Guanidine units have garnered significant attention in the study of ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials due to their excellent microscopic optical properties, making them ideal systems for developing novel optical devices. A novel guanidinium-templated UV NLO crystal, [C(NH2)3]SbCl4 (GSC), was successfully synthesized via an aqueous solution method. GSC crystallizes in the orthorhombic chiral space group P212121, featuring a seesaw shaped [SbCl4]- anion. Remarkably, GSC exhibits a moderate second harmonic generation (SHG) response of 1.1 × KDP at 1064 nm and a large refractive index difference of 0.2 at 546 nm. This NLO effect originates from the synergistic interaction between the [C(NH2)3]+ unit and the stereochemically active [SbCl4]- unit. This work provides a candidate for the guanidine family of NLO materials.

Harmonic Mean
Take the example of the speed of a car, which is the measure of the rate of distance traveled. If the vehicle traverses the same distance back-and-forth, its average speed equals the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. However, if the car moves with varying speeds, then the arithmetic mean is more skewed...
