Abstract
Two antimony selenites, Sb2O2SeO3 and Sb2O(SeO3)2, were synthesized by simultaneously incorporating stereochemically active lone pair electrons containing SeO32- and Sb3+. These compounds are structured with [SbOx] polyhedra and [SeO3] units within a two-dimensional framework. Both of them exhibit cutoffs at 300 and 330 nm within the ultraviolet (UV) range and demonstrate significant birefringence, with indices of 0.069 and 0.126 at 546 nm, respectively. These properties highlight their potential as UV birefringent materials. Structural analyses and theoretical calculations reveal that their exceptional birefringence results from the synergistic interactions between SeO32- anions and Sb3+ cations.

Abstract
For non-centrosymmetric (NCS) oxides intended for ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) applications, achieving a wide band gap, large second harmonic generation (SHG) intensity, and sufficient birefringence to satisfy phase matching is a significant challenge due to their inherent incompatibility. To address this issue, this study proposes a strategy called framework-optimized structural transformation. Building upon centrosymmetric (CS) NaGa(SeO3)2 as a foundation, an original UV selenite NLO material, NaLu(SeO3)2, was successfully synthesized. The derived NaLu(SeO3)2 exhibits a balanced comprehensive performance, including a band gap (5.3 eV), an SHG response (2.7 × KDP), a UV cut-off edge (210 nm), a laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) (151.69 MW cm-2), birefringence (Cal: 0.138@546 nm, Exp: 0.153@546 nm), thermal stability (∼575 °C) and environmental stability. Notably, its SHG effect, band gap, LIDT, and birefringence are all the largest among UV non-hydrogen pure selenite materials. Such progress can be attributed to the successful arrangement of the SeO3 groups by optimizing the cations on the framework of the parent compound.

Abstract
Birefringent materials are key components to control the light polarization in laser science and technology as well as optical communication. However, the performance of current commercial birefringent materials has been limited by the magnitude of birefringence, optical transparency range, or the attainability of large-scale single crystals. To explore new birefringent materials, we strategically incorporated a lone pair cation (Se4+) with large optical anisotropy, an alkali metal, and halogen ions (Rb+ and Cl-) with superior UV transparent capacity; thus a new compound, RbCl·(H2SeO3)2, was successfully discovered with the aid of the facile hydrothermal method. Interestingly, Rb-Cl chains locate in the [H2SeO3]∞ skeleton, which makes RbCl·(H2SeO3)2 a salt-inclusion selenite. Millimeter-sized single crystals (up to 4 × 2 × 1 mm3) were obtained, and the transmittance spectrum revealed that its UV cut-off edge can be as low as 230 nm. In addition, the calculated birefringence of RbCl·(H2SeO3)2 is 0.14 at 589 nm that is similar to the birefringent value of famous α-BaB2O4. Wide UV transparency, large birefringence, and feasible crystal growth make RbCl·(H2SeO3)2 a new member of birefringent materials for UV light applications.

Abstract
Introducing electronegative species into organic constituents was considered to be one effective strategy for adjusting crystal symmetry and designing new nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. By substitution of C4 in piperidine (C5H11N) with electronegative oxygen, organic morpholine (C4H9NO) was easily obtained. Therefore, to design NLO crystals, we focused on combinations of stereochemically active lone-pair (SCALP) cation (Pb2+)-based chloride and bromide with morpholine molecules. In this work, two lead halide hybrid perovskite (C4H10NO)PbX3 (X = Cl, Br, abbreviated as MPbCl3 and MPbBr3, respectively) single crystals with moderate nonlinear optical properties were synthesized by a slow evaporation method. The two title crystals belong to orthorhombic space group P212121 with one-dimensional (1D) chainlike perovskite structures. Theoretical calculations revealed that the second harmonic generation (SHG) responses mainly originate from distorted {PbX6} octahedrons of the inorganic framework. Remarkably, moderate phase-matching SHG effects of about 0.70 and 0.81 times KH2PO4, large birefringences of 0.098 and 0.111 at 1064 nm, and large laser damage thresholds (LDTs) of 19.94 and 46.82 MW/cm2 were estimated for MPbCl3 and MPbBr3, respectively. This work provides a novel strategy for new purpose-designed hybrid NLO crystals by adjustment and modulation of chemical modification.

Abstract
Fluorine, as the most electronegative element, can replace the oxygen ligands of functional groups under given conditions. These fluoride groups are more or less different from the pure oxide groups in composition, symmetry, polarizability, transmittancy, etc. The rational use of these differences is expected to improve the probability of noncentrosymmetric structures and the comprehensive performance of second-harmonic-generation (SHG) materials. In this feature article, we introduce the recent developments in fluoride selenite and tellurite SHG materials together with highlighting our contributions, including Se(IV) and Te(IV) compounds with (i) d0 transition metal oxyfluoride octahedron, (ii) IIIA metal oxyfluoride octahedron, (iii) fluoride lone pair cation polyhedron, and (iv) other fluoride polyhedron. The future perspectives of fluoride selenite and tellurite SHG materials are also discussed.

Abstract
Birefringent crystals are very important optical materials, which are widely used in the fields of optics and communication. In this work, we reported a new iodate, NaGaI3O9F, synthesized by mild hydrothermal method. NaGaI3O9F crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/c (No. 14) and it featured a novel ∞[Ga2(IO3F)2(IO3)4]2- layer stacked with Na+ cations located in the void maintaining charge balance. Notably, IO3- and IO3F2- anionic units appeared in the same time in the A-Ga-I-O/F (A = alkali metal) system. According to the experimental characterization and theoretical calculations, NaGaI3O9F showed a wide bandgap (4.27 eV) and large birefringence (Δnexp∼ 0.203, Δncal = 0.197 at 1064 nm), indicating its potential use as a birefringent material.
