Two unprecedented metal borate-iodates, SrB(OH) (SBIO) and LiSrBO(OH) (LSBIO), were synthesized via the strategy of introducing (IO) into borates. In particular, the LSBIO possessed a new BO fundamental building block (FBB). The two compounds integrated the advantages of both pure iodates and borates, showing enlarged band gaps and birefringence. Moreover, diverse B-O FBBs achieved the modulation of birefringence. This work reported the first two examples of borate-iodates.
