Deep-ultraviolet (deep-UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are key materials in creating tunable deep-UV lasers for frequency conversion technology.H owever, practical application of the sole usable crystal, KBe 2 BO 3 F 2 ,has been hindered by the high toxicity of beryllium and its layering tendency in crystal growth. Herein, we report aberyllium-free deep-UV NLO material NaSr 3 (OH)(B 9 O 16 )[B(OH) 4 ] (NSBOH), synthesized by ac ovalent bond modification strategy under hydrothermal conditions.M oisture-stable NSBOH exhibits strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) at 1064 nm (3.3 KH 2 PO 4 )a nd 532 nm (0.55 b-BaB 2 O 4 ), both amongst the largest powder SHG responses for ad eep-UV borate,w ith good phase-matchability and as hort wavelength cutoff edge (below1 90 nm). NSBOH possesses a3 D covalent anionic [B 9 O 19 ] 1 honeycomb-like framework with no layering. The Sr 2+ and Na + ions,residing in the cavities of the anionic framework, act as templates for the assembly and favorable alignment of NLO-active groups,r esulting in an optimal balance between strong SHG activities and wide UV transparency.These merits indicate NSBOH is avery attractive candidate for deep-UV NLO applications.
