Abstract:
Two new penternary compounds, with the chemical formula of A2Ba6MnSn4S16 (A = Li (1), Ag (2)), have been successfully designed and prepared. They are isostructural and feature the same non-centrosymmetric three-dimensional (3D) framework, which comprises SnS4 tetrahedra and distorted (A/Mn)S4 tetrahedra. They both show strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses at 2.05 μm laser radiation of 5.1 and 2.7 × AgGaS2, respectively, at a particle size of 30-40 μm. Meanwhile, they exhibit wide band gaps of 2.88 and 2.76 eV, implying that they avoid two-photon absorption and low laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs). Furthermore, with Mn2+ cations modulating disordered sites, the two title compounds also possess paramagnetism. Based on the relationship between the structures and properties of the title compounds and related materials, it can be concluded that new materials with attractive properties can be designed and produced by modulating disordered sites with rational cations.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
