Abstract
Oriented synthesis of functional materials is a focus of attention in material science. As one of the most important function materials, infrared nonlinear optical materials with large second harmonic generation effects and broad optical band gap are in urgent need. In this work, directed by the theoretical structure prediction, the first series of non-centrosymmetric (NCS) alkali-alkaline earth metal [PS4]-based thiophosphates LiCaPS4 (Ama2), NaCaPS4 (P21), KCaPS4 (Pna21), RbCaPS4 (Pna21), CsCaPS4 (Pna21) were successfully synthesized. Comprehensive characterizations reveal that ACaPS4 could be regarded as promising IR NLO materials, exhibiting wide band gap (3.77-3.86 eV), moderate birefringence (0.027-0.064 at 1064 nm), high laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT, ~10×AGS), and suitable phase-matching second harmonic generation responses (0.4-0.6×AGS). Structure-properties analyses illustrate that the Ca-S bonds show non-ignorable covalent feature, and [PS4] together with [CaSn] units play dominant roles to determine the band gap and SHG response. This work indicates that Li-, Na- and K- analogs may be promising infrared nonlinear optical material candidates, and this is the first successful case of "prediction to synthesis" involving infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals in the thiophosphate system and may provide a new avenue to the design and oriented synthesis of high-performance function materials in the future.

Abstract
Two new family members of mixed alkali-earth metal phosphate and aluminophosphate CaMg(P4O12) and Cs3Al4(PO4)5 were prepared from a phosphate system using a high-temperature solution method. The structural analysis results show that two compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c and P21/n and feature a three-dimensional (3D) network. The 3D structure of CaMg(P4O12) consists of [CaO6], [MgO6] octahedra and [P4O12] rings, in which the [MgO6] and [P4O12] rings link to form a 3D structure and Ca2+ cations are filled within the structure. Interestingly, for compound Cs3Al4(PO4)5, its structure features 4, 8, and 12-ring channels with [Al2O4O4P2O4], [Al4O8O8P4O8] and [Al6O12O12P6O12] units as BBUs, respectively; the Cs+ cations are located in the cavities. Furthermore, IR spectral analysis and thermal properties are discussed. UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy data show that the UV cutoff edges of CaMg(P4O12) are below 200 nm. Remarkably, in order to determine optical properties and the structure-properties relationship, theoretical calculations were adopted. Electronic structure calculations demonstrate that CaMg(P4O12) has an indirect band gap with the value of 5.86 eV, and Cs3Al4(PO4)5 has a direct band gap of 5.21 eV.

Abstract
By introducing the d0 metal cation Mo6+ into phosphates, two new molybdophosphates, K2MgMoP2O10 and K3Mg2MoP3O14, were synthesized by spontaneous crystallization, and their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. K2MgMoP2O10 shows a two-dimensional layer composed of the uncommon eight-membered ring [Mo2P2O16] formed by [MoO6] and [PO4], while K3Mg2MoP3O14 shows isolated [MoP3O14] clusters composed of [MoO5] and [PO4]. K2MgMoP2O10 and K3Mg2MoP3O14 have UV cut-off wavelengths of 277 and 271 nm, respectively, which are significantly shorter than those of most recently published molybdophosphates. To the best of our acknowledge, K2MgMoP2O10 exhibits the largest birefringence (a calculated value of 0.187 at 546 nm) among reported alkali metal or alkaline earth metal molybdophosphates, which provides a way to explore new birefringent materials. First-principles analysis of the electronic structure shows that the large birefringence of K2MgMoP2O10 mainly originates from the [MoO6] units.

