a huge challenge due to the conflict between the necessary properties required for NLO materials. Notably, oxychalcogenides with mixed-anion groups have drawn extensive interest as a family of important IR NLO candidates because they integrate the property advantages of oxides and chalcogenides by chemical substitution engineering. In this review, we provide a survey of reported oxychalcogenides and aim to present the development of NLO oxychalcogenides from the perspective of rational design of their structural chemistry. Furthermore, we focus on the relationships between partial substitution and structural symmetry as well as optical properties. These provide some helpful guidance for the further exploration and design of novel oxychalcogenide materials with excellent NLO performance in the future.

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
Rare-earth (RE) chalcogenides have been extensively studied as infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) materials because of their nice integrated performances; however, very few RE chalcophosphates are involved for this topic. Here, three quaternary RE selenophosphates, KSmP2 Se6 (1), KGdP2 Se6 (2), and KTbP2 Se6 (3), are profoundly studied for their NLO potentials. Their noncentrosymmetric P21 structures feature RESe8-bicapped trigonal prisms and ethane-like [P2 Se6 ]4 - dimers built {[REP2 Se6 ]-}∞ layers. As the first studied NLO-active RE selenophosphates, 1-3 exhibit second harmonic generation (SHG)responses ≈0.34-1.08 × AgGaS2 at 2.10 µm and laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs) ≈1.43-4.33 × AgGaS2 , and they all show phase-matchable behaviors, indicating their wonderful balanced NLO properties. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the synergistic effect between RESe8 and P2 Se6 units makes the major contribution to the SHG responses.

Abstract
Oxychalcogenides capable of exhibiting excellent balance among large second-harmonic generation (SHG) response, wide band gap (Eg ), and suitable birefringence (Δn) are ideal materials class for infrared nonlinear optical (IR NLO) crystals. However, rationally designing a new high-performance oxychalcogenide IR NLO crystal still faces a huge challenge because it requires the optimal orientations of the heteroanionic groups in oxychalcogenide. Herein, a series of antiperovskite-type oxychalcogenides, Ae3 Q[GeOQ3 ] (Ae = Ba, Sr; Q = S, Se), which were synthesized by employing the antiperovskite-type Ba3 S[GeS4 ] as the structure template. Their structures feature novel three-dimensinoal frameworks constructed by distorted [QAe6 ] octahedra, which are further filled by [GeOQ3 ] tetrahedra to form antiperovskite-type structures. Based on the unique antiperovskite-type structures, the favorable alignment of the polarizable [GeOQ3 ] tetrahedra and distorted [QAe6 ] octahedra have been achieved. These contribute the ideal combination of large SHG response (0.7-1.5 times that of AgGaS2 ), wide Eg (3.52-4.10 eV), and appropriate Δn (0.017-0.035) in Ae3 Q[GeOQ3 ]. Theoretical calculations and crystal structure analyses revealed that the strong SHG and wide Eg could be attributed to the polarizable [GeOQ3 ] tetrahedra and distorted [QAe6 ] octahedra. This research provides a new exemplification for the design of high-performance IR NLO materials.

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
Stereochemically active lone-pair (SCALP) cations are one attractive type of nonlinear optical (NLO)-active units because of their large microcosmic polarizability and anisotropy. Currently, the single and/or dual lone-pair cation-based noncentrosymmetric (NCS) oxides have been extensively investigated and verified to be one class of outstanding NLO materials. From the perspective of function optimization, the integration of three kinds of SCALP cations into one crystal may synergistically improve the NLO properties, which is greatly expected but unexplored to date. Herein, by introducing flexible metal halide bonds to guarantee the stereochemical activity and overcome the energetically favorable antiparallel arrangements of lone-pair cations, the first type of three lone-pair-cation (Pb2+, Bi3+, and Se4+)-coexisting NCS oxides PbBi(SeO3)2F (I) and Pb2Bi(SeO3)2Cl3 (II) was obtained. As expected, both compounds show outstanding NLO properties, such as the strong second-harmonic-generation signal (10.5× and 13.5 × KDP), large birefringence (0.103 and 0.186), relatively wide energy band gaps (3.75 and 3.45 eV), and good physicochemical stability. Theoretical calculations demonstrated the effect of three lone-pair-cation-based polyhedra and the halide anion on NLO properties.

