Pillar-Layer Chiral MOFs as a Crystalline Platform for Circularly Polarized Luminescence and Single-Phase White-Light Emission

Peng-Fu Gao et al.

Summary: The study presents a chiral reticular chemistry strategy to prepare homochiral porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as CPL-active materials. The research demonstrates that CPL is mainly dominated by the original molecular chirality rather than the global chirality of the hierarchical structure.

Cooperative Enhancement of Second Harmonic Generation in an Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Antimony Halide

Fafa Wu et al.

Summary: Exploration of nonlinear optical crystalline materials is a hot topic in the field of modern optoelectronics and laser technology. The study focuses on the emerging organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides, which have the potential to provide infinite opportunities. In this study, a non-centrosymmetric organic-inorganic hybrid antimony halide was developed by combining an inorganic second-order Jahn-Teller distorted octahedron with an organic pi-conjugated aromatic amine. The crystals showed a remarkable second harmonic generation response and moderate birefringence, indicating their potential for applications in the field of nonlinear optics. The crystal structure analysis and theoretical calculations revealed that the large second harmonic generation response is primarily due to the cooperative coupling between the highly asymmetric distorted octahedron and the pi-conjugated aromatic amine.
