Inorganic supramolecular compounds are the emergent class of infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. However, the reported inorganic supramolecular IR NLO pnictides are still scarce. In this work, a new inorganic supramolecular IR NLO phosphide, EuSiP, has been synthesized using the metal salt flux method. The structure of EuSiP features an anionic host framework containing the oriented [SiP] dual-T2 supertetrahedra with the guest Eu cations filling in the intervals. Additionally, EuSiP exhibits strong phase-matched (PM) second-harmonic generation (SHG) (4.0 × AgGaS), large birefringence (0.087 @2050 nm), and wide infrared transparency. This study highlights the potential of inorganic supramolecular pnictides for exploring high-performance IR NLO crystals.
无机超分子化合物是一类新兴的红外(IR)非线性光学(NLO)材料。然而,已报道的无机超分子红外NLO磷族化物仍然稀少。在这项工作中,采用金属盐助熔剂法合成了一种新型无机超分子红外NLO磷化物EuSiP。EuSiP的结构具有一个阴离子主体框架,其中包含取向的[SiP]双T2超四面体,客体Eu阳离子填充在其间隙中。此外,EuSiP表现出强的相位匹配(PM)二次谐波产生(SHG)(4.0×AgGaS)、大双折射(2050nm处为0.087)和宽红外透明度。这项研究突出了无机超分子磷族化物在探索高性能红外NLO晶体方面的潜力。
