Non-centrosymmetric (NCS) compounds can exhibit many symmetry-dependent functional properties, yet their rational structure design remains a great challenge. Herein, a strategy to introduce F-centered octahedra to construct a perovskite-type framework filled by π-conjugated [BO] dimers is proposed to obtain NCS compounds. The first examples of antiperovskite or double antiperovskite borate fluorides, [(M/Ba)Ca]F[BO] (M = K, Rb) and [CsBaCa]F[BO], have been successfully designed and synthesized. All three compounds exhibit a novel three-dimensional framework constructed from [F(M/Ba)Ca] (M = K, Rb), [FCsCa] and [FBaCa] octahedra, which are further filled by [BO] dimers to form antiperovskite-type structures. They all crystallize in the NCS space group 4̄2 , and can exhibit moderate second harmonic generation (SHG) responses (∼0.5 × KDP@1064 nm) and short UV cut-off edges (∼190 nm), as well as suitable birefringence (Δ = 0.0405-0.0548@532 nm). This suggests their potential as UV nonlinear optical crystals.
非中心对称（NCS）化合物可展现出许多与对称性相关的功能特性，但其合理的结构设计仍然是一个巨大挑战。在此，提出一种引入以F为中心的八面体来构建由π共轭[BO]二聚体填充的钙钛矿型框架的策略，以获得NCS化合物。反钙钛矿或双反钙钛矿硼氟化物[(M/Ba)Ca]F[BO]（M = K，Rb）和[CsBaCa]F[BO]的首个实例已成功设计并合成。所有这三种化合物均展现出由[F(M/Ba)Ca]（M = K，Rb）、[FCsCa]和[FBaCa]八面体构建的新型三维框架，这些八面体进一步由[BO]二聚体填充以形成反钙钛矿型结构。它们均结晶于NCS空间群4̄2 ，并可展现出适度的二次谐波产生（SHG）响应（∼0.5 × KDP@1064 nm）和短的紫外截止边（∼190 nm），以及合适的双折射（Δ = 0.0405 - 0.0548@532 nm）。这表明它们作为紫外非线性光学晶体的潜力。
