Syntheses, Crystal Structures, and Properties of Two Quaternary Selenite/Tellurite‐Nitrates with Formula of Bi(SeO3)(NO3) and Bi3(μ3‐OH)(TeO3)3(NO3)2

“…The second-harmonic generation measurements on powder Bi 3 (m 3 -OH)(TeO 3 ) 3 (NO 3 ) 2 reveal that the compound exhibits a weak SHG efficiency about 0.5 times that of KDP with the particle sizes of around 210 mm ( Figure 5). The SHG responses for Bi 3 2 were calculated by using a method reported earlier. [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] With the lone-pair polyhedra, the lone-pair is given a charge of À2 and is localized 0.98 and 1.25 from the Bi(III) and Te (IV) cations, respectively.…”

“…And six Bi 3 + ions are further connected through two m 3 -oxygen atoms (O(1)), which probably lend stability to the structure, resulting in a Bi 6 (m 3 -OH) 2 (Te 3 O 10 ) 3 cage cluster, these clusters are directly interconnected via edge sharing, forming an unusual 1D tunnel along the c-axis (Figure 2a and 2b), where Te(1) lone pairs point to the outside of the tube. N atom is in a NO 3 triangular coordination geometry with N À O bonds of 1.16 (3) and O À N À O bond angles of 119.996(9) À 120.001(16) 8, respectively (Table S2). These bond distances and angles are close to those reported in other tellurite-nitrates.…”

“…During the past two decades, the exploration of new secondorder nonlinear optical (NLO) materials has attracted great academic interest due to their potential applications in photonic technologies, such as frequency conversion and signal communication. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] For synthetic chemists, it is still a challenge to exploit new solid state materials with novel structures and fantastic properties, especially, second-order NLO materials with noncentrosymmetric (NCS) crystal structures. It has been demonstrated that introducing NLO active units can form materials with excellent second-harmonicgeneration (SHG) properties, including cations susceptible to second-order Jahn-Teller (SOJT), i. e. stereo-chemically active lone pair (SCALP) cations (Sn 2 + , Pb 2 + , Sb 3 + , Bi 3 + , Se 4 + , Te 4 + , I 5 + , etc) and d 0 transition metal cations (Ti 4 + , V 5 + , Nb 5 + , Mo 6 + , etc) in distorted polyhedral environments; or p-conjugated planar triangular units (BO 3 3À , CO 3 2À and NO 3 À ).…”

Bioinspired Mechanically Responsive Hydrogel upon Redox Mediated by Dynamic Coordination between Telluroether and Platinum Ions

“…In addition, the lower electronegativity of Te and the consequent greater electron-donating capability compared to selenium and/or sulfur revealed that incorporation of telluroether as donors in an arrangement could yield ligands with rich coordination chemistry, thus arousing considerable and continuous interests in tellurium ligands . The remarkable development of tellurium ligands implicates an opportunity to open new frontiers of redox-responsive dynamic coordination. ,,− Unfortunately, limited reports have concerned this issue so far …”