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
This study pioneers a novel strategy for synthesizing solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals through functional groups sequential construction, effectively addressing the inherent trade-offs among broad transmittance, enhanced second-harmonic generation (SHG), and optimal birefringence. We have developed two innovative van der Waals layered germanous phosphites: GeHPO3, the first Ge(II)-based oxide NLO crystal which exhibits a black phosphorus-like structure, and K(GeHPO3)2Br, distinguished by its exceptional birefringence and graphene-like structure. Significantly, GeHPO3 exhibits a remarkable array of NLO properties, including the highest SHG coefficient recorded among all NLO crystals for phase-matching and generating 266 nm coherent light via quadruple frequency conversion. It delivers a potent SHG intensity, surpassing KH2PO4 (KDP) by 10.3 times at 1064 nm and β-BaB2O4 by 1.3 times at 532 nm, complemented by a distinct UV absorption edge at 211 nm and moderate birefringence of 0.062 at 546 nm. Comprehensive theoretical analysis links these exceptional characteristics to the unique NLO-active GeO3 4- units and the distinctive, highly ordered layered structures. Our findings deliver essential experimental insights into the development of Ge(II)-based optoelectronic materials and present a strategic blueprint for engineering structure-driven functional materials with customized properties.

Abstract
Two remarkable aluminum borophosphates (AlBPOs), namely, Na3[Al2B6P4O22(OH)3](H2O)6 (denoted as ABPO1) and Na3[Al2BP2O11](H2O)0.5 (denoted as ABPO2), have been designed and prepared by low-temperature flux syntheses. The exceptional open framework structure of ABPO1 is formed by a unique microanionic network [Al2B6P4O22(OH)3]n3-, which contains three types of 8-, 12-, and 16-membered ring (MR) tunnels. Interestingly, these tunnels are featured by a type of super-nanocage as large as ∼1.753 nm × 1.753 nm × 1.753 nm, which is the first example of AlBPOs containing extra-large cages. Importantly, it was found that Na+ can be partially exchanged by K+, Sr2+, Cd2+, and Ni2+, which means that it is a potential ionic exchanger for removing radionuclides and toxic cations. The structure of ABPO2 features a unique 2D anionic AlBPO layer composed of corner-sharing AlO6 octahedra and AlO4, BO4, and PO4 tetrahedra. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of both AlO6 octahedra and AlO4 tetrahedra being contained in the structure. 9-MRs can be observed along the b-axis. Herein, the syntheses and topological structures of ABPO1 and ABPO2 as well as elemental analysis, thermal stability, infrared spectroscopy, UV-vis diffuse reflectance, structural properties, and ionic exchange properties are also discussed.

Abstract
Two deep ultraviolet (DUV) hydroxylated-alkali-metal borates, NaRbB10O14(OH)4 (I) and Na3CsB10O16(OH)2 (II), have been successfully synthesized by a high-temperature solution and solvothermal method. Both of them feature [B5Om(OH)n] units, which form chains for (I) and bilayers with nine-membered boron rings for (II). It is worth noting that both compounds exhibit very wide theoretical band gaps of 7.33 and 6.55 eV for (I) and (II), respectively, which denotes that they should have desirable DUV transmittance ability. Moreover, the title compounds have moderate birefringence owing to the π-conjugated [BO3], [BO2(OH)] groups, corresponding to 0.070 for (I) and 0.054 for (II) at 1064 nm. The structure characteristics and optical properties were also investigated and discussed. The results make it beneficial for exploring novel DUV hydroxylated borate optical crystals.

Abstract
As for tetrahedron-based ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystals, it is so difficult to achieve a sufficient birefringence to satisfy the phase-matching condition. Thereover, it is necessary to greatly increase the polarizability anisotropy of tetrahedra. Meanwhile, the tetrahedra should be arranged as uniformly as possible. Based on these ideas, a new strategy that dimerizes the heteroleptic tetrahedra with heteroleptic atoms as bridges is proposed and implemented, resulting in a new compound, Na2S3O6, which crystallizes in a centrosymmetric monoclinic phase (phase-I) and a non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic one (phase-II). In the phase-I, a large birefringence of 0.103 @ 546 nm comparable to those of many triangle-based crystals is confirmed experimentally, indicating the ability of [S3O6] group in improving the birefringence. Besides, the phase-II exhibits an improved birefringence of 0.056 @ 546 nm and a moderate second harmonic generation response of 1.4 × KH2PO4. In particular, the phase-II exhibits a typical phase-matching behavior under the irradiation of 532 nm laser. Moreover, the excellent optical properties of [S3O6] group are further verified by theoretical calculations. These results completely illustrate the validity of the design strategy. Therefore, this work lights a new route for exploring novel ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystals.

