Metal iodates with a lone-pair containing I (V) in an asymmetric coordination geometry can
form a diversity of unusual structures, including non-centrosymmetric (NCS) structures with …

The presence of organic micropollutants in water sources worldwide has created a need for
the development of effective and selective oxidation methods in complex water matrices …

A meticulously designed, polar, non‐centrosymmetric lead borate chloride, Pb2BO3Cl, was
synthesized using KBe2BO3F2 (KBBF) as a model. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction revealed …

The family of metal thiophosphates is an important but long-ignored compound system of the
nonlinear optical (NLO) materials with desirable properties for the mid-infrared (mid-IR) …

Strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) and a wide band gap are two crucial but often
conflicting parameters that must be optimized for practical nonlinear optical (NLO) materials …

Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are of great importance in laser science and technology,
as they can expand the wavelength range provided by common laser sources. Few NLO …

The first metal iodate fluoride, Bi (IO3) F2, with a strong second harmonic generation (SHG)
effect has been prepared. Bi (IO3) F2 crystallizes in the polar space group C2 and features a …

It is of great difficulty to obtain deep-UV transparent materials with enhanced second
harmonic generation (SHG), mainly limited by the theoretically poor transparency of these …

The goal of this work is to report a systematic and balanced review of the progress made in
recent years on the high-pressure behavior of iodates, a group of materials with multiple …
