The 12 new rare-earth tellurides Ba2MLnTe5 (M = Ga and Ln = Sm, Gd, Dy, Er, Y; M = In and Ln = Ce, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er, Y) have been synthesized by solid-state reactions. The two compounds Ba2GaLnTe5 (Ln = Sm, Gd) are isostructural and crystallize in the centrosymmetric space group P1̅, while the other 10 compounds belong to another structure type in the noncentrosymmetric space group Cmc21. In both structure types, there are one-dimensional anionic 1∞[MLnTe5]4– chains built from LnTe6 octahedra and MTe4 (M = Ga, In) tetrahedra, but the connectivity between the LnTe6 octahedra and MTe4 tetrahedra is different for the two structure types. On the basis of the diffuse-reflectance spectra, the band gaps are around 1.1–1.3 eV for these compounds. The Ba2MLnTe5 (M = Ga and Ln = Gd, Dy; M = In and Ln = Gd, Dy, Er) compounds are paramagnetic and obey the Curie–Weiss law, while the magnetic susceptibility of Ba2InSmTe5 deviates from the Curie–Weiss law. In addition, electronic structure calculation on Ba2MYTe5 (M = Ga, In) indicates that they are both direct-gap semiconductors with large nonlinear-optical coefficients.

Rare-earth infrared nonlinear optical (IR NLO) compounds have garnered significant attention due to their abundant electronic structures. However, their NLO efficiency has been relatively modest, attributed to the localization of valence electron shells in rare-earth metals. Traditional design strategies for IR NLO materials have predominantly focused on MQ4 (M = metal, Q = S or Se) tetrahedra, with limited exploration of MQ6 octahedra. We introduce a novel approach to enhance NLO effects by incorporating distorted mixed anionic octahedral M(S/X)6 groups. To illustrate this strategy, we undertake structure modification and optimization of IR NLO performance using the Y–Ga–Ge–S system as an example. The synthesis of a new rare-earth chalcogenide, Y6Ga2GeS14 (1), serves as a foundation. Further halogen atom substitution yields Y6Ga4.2S13.6Cl3.4 (2), Y6Ga2.83Ge2S16.75Cl (3), and Y6Ga2.83Ge2S16.5Br1.5 (4). All compounds demonstrate remarkable NLO performance, including moderate NLO coefficients (0.17–0.70 × AgGaS2), large laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs) (3.78–6.19 × AgGaS2), and a broader transmission range (0.5–14.9 μm). The incremental enhancement of NLO efficiency in compounds 1–4 can be attributed to symmetry breaking induced by halogen atom substitution and increased distortion of the octahedral M(S/X)6 motifs in their structures, validating the effectiveness of our strategy. Notably, this strategy concurrently increases the band gap and LIDT, overcoming the NLO–LIDT incompatibility, being strikingly different from other reported approaches. This work provides new insights into optimizing the NLO performance of rare-earth IR NLO compounds through the modulation of octahedral motifs.

Inorganic gallates are attractive owing to their abundant structures and wide applications for nonlinear optics, magnetism , molecular sieve and catalysis. Herein, a new cesium cadmium gallate, CsCdGa 3 O 6 , has been synthesized by a solid-state reaction, which is the first I-II-III-O (I = alkali metals, II = divalent metals, III = Al, Ga, In) type oxide. It crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P 2 1 / c , and the three-dimensional Ga–O polyanionic framework is constructed by [Ga 4 O 14 ] 16− helical belts linked [Ga 6 O 6 ] 6+ and [Ga 8 O 8 ] 8+ cages. Thermal analysis indicates that it possesses high thermal stability. Various characterizations and results analysis including XRD , TG-DSC, IR, Raman spectrum , as well as electronic structure calculations were performed.

Lewis acid imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with inorganic anions of [Al 2 Cl 7 ] - , [Al 2 Ti x Cl 7+4x ] - , [Al 2 Zr x Cl 7+4x ] - , and [Al 2 Ga x Cl 7+3x ] - have been synthesized in good yields and used as the catalysts for the polymerization of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) mixed α-olefins. The poly alpha-olefins (PAO) products have been tuned through various bimetallic Lewis-acid ionic liquids (ILs). A high PAO yield of 95 % and excellent selectivity to trimers & tetramers of 65 % were achieved at 100 °C for 120 min using 3 wt% [Bmim][Al 2 Ga 0.1 Cl 7.3 ] as the catalyst. The bimetallic Lewis acid ILs are easily separated from the reaction mixture and recycled with good stability. Molecular orbital studies show the LUMOs of IL anions have changed from Al to the other metal site (Ga/Ti/Zr), leading to a weakened Lewis acidity, finally making the PAO structure tunable. Notably, the synthesis of PAO products by bimetallic ILs from Fischer-Tropsch (FT) mixed α-olefins, instead of 1-decene from ethylene production, was demonstrated to be effective, ensuring a green, low-cost, and recyclable technology industrially. Furthermore, the IL catalysts demonstrated inherent safety and environmental compatibility, positioning them as promising alternatives to conventional BF 3 catalysts.
