Abstract
The noncentrosymmetric material Hg(IO 3) 2 with P2 1 space group symmetry has been synthesised. This compound is thermally very stable (520 °C) and shows a NLO efficiency visually comparable to that of lithium iodate. The crystal structure has been solved in order to relate this efficiency to the IO 3 chomophore packing. Simple calculations, based on the bond additivity model, show that both IO and HgO bonds contribute to SHG tensor.
