Abstract

A non-centrosymmetric metal-free thiophosphate, γ-P₄S₃I₂, was successfully synthesized utilizing polymorphism strategy in this study. γ-P₄S₃I₂ crystallized in the space group of P4₃ and featured paralleled (P₄S₃I₂)_n molecular clusters. Importantly, it exhibited promising nonlinear optical (NLO) performances, such as a phase-matchable second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency (0.5 × AgGaS₂), wide band gap (2.38 eV), large birefringence (0.118@2050 nm), and wide infrared transparency, suggesting that γ-P₄S₃I₂ may be a potential IR NLO candidate.