Abstract
It remains a significant hurdle for discovering birefringent materials in the deep ultraviolet (DUV, λ < 200 nm). It is well-known that the OH anions are recognized for their capability to eliminate the dangling bonds from terminal oxygen atoms, promoting the ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge blueshift and regulating the crystal structure. Here, two new barium hydroxyborates, Ba3B11O18(OH)3(H2O) (BaBOH) and Na2BaB10O16(OH)2(H2O)2 (NaBaBOH), were designed and synthesized while displaying different dimensions. Remarkably, BaBOH presents novel one-dimensional (1D) [B22O37(OH)6]∞ double-chains formed by a new fundamental building block (FBB)[B11O21(OH)3]. NaBaBOH possesses a 2D [B10O16(OH)2]∞ layer with a less common FBB [B10O19(OH)2]. They enrich the structural diversity of hydroxyborates. Moreover, NaBaBOH exhibits a broad transparent window within the DUV spectral range (<190 nm) and possesses a favorable birefringence of 0.064. Furthermore, detailed summaries and structural comparisons have been implemented for all hydroxyborates containing alkali and alkaline-earth metals. This reveals that the OH group modulation strategy can be appropriately employed for the structural design.

Abstract
Discovering new deep ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is the current research hotspot. However, how to perfectly integrate several stringent performances into a crystal is a great challenge because of the natural incompatibility among them, particularly wide band gap and large NLO coefficient. To tackle the challenge, a boron-rich closed-loop strategy is supposed, based on which a new barium borate, Ba4B14O25, is designed and synthesized successfully via the high-temperature solid-state melting method. It features a highly polymeric 3D geometry with the closed-loop anionic framework [B14O25]8- constructed by the fundamental building blocks [B14O33]24-. The high-density π-conjugated [BO3]3- groups and the fully closed-loop B-O-B connections make Ba4B14O25 possess excellent NLO properties, including short UV cutoff edge (<200 nm), large second harmonic generation response (3.0 × KDP) and phase-matching capability, being a promising DUV-transparent NLO candidate material. The work provides a creative design strategy for the exploration of DUV NLO crystals.

Abstract
Designing wide-bandgap chalcogenides is one of the most important ways of obtaining high-performance infrared (IR) functional materials. In this work, two Mg-based metal thiophosphates, namely Na6Mg3P4S16 (NMPS) and RbMg2PS4Cl2 (RMPSC), were successfully obtained by introducing [MgS6] and [MgSxCl6-x] octahedra into thiophosphates. In addition, their crystal structures were determined, a first for Mg-containing [PS4]-based thiophosphates to the best of our knowledge. Their bandgaps were investigated in theoretical ways and verified by taking experimental measurements, and determined to be 3.80 eV for NMPS and 3.93 eV for RMPSC, values greater than those of the other investigated thiophosphate halides. The wide bandgaps of NMPS and RMPSC were attributed, based on theoretical calculations, to the [MgSxCl6-x] (x = 0-6) octahedron.

Abstract
The first compound of cadmium-borate silicate Cd8(BO3)4SiO4, crystallizing in space group P42/n (no. 86), has been successfully synthesized by the conventional high-temperature solution method and melts congruently. The zero-dimensional anionic groups of Cd8(BO3)4SiO4 are isolated [BO3] triangles and isolated [SiO4] tetrahedra which are filled in the framework formed by [CdO6] polyhedra. It has a moderate birefringence (Δn = 0.053 at 546 nm), which is measured by experiment and evaluated by first-principles calculations; meanwhile, the source of birefringence is revealed through the response electronic distribution anisotropy method. The UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectrum indicates that Cd8(BO3)4SiO4 possesses a wide optical transparency range, with a UV cutoff edge at about 254 nm. This work enriches the structure chemistry of borate silicates, and we discussed the possible methods for the exploration and synthesis of novel optical crystals possessing zero-dimensional anionic groups in the borate silicate system.

