Abstract:
A noncentric 3D aluminoborate (ABO), NaCs2[AlB5O10]·HCOO·H2O (1), has been constructed through the solvothermal technique. The framework of 1 is formed by the alternation of AlO4 tetrahedra and B5O10 clusters, featuring 7 types of channels. 1 belongs to the "10,10-linkage", which features an unprecedented pts topology in the ABO field. The measurement of second-harmonic generation (SHG) shows that 1 displays an SHG value roughly 1.1 times that of KH2PO4 (KDP). The UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum suggests potential applications for 1 in the deep ultraviolet (DUV) field.
