Abstract:
The utilization of nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals plays a crucial role in the contemporary laser industry, and the advancement of novel NLO-active units is essential for the exploration of NLO materials. Two novel organic-inorganic hybrid iodates, designated as (C3N2H5)2Mo2O5(IO3)4·3H2O (1) and (C3N2I2H3)2Mo2O5(IO3)4·4H2O (2) were synthesized via mild hydrothermal methods, exhibiting band gaps of 3.75 and 3.00 eV, SHG response of 1.3 and 3.5 times that of KDP, and birefringence of 0.143 and 0.254@ 550 nm, respectively. The optical property enhancement can be attributed to the cationic modification strategy, as corroborated by the results of theoretical calculations.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn...