Abstract
A new borophosphate, K2RbB8PO16 (KRBPO) was synthesized. It exhibits a bilayer structure consisting of two B-O layers with an 18-membered ring (18-MR) joined by [PO4], which is composed of the π-conjugated group [BO3] and non-π-conjugated groups [BO4] and [PO4]. The UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy shows that the cutoff edge is less than 200 nm. The calculation indicates that KRBPO exhibits moderate birefringence of 0.057@1064 nm, and the source of birefringence is mainly from the [BO3] groups.

Abstract
Low-dimensional crystalline materials have attracted much attention due to their special physical and chemical properties. Herein, two new oxalate chlorides, C(NH2)3Cd(C2O4)Cl(H2O)·H2O and BaCd(C2O4)1.5Cl(H2O)2, were synthesized. C(NH2)3Cd(C2O4)Cl(H2O)·H2O presents the unique {[Cd(C2O4)Cl(H2O)]-}∞ zigzag chain, while BaCd(C2O4)1.5Cl(H2O)2 shows a novel {[Cd(C2O4)1.5Cl]2-}∞ layer. They showed large measured band gaps, which were 3.76 and 4.53 eV, respectively, and the latter was the largest band gap in the A-M-C2O4-X (A = Monovalent cationic or alkaline earth metals, X = F, Cl, Br, I) family. They exhibit a large calculated birefringence of 0.075 and 0.096 at 1064 nm, respectively. This study promotes the exploration of synthesizing low-dimensional crystalline materials with balanced overall optical performances by a chemical scissors strategy.

Abstract
Birefringent crystals can modulate and detect the polarization of light and are important optical functional materials. The birefringence is positively correlated to the anisotropy of the structure. By partially substituting sulfate anion with large electronegative fluorine in the parent compound Y2(SO4)3·8H2O, a new fluorinated rare-earth sulfate YSO4F·H2O with enhanced anisotropy was achieved. YSO4F·H2O features a dense 3D structure constructed by the polarizable [YOF] polyhedra and [SO4] tetrahedra. The diffuse reflectance spectrum reveals that it has a short UV absorption edge of below 200 nm. The substitution of the F- ion enhances the optical anisotropy, making the material exhibit an enhanced birefringence (0.0357 at 546 nm), which is 5.1 times that of the parent compound and is also larger than most deep-UV birefringent sulfates. It is expected that this work may shed useful insights in the exploration of deep-UV birefringent materials with enhanced optical performances..

Abstract
The first hydroxyfluorooxoborate-nitrate mixed anion compound, K5[B3O3F4(OH)]2(NO3), was synthesized by the solution evaporation method. It displays a unique structure built by K+ cations, the hydroxylated and fluorinated six-membered ring [B3O3F4(OH)] and [NO3] groups. It possesses a band gap of 5.68 eV derived from the diffuse reflectance spectrum, which corresponds to an ultraviolet cutoff edge of 218 nm. First-principles calculations show that it has a large birefringence of 0.095 at 532 nm and the result of the response electron distribution anisotropy method indicates that all three anion groups contribute positively to the birefringence, verifying the synergic contributions from the multiple anion groups.

