Abstract
Currently, oxychalcogenides with mixed-anion groups that integrate the property advantages of oxides (wide optical band gap) and chalcogenides [strong second harmonic generation (SHG) response] through chemical substitution engineering have attracted widespread interest and are considered to be important candidates for infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Herein, the first Hg-based oxychalcogenide Sr2HgGe2OS6 with mixed anion [GeOS3] units has been successfully synthesized through a spontaneous crystallization method, which exhibits a favorable balance between the strong SHG response (0.7 × AgGaS2) and large optical band gap (2.9 eV). In addition, Sr2HgGe2OS6 shows high laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT, 2.1 × AgGaS2) as well as phase-matching (PM) performance. Theoretical calculations indicate that the Sr2HgGe2OS6 encompasses large birefringence of 0.128@2090 nm (3.3 × AgGaS2) and its SHG density mainly comes from [HgS4] tetrahedra and [GeOS3] units. This work not only demonstrates that Sr2HgGe2OS6 is a promising IR NLO material but also provides new ideas for the exploration of Hg-based oxychalcogenide IR NLO materials.

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
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.

Breaking Through the Trade-Off Between Wide Band Gap and Large SHG Coefficient in Mercury-Based Chalcogenides for IR Nonlinear Optical Application. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2304563.

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
Crystallographically, noncentrosymmetricity (NCS) is an essential precondition and foundation of achieving nonlinear optical (NLO), pyroelectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric materials. Herein, structurally, octahedral [SmCl6]3- is substituted by the acentric tetrahedral polyanion [CdBr4]2-, which is employed as a templating agent to induce centrosymmetric (CS)-to-NCS transformation based on the new CS supramolecule [Cd5P2][SmCl6]Cl (1), thereby providing the NCS supramolecule [Cd4P2][CdBr4] (2). Meanwhile, this replacement further results in the host 2D ∞2[Cd5P2]4+ layers converting to yield the twisted 3D ∞3[Cd4P2]2+ framework, which promotes the growth of bulk crystals. Additionally, phase 2 possesses well-balanced NLO properties, enabling considerable second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses (0.8-2.7 × AgGaS2) in broadband spectra, the thermal expansion anisotropy (2.30) together with suitable band gap (2.37 eV) primarily leading to the favorable laser-induced damage threshold (3.33 × AgGaS2), broad transparent window, and sufficient calculated birefringence (0.0433) for phase-matching ability. Furthermore, the first polyanion substitution of the supramolecule plays the role of templating agent to realize the CS-to-NCS transformation, which offers an effective method to rationally design promising NCS-based functional materials.

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.

Abstract
Hg-based chalcogenides, as good candidates for the exploration of high-performance infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, usually exhibit strong NLO effects, but narrow bandgaps. Herein, an unprecedented wide bandgap Hg-based IR NLO material Zn2 HgP2 S8 (ZHPS) with diamond-like structure is rationally designed and fabricated by a tetrahedron re-organization strategy with the aid of structure and property predictions. ZHPS exhibits a wide bandgap of 3.37 eV, which is the largest one among the reported Hg-based chalcogenide IR NLO materials and first breaks the 3.0 eV bandgap "wall" in this system, resulting in a high laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of ≈2.2 × AgGaS2 (AGS). Meanwhile, it shows a large NLO response (1.1 × AGS), achieving a good balance between bandgap (≥3.0 eV) and NLO effect (≥1 × AGS) for an excellent IR NLO material. DFT calculations uncover that, compared to normal [HgS4 ]n , highly distorted [HgS4 ]d tetrahedral units are conducive to generating wide bandgap, and the wide bandgap in ZHPS can be attributed to the strong s-p hybridization between Hg─S bonding in distorted [HgS4 ]d , which gives some insights into the design of Hg-based chalcogenides with excellent properties based on distorted [HgS4 ]d tetrahedra.