Abstract
Metal oxyhalides are attracting extensive interest for their enchanting structures and diverse properties. Herein, a ternary antimony oxyiodide, Sb5O7I with the new hexagonal noncentrosymmetric P63 structure is systematically surveyed by focusing on its nonlinear-optical (NLO) behavior. Its two-dimensional structure is constructed by {Sb2[Sb3O7]}∞+ layers separated by charge-balanced I- anions. The second-harmonic-generation measurement result suggests that Sb5O7I is NLO-active, and the effect is assigned to the [SbO3]3- triangular pyramids' contribution. Sb5O7I shows a direct optical energy gap of 3.22 eV, which is the largest among all reported ternary oxyiodides. This work is the first investigation of ternary NLO Sb-based oxyhalides and enriches the study of metal oxyhalides as promising NLO materials.

Abstract
Mid-infrared (mid-IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are key materials in the field of laser technology. Nevertheless, the applications of these significant optical materials are always limited by their low laser damage threshold (LDT). Here, an oxide mid-IR NLO crystal, Bi3TeBO9, with a large LDT was discovered. The centimeter-sized Bi3TeBO9 single crystal was successfully grown by the top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method. The Bi3TeBO9 features a high LDT of 450 MW/cm2 (∼15 × AgGaS2) and the widest transparent range (0.35-7.10 μm) among known borate crystals. The second-harmonic generation (SHG) effect is about 1.6 times that of KDP. First-principles calculations and structural analysis show that the optical characteristics of Bi3TeBO9 are mainly affected by distorted [BiO6] groups. Furthermore, its thermal characteristics including specific heat, thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion were also measured.

Abstract
Second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have drawn enormous academic and technological attention attributable to their indispensable role in laser frequency conversion and other greatly facilitated applications. The exploration of new NLO materials with high performances thus has long been an intriguing research field for chemists and material scientists. However, an ideal NLO material should simultaneously satisfy quite a few fundamental yet rigorous criteria including a noncentrosymmetric structure, large NLO coefficients, desired transparent range, large birefringence, high laser damage threshold, and availability of a large-size single crystal. Therefore, the identification of promising compound systems, targeted design, and experience-based syntheses are crucial to discover novel NLO materials working in the spectral region of interest. As an important family of mixed-anion compounds, versatile metal oxyhalides containing metal-centered oxyhalide functional units ([MO m X n ] (X = F, Cl, Br, and I)) are becoming a marvelous branch for interesting NLO materials. Especially, when the central metals are d0/d10 transition metals or heavy post-transition metals, a number of novel NLO materials with superior functionalities are expected. Our thorough review on the recent achievements of metal oxyhalides for NLO materials are divided into the fast-growing NLO metal oxyhalides with single type halogen anions and the newly identified NLO metal oxyhalides with mixed halogen anions. Here we mainly focus on the design strategy, structural chemistry, NLO-related properties, and structure-property correlation of the metal oxyhalides with relatively large NLO responses. We hope this review can provide an insight on the rational design and future development of emerging metal oxyhalides for NLO and other applications.

Abstract
The novel tin(II) oxychloride [BMIm][Sn5O2Cl7] (BMIm = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) is obtained by the room-temperature reaction (25 °C) of black SnO and SnCl2 in [BMIm]Cl/SnCl2 as an ionic liquid. The title compound can be described as composed of noncharged, infinite ∞1(Sn2OCl2) strands that are embedded in a saline matrix of [BMIm]+ and [SnCl3]-. The ∞1(Sn2OCl2) strands consist of a backbone of edge-sharing OSn4/2 tetrahedra, which represent one-dimensional (1D) strands cut out of the layer-type structure of SnO. In [BMIm][Sn5O2Cl7], the ∞1(Sn2OCl2) strands, which mimic a 1D semiconductor, are terminated by chlorine atoms, whereas they are interconnected by oxygen atoms in the 2D semiconductor SnO. The view of the noncharged ∞1(Sn2OCl2) strands in a saline [BMIm][SnCl3] matrix is validated by dissolution experiments. Thus, electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy show a deconstruction of [BMIm][Sn5O2Cl7] single crystals after treatment with chloroform with a dissolution of [BMIm][SnCl3], the formation of SnCl2 needles, and tin oxide as a solid remain.

