The combination of π-conjugated groups [NO] and Cl-centered polyhedra generates a new birefringent crystal with a perovskite-related framework, KRb(NO)Cl, which is the first alkali metal nitrate chloride synthesized by a mild hydrothermal method. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group (no. 55). In addition, KRb(NO)Cl crystals with dimensions up to 7 × 1.5 × 1 mm were grown. Notably, KRb(NO)Cl has a short UV cut-off edge (below 228 nm) and a significantly enhanced birefringence (Δ = 0.084 at 1064 nm). Theoretical calculations indicate that the birefringence enhancement mainly derives from π-conjugated [NO] plane triangles.
π共轭基团[NO]与以Cl为中心的多面体相结合,生成了一种具有钙钛矿相关骨架的新型双折射晶体KRb(NO)Cl,这是通过温和水热法合成的第一种碱金属硝酸氯化物。它结晶于正交空间群(编号55)。此外,还生长出了尺寸达7×1.5×1毫米的KRb(NO)Cl晶体。值得注意的是,KRb(NO)Cl具有较短的紫外截止边缘(低于228纳米)和显著增强的双折射(在1064纳米处Δ = 0.084)。理论计算表明,双折射增强主要源于π共轭[NO]平面三角形。