Abstract
The design of efficient nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals continues to pose significant challenges due to the difficulty of assembling polar NLO-active modules in an optimal additive fashion. We report herein the first NLO-active mercuric nitrates A2 Hg(NO3 )4 (A=(KHNO), Rb (RHNO)), for which assembly is induced by ionic polarization of the d10 cations. The two new crystalline compounds are isostructural, featuring interesting pseudo-diamond-like structures with parallel [Hg(NO3 )4 ] modules, and leading to strong powder second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses of 9.2 (KHNO) and 8.8 (RHNO) times that of KH2 PO4 . In combination with the simple solution preparation of centimeter-scale crystals, sufficient birefringence, and short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edges, these attributes make KHNO and RHNO promising candidates for UV NLO materials. Theoretical calculations and single-crystal structure analysis reveal that the newly-developed highly condensed and distorted [Hg(NO3 )4 ] module, with an Hg2+ cation that is quadruply bidentate nitrate-ligated, is crucial for the significant SHG responses. This work highlights the potential importance of modules with multiple bidentate ligands for the development of high-performing next-generation NLO 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
A crystal structure with a diamond-like anionic framework belongs to a non-centrosymmetric macrostructure due to the aligned arrangement of tetrahedral units, meeting the premise of second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Herein, two new Hg-based sulphides, namely RbHg4Ga5S12 (1) and CsHg4Ga5S12 (2), which are isostructural and crystallise in the trigonal space group R3, are successfully isolated in sealed silica tubes by a solid-state reaction. The features of their three-dimensional open honeycomb frameworks are attributed to the parallel alignment of tetrahedral MS4 (M is disordered by 0.444 Hg and 0.555 Ga) building motifs, accompanied by Rb+ (or Cs+) reseating in the cavities. Notably, although the band gap values of 1 and 2 are 2.30 and 2.36 eV, separately, their thermal expansion anisotropies (0.15 and 0.41, respectively) are favourable for achieving laser-induced damage thresholds (5.6 and 5.8 times that of AgGaS2 for 1 and 2, respectively). In addition, the strong polarisability of tetrahedral MS4 building motifs in the diamond-like anionic structures is responsible for the promising second-harmonic generation (SHG) intensities (1.1 and 1.8 times that of AgGaS2 for 1 and 2, respectively) in the particle size range of 50-75 μm with non-phase-matchable behaviour at 1910 nm. Furthermore, theoretical investigation elaborates that electron transitions in compounds 1 and 2 mainly occur from valence band S-3p to conduction band Hg-6s and Ga-4s states, demonstrating that the linear and nonlinear optical properties originate primarily from the synergy of tetrahedral MS4 units.

Abstract
The strong mutual coupling of and even the opposite change in the key parameters, such as the band gap (Eg ) and second-order harmonic generation (SHG), leads to the extreme scarcity in high-performance IR nonlinear optical (NLO) chalcogenides. Herein, we report 8 new sulfides, Na2 Ba[(Agx Na1-x )2 Sn2 S7 ] (1, x=0; 1 series, x=0.1-0.6; Na2 Ba[(Li0.58 Na0.42 )2 Sn2 S7 ], 1-0.6Li); Na2 Sr[Cu2 Sn2 S7 ] (2); and Na2 Ba[Cu2 Sn2 S7 ] (3). We use the structural tolerance factor ( t I e x p ${{t}_{I}^{exp}}$ ) to connect the chemical composition, crystal structure, and NLO properties. Guided by these correlations, a better balance between Eg and SHG is realized in 1, which exhibits a large Eg of 3.42 eV and excellent NLO properties (SHG: 1.5×AGS; laser-induced damage threshold: 12×AGS), representing the best performance among the known Hg- or As-free sulfides to date.

The Kurtz-Perry Powder Technique Revisited: A Study of the Effect of Reference Selection on Powder Second-Harmonic Generation Response. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28031116.

Abstract
The accurate evaluation of nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficient, the main parameter affecting light conversion efficiency, plays a crucial role in the development of NLO materials. The Kurtz-Perry powder technique can evaluate second-harmonic generation (SHG) intensity in pristine powder form, saving a significant amount of time and energy in the preliminary screening of materials. However, the Kurtz-Perry method has recently been subject to some controversy due to the limitations of the Kurtz-Perry theory and the oversimplified experimental operation. Therefore, it is very meaningful to revisit and develop the Kurtz-Perry technique. In this work, on the basis of introducing the light scattering effect into the original Kurtz-Perry theory, the theoretical expression of second-harmonic generation intensity with respect to band gap and refractive index are analyzed. In addition, the reference-dependent SHG measurements were carried out on polycrystalline LiB3O5 (LBO), AgGaQ2 (Q = S, Se), BaGa4Q7 (Q = S, Se), and ZnGeP2 (ZGP), and the results of SHG response emphasize the importance of using appropriate references to the Kurtz-Perry method. In order to obtain reliable values of nonlinear coefficients, two criteria for selecting a reference compound were proposed: (1) it should possess a band gap close to that of the sample to be measured and (2) it should possess a refractive index close to that of the sample to be measured. This work might shed light on improvements in accuracy that can be made for effective NLO coefficients obtained using the Kurtz-Perry method.