Cd4InO(BO3)3: A New Nonlinear Optical Crystal Exhibiting Strong Second Harmonic Generation Effect and Moderate Birefringence. CRYSTALS 2022.

Abstract
A new noncentrosymmetric cadmium indium borate, Cd4InO(BO3)3 (CIBO) has been successfully developed via a standard solid-state reaction. Its crystal structure was confirmed by the single crystal X-ray diffraction, which shows that CIBO belongs to the non-centrosymmetric and polar space group Cm. Its structure contains the distorted InO6 and CdOn (n = 6, 8) polyhedra, which link together by sharing an edge or corner to build a three dimensions framework with BO3 triangles accommodated in tunnels. Benefiting from the approximately parallel configuration of BO3 triangles, CIBO exhibited a strong second harmonic generation (SHG) effect (3 × KDP), and moderate birefringence of 0.077@1064 nm. Further optical and thermal characterizations suggest that CIBO possesses a wide transparent window and good thermal stability. Theoretical calculation reveals that the macroscopic SHG coefficients of CIBO results from the synergistic effect of the parallel arrangement of BO3 groups and d10 Cd2+ cation.

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
Intense interests in mid-infrared (MIR) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals have erupted in recent years due to the development of optoelectronic applications ranging from remote monitoring to molecular spectroscopy. Here, two polar crystals Ca3(TeO3)2(MO4) (M = Mo, W) were grown from TeO2-MO3 flux by high-temperature solution methods. Ca3(TeO3)2(MoO4) and Ca3(TeO3)2(WO4) are isostructural, which feature novel structures consisting of asymmetric MO4 tetrahedra and TeO3 trigonal pyramids. Optical characterizations show that both crystals display ultrawide transparency ranges (279 nm to 5.78 μm and 290 nm to 5.62 μm), especially high optical transmittance over 80% in the important atmospheric transparent window of 3-5 μm, and superhigh laser damage thresholds (1.63 GW/cm2 and 1.50 GW/cm2), 54.3 and 50 times larger than that of state-of-the-art MIR NLO AgGaS2, respectively. Notably, they exhibit the widest band gaps and the loftiest laser-induced threshold damages among the reported tellurates so far. Moreover, Ca3(TeO3)2(MO4) exhibit type I phase matching at two working wavelengths owing to their large birefringence and strong second-harmonic generation responses from the distorted anions, as further elucidated by the first-principles calculations. The above characteristics indicate that Ca3(TeO3)2(MO4) crystals are high-performance MIR NLO materials, especially applying in high-power MIR laser operations.

Abstract
A new heavy metal oxychloride, RbPb8O4Cl9, has been synthesized by a high-temperature solution method. The compound crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P4/n (no. 85) and exhibits a three-dimensional (3D) framework constructed from [PbO3Cl3], [PbOCl5] and [RbCl8] polyhedra. RbPb8O4Cl9 is an indirect band gap compound with an experimental band gap of 3.66 eV. The first-principles calculations indicate that the band gap mainly originated from the interaction of Pb 6p, O 2p and Cl 2p states. Meanwhile, the calculated birefringence of RbPb8O4Cl9 is about 0.012 at 1064 nm. The compound is the first alkali metal lead oxyhalide, which enriches the structural diversity of oxyhalides and provides an insight for the exploration of new functional materials.

