Conspectus Second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are currently a hot topic in
modern solid-state chemistry and optics because they can produce coherent light by …

Oxysulfides, as one type of important mixed-anion inorganic functional systems, possess the
coexistence of two different anions (O 2− and S 2−) in their crystal structures and could be …

Tailored structural regulation to obtain a new non-centrosymmetric (NCS) compound with
excellent optical properties is highly desirable but remains a challenge for nonlinear optical …

As one type of material containing multiple anions, oxysulfides can combine the advantages
of oxides and sulfides and are deeply studied as nonlinear-optical (NLO) materials. Herein …

Investigations of inorganic compounds with mixed anions have drawn much attention. Here,
three oxysulfides, Sm3NbS3O4 (1), Gd3NbS3O4 (2), and Dy3NbS3O4 (3), are obtained by …

Chalcohalides are attractive infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials because they
can take advantages of the large second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses of …

Oxychalcogenides are receiving increasing interest as nonlinear-optical (NLO) materials
because of the possible combination of advantages from oxides and chalcogenides. Here …

Oxychalcogenides are increasingly attracting wide attention because they contain multiple
anions that may combine the advantages of oxides and chalcogenides. In this work, two new …

Exploration of new compounds belonging to unusual families is always attractive for the
everlasting development of material science. Here, three isomorphic rare-earth sulfide …

Calix [8] arene has been used as a promising type of macrocyclic ligand for the construction
of multinuclear metal-oxo clusters (MOCs), but not for zirconium/hafnium-oxo clusters …