Abstract
In order to meet the growing needs for the laser technology and optics industries, the goal is to find suitable fundamental building blocks with large nonlinear-optical (NLO) coefficients and birefringence for an excellent-performance NLO or birefringent system. Via preliminary investigations and calculations, it has been found that the planar π-conjugated group (C9H5O6)- possesses large polarizability anisotropy (δ) and hyperpolarizability (βmax), comparable to well-known groups such as (B3O6)3-, (C3N3O3)3-, etc. Herein, we report a new alkali-metal 3,5-dicarboxybenzoate, KC9H5O6(H2O) (KH2BTC), which crystallized in the acentric space group Pna21. Second-harmonic-generation (SHG) measurements of KH2BTC under 1064 nm laser radiation show that the SHG response of KH2BTC is 1.2 times that of KDP with type I phase-matching behavior. Birefringence measurements show that KH2BTC owns a large birefringence of about 0.372 at 550 nm. The band gap of KH2BTC obtained by ultraviolet (UV) diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy is 3.91 eV, indicating that KH2BTC has potential applications as UV NLO or birefringent materials. Theoretical calculation further confirmed that the impressive optical properties of KH2BTC are derived from the large polarizability anisotropy of the (C9H5O6)- anions.

Abstract
The discovery of new types of metal sulfides is attractive because of their rich structures and diverse physical properties. Here, a novel quaternary sulfide, Ba3HgGa2S7 (BHGS), is obtained by a solid-state reaction at 1123 K. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, and its zero-dimensional structure features two seesaw-like HgS2 units and four GaS4 tetrahedra, constructing a unique [Hg2Ga4S14]12- string. BHGS has a wide band gap of 3.64 eV and a large birefringence of 0.09 at 2100 nm. Specifically, BHGS exhibits a remarkable photocurrent response. This work may be extended to a new family of AE3MIIMIII2Q7 (AE = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba; MII = Zn, Cd, Hg; MIII = Al, Ga, In; Q = S, Se) chalcogenides.

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
Abstract
As early as 2001, the need for the ‘functional motif theory’ was pointed out to assist the rational design of functional materials. The properties of materials are determined by their functional motifs and by how they are arranged in the materials. Uncovering the functional motifs and their arrangements is crucial in understanding the properties of materials and rationally designing new materials of desired properties. The functional motifs of materials are the critical microstructural units (e.g. constituent components and building blocks) that play a decisive role in generating certain material functions, and could not be replaced with other structural units without losing or significantly suppressing the relevant functions. The role of functional motifs and their arrangements in materials with representative examples was presented. These examples could be classified into six types of material microscopic structures on a length scale smaller than ∼10 nm with maximum subatomic resolution, i.e. the crystal, magnetic, aperiodic, defect, local, and electronic structures. The method of functional motif analysis could be employed in the function-oriented design of materials, as elucidated by taking infrared nonlinear optical materials as an example. Machine learning is more efficient in predicting material properties and screening materials with high efficiency than high-throughput experimentation and high-throughput calculations. In extracting the functional motifs and finding their quantitative relationships, developing sufficiently reliable databases for material structures and properties is imperative.

Abstract
The exploration of nonlinear-/linear-optical crystal materials with high performance is an extremely difficult research project. Herein, the two new lead tellurite crystals BaPbTe2O6 and PbVTeO5F were successfully obtained through a facile hydrothermal synthesis strategy. BaPbTe2O6 lies in the noncentrosymmetric (NCS) and chiral orthorhombic space group P212121, featuring a unique ∞1[PbTe2O6] chain consisting of the PbO4 and TeO3 building units, while PbVTeO5F belonging to the centrosymmetric (CS) orthorhombic space group Pbca manifests a 2D layer made up of ∞1[PbO4F2] chains and novel [V2Te2O10F2] clusters. Further, a systematic analysis of lead tellurites finds that the coordination geometries of the Pb atom exert a considerable influence on the connection modes of Pb-O and Te-O building units. BaPbTe2O6 shows a great second-harmonic-generation (SHG) effect of ∼5× the benchmark KH2PO4 (KDP) and a large optical birefringence of 0.086 at 590 ± 3 nm. PbVTeO5F demonstrates a remarkably larger birefringence of 0.142 at 590 ± 3 nm, benefiting from the introduction of the VO5F octahedral unit. Theoretical studies reveal that the large SHG and birefringence in BaPbTe2O6 can be attributed to TeO3 and PbO4 polyhedra with active lone pairs, while the remarkably enlarged birefringence in PbVTeO5F is attributable to the highly distorted octahedral VO5F. The functional orientations of active building units may offer a practical insight into the design of the desired optical functional materials.