Abstract
The borate family is the main source of deep-ultraviolet (DUV) birefringent crystals, and it has attracted a lot of attention due to versatile [B-O] basic units. Herein, two new borate-based compounds Na6Mg3B10O18F6 and K3NaB10O16F2 were discovered. Their fundamental building blocks are [B5O11] and [B5O10F] units, respectively. The calculated results showed that the band gap and birefringence of K3NaB10O16F2 (Eg = 6.93 eV, Δn = 0.047 at 1064 nm) are greater than those of Na6Mg3B10O18F6 (Eg = 5.40 eV, Δn = 0.039 at 1064 nm). Furthermore, the effects of [B-O/F] units on band gap and birefringence were analyzed by the charge-transfer model and response electron distribution anisotropy method. The results show that introducing the [B-O/F] units can improve the band gap and birefringence. These findings will boost the exploration of DUV birefringent opticals.

Abstract
Three polyborates, namely, LiNa11B28O48, Li1.45Na7.55B21O36, and Li2Na4Ca7Sr2B13O27F9, were synthesized via the high-temperature solution method. All of them feature high-symmetry [B12O24] units, yet their anion groups exhibit distinct dimensions. LiNa11B28O48 features a three-dimensional anionic structure of 3[B28O48]∞ framework, which is composed of three units: [B12O24], [B15O30], and [BO3]. Li1.45Na7.55B21O36 possesses a one-dimensional anionic structure of 1[B21O36]∞ chain consisting of [B12O24] and [B9O18] units. The anionic structure of Li2Na4Ca7Sr2B13O27F9 is composed of two zero-dimensional isolated units, namely, [B12O24] and [BO3]. The novel FBBs [B15O30] and [B21O39] are present in LiNa11B28O48 and Li1.45Na7.55B21O36, respectively. The anionic groups in these compounds exhibit a high degree of polymerization, thereby augmenting the structural diversity of borates. And the crystal structure, synthesis, thermal stability, and optical properties were meticulously discussed to guide the synthesis and characterization of novel polyborates.

Abstract
Borates provide an excellent platform for investigating the optical nonlinearity and linearity of crystals as photoelectric functional materials. In our work, borate derivatives with isolated [B3O3] six-membered rings as structural features are the preferred system due to their simple functional units and excellent properties. Herein, by utilizing the target-oriented synthesis, a series of borate derivatives, A2[B3O3F4(OH)] (A= NH4, Rb, Cs) (ABOFH), K2.3Cs0.7B3O3F6 (KCsBOF), and Cs3[B3O3(OH)3]Cl3 (CsBOHCl), with novel heteroanionic groups containing [BOxF4-x] (x = 0-3) and/or [BO2(OH)] units were obtained. ABOFH, KCsBOF, and CsBOHCl construct different two-dimensional pesudolayers featuring [B3O3F4(OH)], [B3O3F6], and [B3O3(OH)3] units, respectively. Also, the optical properties and the arrangement information of these anionic groups were studied. Among the total five compounds, (NH4)2[B3O3F4(OH)] and Cs3[B3O3(OH)3]Cl3 with enlarged birefringence and sufficient band gaps were screened out as promising birefringent crystals due to the optimally aligned configuration of birefringence-active heteroanionic units. The successful results of target-oriented synthesis indicate a more profound conclusion that the borate system now has more diversified structural chemistry, and an effective strategy was proposed to modify the arrangement and species of anionic units to optimize the performance of optical crystals.

Abstract
Regulating the crystal structure by A-site cation substitution is one of the effective methods to explore high-performance nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Herein, two non-centrosymmetric (NCS) compounds, α-MZnPO4 (M = Li, K) with short UV absorption edges 221 and 225 nm, are obtained by performing A-site cation substitution method. It is noteworthy that α-LiZnPO4 (α-LZPO) achieves >10 times second harmonic generation (SHG) response (2.3 × KDP) enhancement compared with that of α-KZnPO4 (α-KZPO) (0.2 × KDP), which is the only case among phosphates with different A-site cations. By structural comparison, it is found that the A-site cations play important roles for anion rearrangements, and further the structure features of the two compounds by designing two suppositional crystal models as well as performing other theoretical calculations are analyzed. The study confirms the feasibility to design promising NLO materials with strengthen SHG response and structural stability in orthophosphate system.

