Abstract

Chalcogenide supertetrahedral functional units play a vital role in both fundamental research and technological applications, but discovering new types of these units remains a significant challenge. This gap is largely due to the difficulty in inducing stable, novel supertetrahedral structures with unique properties. In this work, we successfully synthesize [Ba₂₂(SO₄)₅][Zn₁₄Ga₁₈S₅₈] (BZGSO), the first sulfate-incorporated salt-inclusion chalcogenide, using high-temperature solid-state methods. BZGSO features a unique, noncentrosymmetric FTW-type framework composed of unprecedented pseudosupertetrahedral [Zn₁₃Ga₁₆S₅₈] functional units. These units are formed by defective [Zn₃Ga₄S₁₆] clusters around a [ZnS₆] octahedron. Notably, BZGSO exhibits promising characteristics for infrared nonlinear optical applications. The theoretical analysis reveals key structure–property relationships, and a systematic study of X/Zn/Ga/S compounds suggests a trend in structural dimensionality based on [X/(Zn+Ga)] ratios. This work not only advances the understanding of supertetrahedral chemistry but also paves the way for the discovery of materials with potential technological applications.

盐包体非线性光学材料[Ba22(SO4)5][Zn14Ga18S58]中伪超四面体功能单元的发现

硫系超四面体功能单元在基础研究和技术应用中都发挥着重要作用，但发现新型的超四面体功能单元仍然是一个重大挑战。这种差距很大程度上是由于难以诱导出具有独特性质的稳定、新颖的超四面体结构。在这项工作中，我们成功地用高温固相方法合成了第一个硫酸盐包合盐硫系化合物[Ba22(SO4)5][Zn14Ga18S58] （BZGSO）。BZGSO具有独特的非中心对称ftw型框架，由前所未有的伪超四面体[Zn13Ga16S58]功能单元组成。这些单元是由[ZnS6]八面体周围有缺陷的[Zn3Ga4S16]簇形成的。值得注意的是，BZGSO在红外非线性光学应用中表现出良好的特性。理论分析揭示了X/Zn/Ga/S化合物的关键结构-性能关系，系统研究表明[X/(Zn+Ga)]比值是结构维数变化的趋势。这项工作不仅促进了对超四面体化学的理解，而且为发现具有潜在技术应用价值的材料铺平了道路。
