Abstract:
Explorations of new second-order NLO materials in the Ag(I)-Mo(VI)/W(VI)-Te(IV)-O systems led to three new mixed metal tellurites, namely, Ag(2)Mo(3)Te(3)O(16), Ag(2)MoTe(4)O(12) and Ag(6)W(3)Te(4)O(20). Ag(2)Mo(3)Te(3)O(16) is isostructural with Na(2)Mo(3)Te(3)O(16) and its structure features one-dimensional [Mo(3)Te(3)O(16)](2-) anionic chains composed of [Mo(3)O(14)](10-) clusters interconnected by [Te(3)O(8)](4-) anions via corner-sharing, such 1D chains are further interconnected by Ag(+) ions into a 3D network. Ag(2)MoTe(4)O(12) is isostructural with Na(2)MoTe(4)O(12) and its structure features 3D anionic [MoTe(4)O(12)](2-) network with the Ag(+) ions filling the cavities of the structure. Ag(6)W(3)Te(4)O(20) belongs to a new structural type. Its structure composed of 1D [WO(2)(TeO(3))(2)](2-) anionic chains and 2D [W(2)O(6)(TeO(3))(2)](2-) anionic layers, the above two types of anionic building units are interconnected by Ag(+) ions into a 3D condensed network. Second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements indicate that Ag(2)Mo(3)Te(3)O(16) displays a very large SHG response of approximately x 8 KDP. Band structure calculations based on DFT methods for all three compounds have also been performed.

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
