“…2A5NP is found to be an excellent charge-transfer material that easily gains the protons from the organic/inorganic anions to form the noncentrosymmetric crystal structure. There are several reports available for the typical noncentrosymmetric 2A5NP derivative single crystals such as 2-amino-5-nitropyridinium chloride (2A5NPCl), 2-amino-5-nitropyridinium bromide (2A5NPBr), 2-amino-5-nitropyridinium l -tartrate (2A5NLT), 2-amino-5-nitropyridinium p -toluenesulfonate (2A5NPT), 2-amino-5-nitropyridinium p -phenolsulfonate (2A5NPP), and 2-amino-5-nitropyridinium tetrafluoroborate (2A5NPFB) . Among the 2A5NP derivative crystals, the 2A5NPDP single crystal possesses some promising characteristics such as a large nonlinear coefficient (10–40 pm/V), wide transparency range (0.4–1.8 μm), large laser damage threshold (0.7 GW/cm 2 at 1064 nm in the nanosecond regime), noncritical phase matching (for second-harmonic generation at 1.08 μm), and improved structural stability. , Moreover, this crystal exhibits multifunctional properties such as electro-optic, dielectric, phase-matching, thermo-optic, and piezoelectric properties due to its emphatic alignment of crystal structure. , It is also shown to be an interesting host for three-wave nonlinear optical frequency conversion .…”
