Syntheses, structures, and characterizations of novel low-dimensional birefringent materials

초록 (요약문)

Birefringent materials are crucial in laser-driven fields, with birefringence being a key parameter closely linked to anisotropy. Birefringence-active-group (BAG) with anisotropic distributed electron density, such as cations with lone pair electrons (LPEs) and π-conjugate groups, are cornerstones in constructing birefringent materials. Low-dimensional structures with inherent structural anisotropy, such as the in-plane vs. out-plane in two-dimensional structures, intra-chain vs. inter-chain in one-dimensional structures, are ideal for exploring large birefringence. In this dissertation, the main objectives are to utilize the different BAGs to construct the birefringent crystals with low-dimensional secondary structures. Lone pair electrons (LPEs) endow the cations with large polarizability anisotropy. To deeply explore how the LPEs cations affect the birefringence, K2Pb2Si2O7 and Mg(H2O)6[(IO2(OH))2(IO3)]2 were synthesized and examined. The relationship between spatial density, polarizability anisotropy of LPEs cations and birefringence will be discussed. The π-conjugate groups, B(OH)3, [HCO3]- and [C(NH2)3]+ show the large HOMO-LUMO gaps, while [NO3]-, [HC2O4]-, [C2O4]2-, 4-Hydroxypyridine (4HP), 2-Aminopyrimidinium (2APM) exhibit larger polarizability anisotropy but smaller HOMO-LUMO gaps. Based on these BAGs, three deep-ultraviolet (DUV) birefringent crystals of KF·B(OH)3, K2FHCO3∙H2O, C(NH2)3CH3SO3 have been synthesized and grown. The β-C(NH2)3Cl and γ-C(NH2)3Cl were hypothetically designed and the NH2COF was screened out as potential DUV birefringent materials. Eleven ultraviolet (UV) birefringent compounds including KHC2O4·B(OH)3, Sr(NO3)(NH2SO3)·H2O, [Mg(NO3)2∙6H2O]·(4HP)2, LiNO3·H2O·4HP, [LiNO3·H2O·4HP]·4HP, [(4HP)2ZnCl2], [(4HP)+]2[(ZnCl4)2-], (4HP)+(NO3)-, (4HP)+(HC2O4)-, (2APM)+(NO3)- and (2APM)+(HC2O4)-·H2O, have been synthesized and characterized. Through crystal structure analysis and DFT calculations, the effects of the spatial density, distribution, polarizability anisotropy of BAGs and the dimension of final compounds will be discussed.
