Abstract
Eight new compounds, namely K7MgSc2(B5O10)3, K7Sr0.34Sc2.44(B5O10)3, K6Li0.94BaY2.02(B5O10)3, K6NaBaY2(B5O10)3, Rb5.3Na3.7Y2(B5O10)3, Rb6Na1.5Y2.5(B5O10)3, K6Na1.82Y2.18(B5O10)3, and K7Mg0.88Zn0.12Y2(B5O10)3, were successfully synthesized with the aid of the flexibility of isolated anion groups. All the compounds crystallize in the non-centrosymmetric (NCS) space group R32. Their structures feature a zero-dimensional configuration composed of isolated [B5O10] groups, which are connected by an [MO6]-based octahedron, forming a three-dimensional framework with tunnels filled by the other cations. The compounds show an appropriate second harmonic generation (SHG) response, comparable to that of commercial KH2PO4 (KDP), and a short ultraviolet (UV) cut-off edge (<190 nm), achieving optimal balance between the two critical parameters for nonlinear optical (NLO) applications in the UV region. Additionally, for a deeper investigation of the structural flexibility, a comparison was carried out in A7MRE2(B5O10)3 (A = alkali metal, M = divalent element, and RE = rare earth metal) structures. The fascinating results indicate that the single point link between the M cation-centered octahedron and isolated [B5O10] groups increases the structural flexibility and adjustability to accommodate varied cations, providing the foundations for the design of novel compositions.
