An Inorganic−Organic Hybrid KBBF-Type Zinc Borate Imidazole Complex: A Promising Nonlinear-Optical Crystal
An inorganic-organic hybrid zinc borate, Zn2(BO₃)(C₄H₅N₂) (1), was synthesized through a straight forward solvothermal transformation process, utilizing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as self-sacrificial templates. As a distinguished member of the KBe₂BO₃F₂ (KBBF) family, 1 exhibits a unique and infinite layer, [Zn₂(BO₃)N₂]∞, composed of [BO₃] and [ZnO₃N] groups. These interconnected layers of [Zn₂(BO₃)N₂]∞ are elegantly bridged by deprotonated 2-methylimidazole ligands, forming a 3D network. Notably, it exhibits a relatively large second-harmonic-generation response of about 1.0 times that of KDP and large birefringence of 0.11@1064 nm. The optical properties are mainly derived from the synergistic effect of the co-planar arrangement of [BO3] and the nonlinear polarization ligand 2-methylimidazole. Our strategy may provide a new way to designing high-performance NLO materials.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
