摘要

In order to maximize performance, birefringent crystals—essential components in laser technology, optical communication, and photonic devices—need to have their optical anisotropy precisely controlled. By combining two π-conjugated organic groups of [C5H7N2]+ cation and [C4H3N2O3] anion in a synergistic manner, this study successfully constructs a novel metal-free molecule (C5H7N2)-(C4H3N2O3)·H2O using a collaborative design technique based on large anisotropic polar units. According to structural research, the compound’s remarkable birefringence (0.507@546 nm) breaks the record for dual six-membered ring systems. This is due to the highly coplanar alignment that these two planar six-membered ring groups acquire through hydrogen bonding interaction. This study offers a novel design paradigm for creating high-performance, environmentally friendly birefringent materials in addition to empirically verifying the viability of increasing optical anisotropy through the synergistic effects of several π-conjugated units.
