- Abstract
- Two new noncentrosymmetric (NCS) materials, namely, ACdCO(3)F (A = K and Rb) containing both a d(10) cation (Cd2+) and a pi-conjugated parallel carbonate anion (CO32-), were synthesized through conventional solid state reactions. ACdCO(3)F exhibits a 3-dimensional structure that is composed of the stacked layers of [Cd(CO3)](infinity). Each [Cd(CO3)](infinity) layer is connected by infinite Cd-F-Cd chains and the [CO3] triangles are oriented in the same direction with a coplanar alignment. KCdCO3F and RbCdCO3F reveal remarkably strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses of approximately 9.0 and 7.2 times that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP), respectively, and both materials are phase-matchable. ACdCO(3)F exhibit wide transparent regions ranging from far UV to mid IR. Theoretical calculations confirm that the large SHG efficiencies indeed originate from enhancement via interatomic interactions between the s and p states of Cd2+ and the pi-conjugated groups of the [CO3](2-) unit within the [Cd(CO3)](infinity) layers.
