Abstract

The first alkali-metal vanadium iodate fluoride, CsVO2 F(IO3 ), with a novel 3D anionic framework, has been rationally designed and hydrothermally synthesized. The 3D [VO2 F(IO3 )]- framework in CsVO2 F(IO3 ) is built from 0D Λ-shaped cis-[VO3 F(IO3 )2 ]4- polyanions via corner-sharing of oxo anions and bridging of the iodate groups. CsVO2 F(IO3 ) displays both a strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) 1.1 times as strong as KTiOPO4 (KTP) under 2.05 μm laser radiation and high laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of 107.9 MW cm-2 . This work provides a new route to design SHG crystals with stable 3D anionic structures from low-dimensional structural building units.
