The results indicated that TFEOC and TFPOC were crystallized in noncentrosymmetric space groups. Optimization of the carbon chain (−CH₃) length effectively altered the molecular arrangement. The molecular stacking arrangement, band gap size, specific atomic contributions to the density of states, and NLO coefficients were analyzed to understand the origin of nonlinearity. The powder second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiencies of TFEOC and TFPOC were 4.32 and 8.72 times greater than KDP, respectively. It is worth noting that both crystals have large bandgaps and wide transparent ranges. Furthermore, THz output from both crystals was obtained for the first time via optical rectification, with the spectral width of the TFPOC crystal, designed by elongating the alkyl chain, slightly exceeding that of trans-4′-(dimethylamino)-<i>N</i>-methyl-4-stilbazolium tosylate (DAST).</p>","PeriodicalId":34,"journal":{"name":"Crystal Growth & Design","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142585677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the influence of Steven’s flow and natural convection, the Al vapor returns to the AlN source surface or the low-temperature zone at the wall of the crucible for deposition, which not only affects the subsequent transmission of Al vapor but also the polycrystalline deposition layer is difficult to clean. Therefore, this work investigates the influence of AlN source surface shape for Al vapor transfer efficiency and analyzes the reasons for three AlN source surface shapes leading to different transport paths within the crucible. It is found that the convex surface is favorable for the optimization of Al vapor transport, which can significantly increase the growth rate of the AlN crystal. The growth zone on the convex surface has a higher temperature under the same conditions, and the dislocation density of the AlN crystals appears to be significantly reduced; the growth modes on both convex and concave surfaces have been improved.

Comparison of H-bonding strength with PVPVA for chlorpropamide and tolbutamide revealed that they were similar; however, the interaction landscape was stronger for chlorpropamide-PVPVA, owing to the formation of additional coexistent X-bonds. Recrystallization onset times (<i>t</i>_crys) were identified using simultaneous X-ray diffraction–differential scanning calorimetry (XRD-DSC) at seven isothermal conditions, and the phase boundaries were built using increasing PVPVA concentrations.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), as a class of porous physical adsorbents, have demonstrated remarkable success in the separation and purification of light hydrocarbons. By applying the reticular chemistry approach, we have rationally designed and synthesized two isoreticular compounds (named CoTPTA and MnTPTA) with novel low-valent {M–O–M} rod secondary building units (SBUs) based on the tetracarboxylic acid ligand H₄TPTA ([1,1′:3′,1″-terphenyl]-4,4′,4″,6′-tetracarboxylic acid). Both compounds displayed outstanding chemical stability when exposed to various organic solvents. In addition, a series of gas adsorption experiments demonstrated that they both have good C₂H₂ purification ability.