Abstract
Fluorooxoborates are promising yet largely untapped crystal materials for linear and nonlinear optical applications. The introduction of a strong electronegative F atom into an oxyboron anionic group offers a virtually unlimited chance for structural engineering and ultimately purposeful tuning of the macroscopic optical properties of the crystal. Herein, a new mixed alkali/alkaline-earth fluorooxoborate, Na2BaB12O18F4, was synthesized in a closed system. Na2BaB12O18F4 features a [B6O11F2] fundamental building unit (FBB), which polymerizes into two new (first example) independent interpenetrating three-dimensional (3D) B-O/F anionic networks constructed entirely from BO3 and BO3F units. Based on optical characterizations and the first-principles calculations, Na2BaB12O18F4 exhibits a moderate birefringence (0.054 @ 1064 nm) and a short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge (below 190 nm). The successful synthesis and characterization of Na2BaB12O18F4 may speed up the subsequent discovery of other mixed alkali/alkaline-earth metal fluorooxoborates.

Abstract
Borate has become a hot topic because of its rich structural chemistry and excellent properties for functional materials fields. The rearrangement of π-conjugated B-O units is key to enhancing the optical anisotropy, but it remains a challenge. Herein, by introducing [AlO4] tetrahedra, a new congruent melting aluminoborate LiCs3AlB7O14 with [B7O14] clusters was discovered. This work confirms that the introduction of [AlO4] tetrahedra can lead to the rearrangement of anionic framework of the borate system and thereby enhance the birefringence of LiCs3AlB7O14. The birefringence is about 4.1 times higher than that of its congener Li4Cs3B7O14 with the same [B7O14] clusters. Similarly, the effects of [AlO4] tetrahedra on the rearrangement of the B-O anionic framework are also demonstrated in other known borates.

Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals, being the primary medium for laser wavelength conversion, are crucial in all-solid-state lasers. Borophosphates offer more structural varieties than pure borates and phosphates, and they have become popular as NLO crystal candidates. Through spontaneous crystallization, we acquired a noncentrosymmetric alkali metal borophosphate crystal material, K2Na3B2P3O13 (KNBPO). KNBPO crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc21 space group with the following unit cell parameters: a = 13.9238(18) Å, b = 6.7673(8) Å, c = 12.1298(15) Å, and Z = 4, and its structure is characterized by a fundamental building unit 1∞ [B2P3O13] chain structure made up of bridging oxygen linkages between BO4 and PO4 tetrahedra. KNBPO has a short ultraviolet (UV) cut-off edge (<186 nm), a congruent melting characteristic, good thermal stability, and a moderate second harmonic generation response roughly 0.42 times that of KH2PO4. Theoretical calculations reveal that the optical properties of the compound mainly originate from BO4 and PO4 units. Due to the short UV cut-off edge, KNBPO can be used as a potential NLO material in the UV and even deep UV regions, and it enhances the structural variety of borophosphates, which has a reference value for scholars investigating similar materials.

Abstract
Through the rational design of the experimental method, the first combination of ammonium and magnesium in the borate system was successfully achieved. In this paper, a case of ammonium magnesium borate, (NH4)2{Mg(H2O)2[B6O7(OH)6]2}·2H2O, was successfully synthesized by a mild hydrothermal method at a relatively low temperature. A brief review was performed to show the participation of NH4+ in the recent development of optical materials. By discussing the optimum synthesis method of ammonium-containing borates and the main factors affecting the dimensionality of B-O anionic groups in their structures, the design strategy for synthesizing ammonium-containing borate and adjusting its structure has been put forward. Relevant experimental measurement results and the first-principles calculation results show that the title compound has a deep-UV cutoff edge (<200 nm) and moderate birefringence (Δncal. = 0.064 @546 nm), which indicates its potential application in the deep-UV region.

