Abstrakt: To design pnictide nonlinear optical materials with wide band gap and large second‐harmonic generation, the heavy halogen I was introduced into pnictides through anionic aliovalent substitution with diamond‐like ZnS as templates. Thus, four excellent halopnictide‐based infrared nonlinear optical crystals, MII3PnI3 (MII=Zn, Cd; Pn=P, As), were obtained. They all exhibited defect diamond‐like structures with highly parallel‐oriented [MIIPnI3] mixed‐anionic tetrahedral groups, leading to excellent physical properties including wide band gaps (2.38–2.85 eV), large second harmonic generation responses (2.7–5.1×AgGaS2), high laser‐induced damage thresholds (5.5–10.7×AgGaS2), and good IR transparency. In particular, Cd3PI3 and Cd3AsI3 achieved phase‐matching (Δn=0.035 and 0.031) that their template β‐ZnS could not do. Anionic aliovalent substitution provides a feasible strategy to design novel promising halopnictide IR NLO materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