Abstract
Strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) and a wide band gap are two crucial but often conflicting parameters that must be optimized for practical nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. We report herein the first d0-transition-metal (TM) tellurite with half of the d0-TM-octahedra partially fluorinated, namely, quinary RbTeMo2O8F, which exhibits giant SHG responses (27 times that of KH2PO4 (KDP) and 2.2 times that of KTiOPO4 (KTP) with 1064 and 2100 nm laser radiation, respectively), the largest SHG values among all reported metal tellurites. RbTeMo2O8F also possesses a large band gap (3.63 eV), a wide optical transparency window (0.34-5.40 μm), and a significant birefringence (Δn = 0.263 at 546 nm). Theoretical calculations and crystal structure analysis demonstrate that the outstanding SHG responses can be definitively attributed to the uniform alignment of the polarized [MoO5F]/[MoO6] octahedra and the seesaw-like [TeO4], and the consequent favorable summative polarization of the three distinct SHG-active polyhedra, both induced by partial fluorine substitution on the [MoO6] octahedra.

Abstract
Study of mid-infrared (mid-IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is hindered by the competing requirements of optimized second-harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient dij and laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) as well as the harsh synthetic conditions. Herein, we report facile hydrothermal synthesis of a polar NLO vanadate Cs4 V8 O22 (CVO) featuring a quasi-rigid honeycomb-layered structure with [VO4 ] and [VO5 ] polyhedra aligned parallel. CVO possesses a wide IR-transparent window, high LIDT, and congruent-melting behavior. It has very strong phase-matchable SHG intensities in metal vanadate family (12.0 × KDP @ 1064 nm and 2.2 × AGS @ 2100 nm). First-principles calculations suggest that the exceptional SHG responses of CVO largely originate from virtual electronic transitions within [V4 O11 ]∞ layer; the excellent optical transmittance of CVO arises from the special characteristics of vibrational phonons resulting from the layered structure.

Abstract
Increasing the energy band gap under the premise to maintain a large nonlinear optical (NLO) response is a challenging issue for the exploration and molecular design of mid-infrared nonlinear optical crystals. Utilizing a charge-transfer engineering method, we designed and synthesized a rare earth chalcogenide, KYGeS4. With an NLO effect as large as that in AgGaS2, KYGeS4 breaks through the limitation of energy band gap, i.e., the "3.0 eV wall", in NLO rare earth chalcogenides, and thus exhibits an excellent comprehensive NLO performance. First-principles electronic structure analysis demonstrates that the large band gap in KYGeS4 is ascribed to the decreased covalency of Y-S bonds by transferring charge from [YS7] to [GeS4] polyhedra. The charge-transfer engineering strategy would have significant implications for the exploration of good-performance NLO crystals.

Abstract
Two new quaternary sulfides K2TGe3S8(T = Co, Fe) have been synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state routine and flux growth method. The crystal growth process of K2TGe3S8(T = Co, Fe) was elucidated by in situ powder X-ray diffraction and DSC thermal analysis. The millimeter-sized crystals of K2TGe3S8(T = Co, Fe) were grown. K2CoGe3S8 crystallizes in a new structure type in centrosymmetric space group P1 (no. 2) with unit cell parameters of a = 7.016(1) Å, b= 7.770(1) Å, c = 14.342(1) Å, α = 93.80(1)°, β = 92.65(1)°, γ = 114.04(1)°. K2FeGe3S8 crystallizes in the K2FeGe3Se8 structure type and the noncentrosymmetric space group P21 (no. 4) with unit cell parameters of a = 7.1089(5)Å, b = 11.8823(8) Å, c = 16.7588(11) Å, β = 96.604(2)°. There is a high structural similarity between K2CoGe3S8 and K2FeGe3S8. The larger volume coupled with higher degrees of distortion of the [FeS4] tetrahedra compared to the [CoS4] tetrahedra accounts for the structure's shift from centrosymmetric to noncentrosymmetric. The theory simulation confirms that [TS4]T= Co or Fe tetrahedra play a crucial role in controlling the structure and properties of K2TGe3S8(T = Co, Fe). The measured optical bandgaps of K2CoGe3S8 and K2FeGe3S8 are 2.1(1) eV and 2.6(1) eV, respectively. K2FeGe3S8 shows antiferromagnetic ordering at 24 K while no magnetic ordering was detected in K2CoGe3S8. The magnetic measurements also demonstrate the divalent nature of transition metals in K2TGe3S8(T = Co, Fe).

