(NH4)2Cd2Cl3F3 and (NH4)2Cd2Br3F3: The First Fluoride‐Containing d10 Metal Mixed Halides Exhibiting Superior Ultraviolet Nonlinear Optical Properties
Abstract In the search for new ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, two novel cadmium mixed halide compounds, (NH4)2Cd2Cl3F3 and (NH4)2Cd2Br3F3, are successfully synthesized via hydrothermal methods. These compounds crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric (NCS) space group, R32, and are...

| description | Abstract In the search for new ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, two novel cadmium mixed halide compounds, (NH4)2Cd2Cl3F3 and (NH4)2Cd2Br3F3, are successfully synthesized via hydrothermal methods. These compounds crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric (NCS) space group, R32, and are composed of distorted octahedral [CdX3F3] (X═Cl or Br) units, which extend into a 3D framework. Remarkably, both compounds demonstrate strong second‐harmonic generation (SHG) efficiencies—3.0 and 8.0 times that of KH2PO4 for the Cl‐ and Br‐containing analogs, respectively—with phase‐matching behavior observed. The SHG efficiency is attributed to the highly distorted coordination environment of the polarizable d10 Cd2+ ions, with (NH4)2Cd2Br3F3 benefiting further from Br's greater polarizability. Furthermore, these compounds exhibit wide bandgaps exceeding 4.2 eV, making them the first d10 metal mixed halide systems incorporating fluoride that are suitable for UV NLO applications. With UV absorption cut‐off edges as short as 203 nm for (NH4)2Cd2Cl3F3 and 243 nm for (NH4)2Cd2Br3F3, these materials represent a significant advancement in the development of UV‐transparent NLO materials. This study introduces a novel synthetic strategy for the design of d10 mixed halide systems with enhanced optical properties, offering promising candidates for future UV NLO technologies. |
