摘要

Diamond-like (DL) structure facilitates optimal superposition of the second-order polarizability in tetrahedra, rendering it a widely adopted template for nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals. DL phosphides, serving as potential employers for infrared (IR) NLO materials, have persisted in an underdeveloped state for a considerable duration due to the difficulty of synthesis. In this work, we strategically opted for the [Sr4Br] tetrahedra and [Ba2Sr4Br2] chain as polycations, leading to the successful formation of two novel salt-inclusion phosphides featuring DL anionic frameworks: [Ba2Sr4Br2][Sr4Br][In5Si31P52] (1) and [Sr4Br][In2Si11P19] (2). Both phosphides exhibit the remarkable structural characteristics of T3-supertetrahedra, which is rarely observed in IR nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals. Interestingly, a tenfold enhancement in the intensity of phase-matching second-harmonic generation (SHG) is observed in phosphide 2 (2.1 × AgGaS2) compared to that in 1 (0.2 × AgGaS2), which can potentially be attributed to the significant distinct distorted degrees and stacking methods demonstrated by [InP4], [SiP4] and [In/SiP4] tetrahedra impacted by polycations. Additionally, both phosphides 1 and 2 display moderate optical bandgaps (1.70 and 1.87 eV), large laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDT, 6.0 and 5.0 × AGS@2090 nm), and excellent infrared transparency. The present study provides a novel avenue for the flourishing development of diamond-like structures and salt-inclusion phosphides.