Abstract
The key to developing new infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is balancing second-order nonlinear optical effects and the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT). In this paper, a new polymorph of HgBr2 (P212121) was synthesized by a "halogen-ion-induced effect" in solution, which features a crystal structure different from that of the original phase (Cmc21) and exhibits better NLO properties. Its powders show a strong SHG effect (9 × KDP), a high LIDT (30 × AgGaS2), a wide infrared transparent range, and stability in air, making it a prospective NLO material in the IR region. In addition, the above excellent NLO characteristics are well illustrated in DFT theoretical calculations. More importantly, experimental results show that the new infrared NLO polymorph with excellent comprehensive properties could be controllably obtained by using the halogen-ion-induced strategy.

Abstract
A series of M6PS5X (M = Ag, Cu; X = Cl, Br) nonlinear optical (NLO) chalcohalides with special MS3X ligands have been synthesized in this work. Their critical optical performances were systematically measured and the research results show that all of them exhibit strong NLO responses (2.0-2.7 × commercial AgGaS2) and high laser-damage thresholds (1.7-2.3 × AgGaS2), indicating their potential application as good NLO candidates. Furthermore, first-principles calculations were used to study their inherent structure-property relationships and chalcohalides can be expected to be optimal systems for the exploration of new promising IR NLO crystals.

Abstract
The continuous exploration of multinary chalcogenide semiconductors has provided a variety of new functional materials. In this paper, four new quaternary chalcogenides AHgPS4 (A+ = Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+) have been prepared by solid-state syntheses. These findings complement the lack of research on this quaternary system. Influenced by the size effect of cations and the coordination mode of Hg, the four compounds crystallize in four different space groups [NaHgPS4, P4̅n2; KHgPS4, Pnn2; RbHgPS4, P21/n; CsHgPS4, P212121] and show an interesting evolution from a 3D framework structure to a 1D chain structure. Moreover, all of these compounds feature noncentrosymmetric (NCS) structures except for RbHgPS4. The materials exhibit wide band gaps of 2.7 eV < Eg < 3.0 eV. The NCS- related second-harmonic-generation (SHG) property of NaHgPS4 and KHgPS4 was also studied. They display strong powder SHG responses (3.14 × AgGaS2 for NaHgPS4; 4.15 × AgGaS2 for KHgPS4), which indicate their intriguing potential as IR nonlinear-optical materials. Moreover, first-principles theoretical calculations were performed to understand the structure-property relationships of these materials.

Abstract
Large second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response and enhanced laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) compared with benchmark AgGaS2 (AGS), together with a simple chemical composition and exclusion of the light-sensitive Ag element, are vital for exploration of superior IR nonlinear-optical (NLO) materials beyond AGS. Herein, we report trigonal HgS as a highly promising IR NLO material. It was obtained by a facile one-pot hydrothermal reaction, and its noncentrosymmetric P3221 structure features a unique dumbbell-shaped HgS2 group and a neutral helical {[HgS]}n chain, which first served as a SHG functional motif. Its polycrystalline powder sample exhibits a phase-matchable SHG response comparable to that of AGS and a LIDT value of 1.2 × AGS. Structural analysis and theoretical calculation suggest that the {[HgS]}n chain plays an important role for excellent NLO performance. This work not only provides a strong candidate for IR NLO application but also introduces a new SHG functional motif for the design of future NLO materials.

Abstract
Birefringent materials are widely applied as photoelectric functional field devices to modulate the polarization of lasers. The introduction of a halogen into the structure of crystals could balance the relationship between the band gap Eg and nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficient owing to their outstanding electronegativity and control the optical anisotropy. In this work, the optical properties of phosphohalides α/β-Cd2P3X (X = Cl, Br, I) were studied. It was found that the birefringences of α/β-Cd2P3Cl (0.23/0.24 @ 1064 nm) are unexpectedly 8 times larger than those of α/β-Cd2P3I (0.04/0.03 @ 1064 nm). To find the optical property origins and explore the contributions of microscopic groups to the optical anisotropy and NLO responses in Cd-P-X (X = Cl, Br, I), the first-principles, real-space atom-cutting, and polarizability anisotropy analysis methods were used. This reveals that the electron distribution is susceptible to halogen electronegativity. Halogen atoms can modulate the polarization anisotropy of the active polyhedron and influence the birefringence significantly, owing to the synergistic effect of the anion size and strong covalent interactions between halogens and metal cations. This work clarifies the optical anisotropy origin mechanism and provides a general strategy for finding promising birefringent crystals in phosphohalide systems.