Abstract
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) is a kind of nonlinear optical phenomenon which has been widely used in optical devices, and factors influencing its signal are very complex. Here, taking advantage of excellent structural designability and overcoming the limitations of various coordinations of lanthanide metals, for the first time a series of lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) with one particular ligand were synthesized and structurally characterized to study the interference of the SHG signal. The optical performance including single-photon fluorescence and SHG was collected and analyzed. It is found that all 13 kinds of Ln-MOFs can be divided into 2 crystal configurations by their individual space groups and Ln-MOFs with coordinated metal atoms from La to Tb possessing the noncentrosymmetric C2 space group exhibit the SHG property, the intensity of which depends on the type of metal atoms, the pumping wavelength, and the size of the single-crystal particles. This is the first time that the relationship between the nonlinear optical properties and the structure, metal atoms, pumping wavelength, crystal size of the whole series of Ln-MOFs is studied systematically, providing a lot of interesting results and enriching the research scope of nonlinear optics and materials science.

Abstract
Two europium metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on the same ligand, named as ZJU-23-Eu and ZJU-24-Eu, are selectively synthesized by fine-tuning solvent contents to tailor the coordination modes. Eu atoms are eight-coordinated and nine-coordinated in ZJU-23-Eu and ZJU-24-Eu respectively, and their frameworks vary in both spatial connectivity and symmetry. The ligand not only has multiphoton response but also suitable triplet energy level (19 998 cm-1 ) to sensitize Eu3+ . Thus ZJU-23-Eu exhibits characteristic emission of Eu3+ peaking at 614 nm via the energy transfer from the two-/three-photon excited ligand to Eu3+ , with its bidimensional layered structure benefiting this process. In contrast, the changed spatial connectivity in tridimensional ZJU-24-Eu narrows the distances between adjacent Eu3+ ions and reduces the density, resulting in poor two-photon excited fluorescence. Besides, noncentrosymmetric ZJU-24-Eu shows second harmonic generation (SHG) response with an intensity of ≈6.2 times relative to KH2 PO4 (KDP) microcrystalline powder while centrosymmetric ZJU-23-Eu cannot. These results have established two nonlinear optical (NLO) models based on MOFs to synchronously analyze the effects of two structural variables on different NLO behaviors, and provide ingenious ways to design MOF-based NLO devices with function on demand.

Abstract
The birefringent crystals capable of modulating the polarization of lights are of the current research interests. Although many oxide crystals have been discovered and widely used in UV and visible regions, the birefringent crystals in the infrared (IR) region are still rare. Herein, two new chalcogenides, K2Na2Sn3S8 and Rb3NaSn3Se8, have been synthesized by the solid-state method. We have used the single crystal X-ray diffraction to determine their structures. K2Na2Sn3S8 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c and exhibits a three-dimensional framework constructed by the corner-sharing SnS4 and SnS5 units, whereas Rb3NaSn3Se8 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/nbm and features a zero-dimensional [Sn3Se8]4- trimer built by the three edge-sharing SnSe4 tetrahedra. The physical property measurements indicate that Rb3NaSn3Se8 has a wide IR transparent window up to 20 μm and large birefringence, ∼0.196, suggesting its potential application as a birefringent crystal in the IR region. However, compared with Rb3NaSn3Se8, the birefringence of K2Na2Sn3S8 is relatively small, ∼0.070. The study of their structure-property relationship indicates that the different connection modes of SnQn (Q = S, Se; n = 4, 5) polyhedra are the main reason for the large difference of birefringence between the two compounds. These studies will provide a new insight for the origin of birefringence and will facilitate the exploration of new IR birefringent crystals.
