“…However, these acentric anions are virtually always found to crystallize in centrosymmetric space groups, thus eliminating possible SHG effects [1]. The O/F ordering in a noncentrosymmetric space group has been achieved with the [NbOF 5 ] 2À anion in inorganic-organic hybrid compounds with cluster [2] and chain motifs [3]. In inorganic solid-state environment, the individual Nb-O and Nb-F bonds were recently found [4] to be ordered in noncentrosymmetric KNaNbOF 5 which exhibits the SHG property.…”
