Abstract

The first examples of rare-earth polyiodates, namely, REI <subscript>5</subscript> O <subscript>14</subscript> (RE=Y and Gd), have been prepared by hydrothermal reactions of RE <subscript>2</subscript> O <subscript>3</subscript> and H <subscript>5</subscript> IO <subscript>6</subscript> in H <subscript>3</subscript> PO <subscript>4</subscript> (≥85 wt % in H <subscript>2</subscript> O), with extremely high yields (>95 %). They crystalize in the polar space group Cm and feature a brand-new semicircle-shaped [I <subscript>5</subscript> O <subscript>14</subscript> ] <superscript>3-</superscript> pentameric polyiodate anion composed of two IO <subscript>3</subscript> and three IO <subscript>4</subscript> polyhedra. Remarkably, both compounds exhibit very large second-harmonic generation (SHG) signals (14× and 15×KH <subscript>2</subscript> PO <subscript>4</subscript> (KDP) upon 1064 nm laser radiation for Y and Gd compounds, respectively). Our work shows that the hydrothermal reaction in a phosphoric acid medium facilitates the formation of rare-earth polyiodates.<br /> (© 2019 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.)
