ChemInform Abstract: Role of Acentric Displacements on the Crystal Structure and Second-Harmonic Generating Properties of RbPbCO3F and CsPbCO3F

Crystals of the title compounds are solvothermally synthesized by reaction of Pb(OAc)2 and RbF or CsF in a mixture of MeOH and CF3COOH (autoclave, 180 °C, 24 h, 60 and 70% yield for the Rb and Cs compound, resp.).