Abstract
A fluoroborophosphate, BaB2P2O8F2, was successfully obtained. Its structure contains a novel [B2P2O8F2]∞ layer containing six-membered rings, which is formed by the fundamental building block composed of three types of non-π-conjugated groups, [PO4], [BO4], and [BO2F2]. BaB2P2O8F2 has a deep-ultraviolet (DUV) cutoff edge (λ < 200 nm) and a tiny birefringence (Δn = 0.007 at 532 nm), which originates from the constituent non-π-conjugated groups. The title compound enriches the versatility of the fluoroborophosphates, encouraging further research into DUV materials in fluoroborophosphate systems.

Abstract
Exploration of nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals that are competent in generating short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV, λ ≤ 266 nm, and even deep-UV, λ ≤ 200 nm) coherent light output by direct second harmonic generation (SHG) remains a formidable challenge. Herein, four UV/deep-UV NLO crystals, M2B4SO10 (M = K, Rb, and Cs) and Rb3B11PO19F3, were successfully synthesized by evolving the KBe2BO3F2 (KBBF) structure into mixed-anionic borosulfate and fluoroborophosphate systems. They display functional [B4SO10]∞ or [B11PO19F3]∞ KBBF-type layers that are composed of [BO3], [BO4], and [SO4] groups or [BO3], [BO4], [BO3F], and [PO4] groups, respectively. Experimental characterization and numerical computation results indicate that these crystals possess exceptional NLO performance, including large SHG responses (0.9-1.7 × KDP at 1064 nm and 0.1-0.3 × β-BBO at 532 nm) and adequate birefringence to fulfill the SHG phase-matching (PM) condition at 266 nm. In particular, the shortest type-I PM wavelength (λPM) of Rb3B11PO19F3 reaches 180 nm, which implies that Rb3B11PO19F3 can become a prospective deep-UV NLO crystal. In addition, single crystals of K2B4SO10, Rb2B4SO10, and Cs2B4SO10 are easily obtained by the high-temperature solution approach. This work will facilitate the discovery of short-wavelength PM NLO crystals by using the KBBF structure as the template.

Abstract
The design of new birefringent materials is very significant owing to their indispensable role in modulating the polarization of light and is vital in laser technology. Herein, by applying a large optical anisotropy-oriented construction induced by a synergy effect of multiple anionic groups, a promising carbonate-nitrate chloride, Na3Rb6(CO3)3(NO3)2Cl·(H2O)6, has been designed and synthesized successfully by the solvent evaporation method and single crystals of centimeter size were obtained by the recrystallization method in aqueous solution. It crystallizes in the hexagonal P63/mcm space group, the RbO9Cl polyhedra and the NaO7 polyhedra construct a three-dimensional (3D) framework by sharing O or Cl atoms and trigonal plane units (CO3 and NO3). The transmittance spectrum based on a 1 mm thick single-crystal plate shows that its short UV cut-off edge is about 231 nm. And the refractive index differences (0.14 @ 546 nm) measured by using a polarizing microscope on the (101) crystal plane, proves that Na3Rb6(CO3)3(NO3)2Cl·(H2O)6 has a large birefringence, which has potential application in the solar blind ultraviolet region. The theoretical calculations reveal that the π-conjugated CO3 and NO3 groups are the main cause of the birefringence. It demonstrates that combining π-conjugated CO3 and NO3 groups in one structure is an extremely effective strategy to explore new UV birefringent crystals.

Abstract
A new sodium hydroxyfluorooxoborate, NaB3O4F(OH) (NBOFH), was discovered and synthesized. NBOFH features the unprecedented [B3O4F(OH)] infinite chain constructed by the novel fundamental building block (FBB) of [B3O5F(OH)]. NBOFH has a large birefringence of 0.097 at 1064 nm and short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge below 200 nm. First-principles calculations and response electron distribution anisotropy (REDA) were performed to explain the structure-property relationships. This work provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of deep-ultraviolet birefringent crystals and enriches the structural diversity of the emerging hydroxyfluorooxoborates.
