Abstract

Partial substitution of iodate anions in La(IO3)3 by OH- or NO3- anion led to acentric La3(IO3)8(OH) and chiral La(IO3)2(NO3). The structure of La3(IO3)8(OH) can be seen as a complex three-dimensional (3D) network composed of two-dimensional [La3(IO3)2(OH)]6+ cationic layers that are further bridged by remaining iodate anions, or alternatively as a 3D network composed of one-dimensional [La3(IO3)6(OH)]2+ cationic columns being further interconnected by additional iodate anions, while the structure of La(IO3)2(NO3) can be seen as a novel 3D structure with planar NO3 groups serving as linkage between the [La3(IO3)6]3+ triple layers. Compared to La(IO3)3, both compounds show considerably wide band gaps and enhanced thermal stability. La(IO3)2(NO3) shows a moderate second harmonic generation (SHG) response of ?0.6 times that of KDP (KH2PO4), a wide band gap of 4.23 eV, and a high LDT value (22 × AgGaS2). Optical property measurements, thermal analysis, as well as theoretical calculations on SHG origin, were performed. It can be deduced that partial substitution of iodate anions can be a facile route to design new noncentrosymmetric metal iodates with novel structure and potential application.

Elemental IodineIodine forms compounds with many elements, but is less active than the other halogens. It dissolves readily in chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, or carbon disulfide. Iodine compounds are important in organic chemistry and very useful in the field of medicine. Iodine was discovered and first isolated by Bernard Courtois in 1811. The name Iodine is derived from the Greek word "iodes" meaning violet.