Abstract
Chalcogenides with diamond-like (DL) structures are a treasury of infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Here, a ternary Hg-based chalcogenide with a defect DL structure, Hg3P2S8, is synthesized by solid-state reaction. Driven by the highly distorted [HgS4] tetrahedra, this compound displays an interesting structural symmetry degradation from tetragonal to orthorhombic compared with its analogue Zn3P2S8. Meanwhile, the overall performances of Hg3P2S8 are quite remarkable, including a very strong phase-matchable second-harmonic generation (SHG) response (4.2 × AgGaS2), large band gap (2.77 eV), wide IR transparent range (0.45-16.7 μm), and high laser-induced damage threshold (4 × AGS). Furthermore, the theoretical analysis and local dipole moment calculations elucidate that the highly distorted [HgS4] tetrahedra contribute a lot to the enhancement of the SHG effect. This discovery will motivate the exploration of other DL Hg-based chalcogenides serving as high-performing mid-IR NLO materials.

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
A series of pentanary chalcogenoborates (A3X)[InB12(InQ4)3] (A = K, Rb, Cs; X = Cl, Br, I; Q = S, Se) were obtained by high-temperature solid-state reactions. These salt-inclusion chalcogenides crystallize in the hexagonal space group P6322, a type of Kleinman-forbidden noncentrosymmetric structure. Their structures feature a [InB12(InQ4)3] open framework built by InQ6 octahedra and InQ4 tetrahedra consolidated B12 cluster, which accomodates octahedral cavities for XA6 units. They are second-harmonic generation active, and their optical properties were studied experimentally and theoretically. This work can evoke more interest in chalcogenoborate-based second-order nonlinear optical materials.

Abstract
Exploration of a new nonlinear optical (NLO)-active functional motif is important in the rational design of promising infrared (IR) NLO materials. Compared with typical tetrahedral MQ4 (M = IIB, III, IV metals; Q = S, Se) motifs, MQ3 (M = As, Sb) pyramids favor high second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency while frequently hindering phase matching (PM) because of excessively large optical anisotropy. The surfactant-thermal method was first adopted to achieve PM in MQ3-containing systems and synthesize mixed covalent-ionic IR NLO materials. Two new thioarsenates of AMnAs3S6 (A = Cs, Rb) exhibiting strong PM SHG efficiencies comparable to commercial AGS and laser-induced damage thresholds of one order higher than AGS were obtained. The [As3S6]3- unit in their structures is an unprecedented NLO-active functional motif, which can be useful in designing new IR NLO compounds with large SHG efficiency. In addition, the surfactant-thermal method provides a new general strategy for synthesizing new IR NLO materials.

Abstract
The two functional chalcogenides K2MnGe2Se6 and Na2HgSn2Se6, featuring a straight-chain structure, have been successfully prepared and fully characterized. K2MnGe2Se6 shows paramagnetic behavior. The birefringence of Na2HgSn2Se6 is as large as 0.3107 and derives from the superposition of the polarizabilities of its fundamental building blocks, on the basis of first-principles calculations. Moreover, the flexible framework of the A2MIIMIV2Se6 family enables a variety of heterogeneous substitutions and thus offers possible birefringence tunability, which may inspire the design and exploratory synthesis of IR birefringent materials.

Abstract
The balance between second harmonic generation (SHG) intensity and laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT), together with phase-matchable behavior, is the key point for exploration of novel nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. In this work, the NLO property of defect wurtzite-type hexagonal-In2Se3 (γ) is extensively explored first. It exhibits a strong SHG intensity of 2.6 × AgGaS2 (AGS) at 2.1 μm, and a high powder LIDT of 7.3 × AGS. From wurtzite to γ-In2Se3, the birefringence changes from 0.003 to 0.075, resulting in the phase-matchable phenomenon of γ-In2Se3. This is well ascribed to the contribution of the unique InSe5 unit in γ-In2Se3 from the result of birefringence calculation and analysis.

Abstract
The first alkali-earth metal lead(ii) oxyhalide Ba8SrPb24O24Cl18 characterized by fascinating multimember-ring layers has been discovered. Theoretical and experimental investigations illustrate that Ba8SrPb24O24Cl18 exhibits a moderate band gap of 3.09 eV, incongruent melting behavior and birefringence of 0.014@1064 nm. This discovery may offer new ideas for regulating the optical properties of oxyhalides and broadening their structural diversity.
