Abstract
Designing new compounds based on anion regulation has been widely favored due to the production of diverse crystal structures and excellent optical properties. Here, a new nitrate oxyfluoride, Hg16O12(NO3)6F2(H2O), has been obtained through a hydrothermal reaction. It crystallizes in the centric Ibca space group and shows a novel three-dimensional [(Hg16O12F2(H2O))6+]∞ cationic framework composed of interconnected HgO2F, HgO3, and HgO2(H2O) units, with isolated NO3- groups as balanced anions to build the whole structure. Notably, the HgO2F and HgO2(H2O) units are first presented here among mercury (Hg)-based compounds. Additionally, Hg16O12(NO3)6F2(H2O) exhibits a large birefringence of 0.17 at 546 nm. This work enriches the multiformity of Hg-based compounds and provides a route for developing promising birefringent materials.

Abstract
Enhancing anisotropy through an effective synergistic arrangement of anionic and cationic groups is crucial for improving the birefringence optical properties of materials. In this work, by transforming I-O into I-F through the fluorination strategy, two metal-free guanidine fluorooxoiodates (C(NH2)3)2(I2O5F)(IO3)(H2O) and C(NH2)3IO2F2 and one guanidine iodate C(NH2)3IO3 were successfully synthesized using the hydrothermal method. An unprecedented dimer [I2O5F] formed by [IO3F] and [IO3] in (C(NH2)3)2(I2O5F)(IO3)(H2O) was found, which greatly enriches the structural diversity of fluorooxoiodates. All three compounds feature a relatively large birefringence (Δn = 0.068, 0.110 and 0.075 at 546 nm) and a short ultraviolet cutoff edge. The theoretical calculation was carried out to understand the electronic structures and linear optical properties.

Abstract
An optically anisotropic alkali-earth-metal gallium fluoroiodate, Ba2[GaF5(IO3F)] (1), was ingeniously obtained by integrating fluoride and fluoroiodate functional units under moderate hydrothermal conditions. It features a three-dimensional (3D) structure constructed by the highly polarizable fluoroiodate unit [IO3F] and the fluoride groups [GaOF5] and [BaO3Fx] (x = 6, 7). The compound is stable at temperatures up to 500 °C. With the synergistic interaction between [IO3F] and the fluoride groups, the mixed-metal fluoroiodate induces a short ultraviolet cutoff edge at about 230 nm, a medium measured birefringence of 0.068 @ 550 nm, and a wide optical transparent window (0.34-11.9 μm), indicating that 1 has potential applications as a birefringent material from near-UV to mid-infrared. Theoretical calculations prove that the optical characteristics of the compound are mainly attributed to [IO3F] and the fluoride functional groups. This work demonstrates that the presence of various specific functional groups in compounds will help to develop promising inorganic functional materials possessing good optical performance.

Abstract
Fluorine-containing borate crystal materials are particularly attractive due to their rich structural chemistry and excellent properties for optical applications. In this work, a new compound Ba3.75MgB7O14F2.5 has been synthesized through the high-temperature solution method. In the crystal structure of Ba3.75MgB7O14F2.5, the [B7O14] basic building unit and the [MgO3F3] octahedra are interconnected to create a complex three-dimensional network. The structural feature of the less commonly observed [B7O14] units is discussed, and it has been found that such units in Ba3.75MgB7O14F2.5 are most conducive to achieving large birefringence. In addition, Ba3.75MgB7O14F2.5 exhibits good thermal stability, a short ultraviolet cutoff of 203 nm, and large birefringence (0.081@546 nm), indicating its potential as a new UV birefringent crystal.

Abstract
A series of ammonium-containing fluoroiodates, NH4IO2F2 and (NH4)3(IO2F2)3·H2O, with isolated [IO2F2] units have been fabricated by a fluorine-oxygen substitution strategy from NH4IO3. The two compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic system, but in different space groups, noncentrosymmetric Pca21 for NH4IO2F2 and centrosymmetric Pnma for (NH4)3(IO2F2)3·H2O, and show wide band gaps of 4.53 eV for (NH4IO2F2) and 4.55 eV for ((NH4)3(IO2F2)3·H2O). In addition, NH4IO2F2 exhibits a 1.2 × KDP second harmonic generation response, a short ultraviolet cutoff edge in iodates, and a good crystal growth habit. The crystal of NH4IO2F2 with a size of 11 × 5 × 2 mm3 was obtained by the aqueous solution method. The results enrich the structural diversity of iodate and supply a greater understanding of the design of new functional materials based on the fluoroiodates.

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 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.

Abstract
Birefringence, an important optical performance parameter for optoelectronic functional materials, is mainly influenced by the types of anion groups and their spatial arrangement. Inspired by the relationship between the structure and properties of chalcogenides, combined with the dimensional transformation, we successfully synthesized a sulfide compound (Cs2ZnSn3S8) with a two-dimensional layered structure and a large birefringence. The experimental results showed that, compared with Rb10Zn4Sn4S17, Cs2ZnSn3S8 achieved the structural transition from a zero-dimensional arrangement to a two-dimensional lamellar arrangement and achieved a breakthrough of birefringence from 0 to 0.12, which was determined by both experiments and first-principles calculations. These findings demonstrated that Cs2ZnSn3S8 was a potential birefringent material and provided instructions for the study of the synthesis of birefringent materials.
