“…From then on, some remarkable short‐wave NLO materials based on phosphates, silicates, fluorooxoborate and fluorophosphates have been synthesized. The represent examples include phosphates such as A La(PO 3 ) 4 ( A = K, Cs), RbBa 2 (PO 3 ) 5 , Li A 2 PO 4 ( A = Rb, Cs), A 4 Mg 4 (P 2 O 7 ) 3 ( A = K, Rb), A NaMgP 2 O 7 ( A = Rb, Cs), and Ba 2 NaClP 2 O 7 ; silicates such as Cs 2 B 4 SiO 9 and CsSiB 3 O 7 ; fluorooxoborate such as A B 4 O 6 F ( A = Na, Cs, NH 4 ) and M 2 B 10 O 14 F 6 ( M = Ca, Sr); fluorophosphates such as Na(NH 4 )PO 3 F · H 2 O and (NH 4 ) 2 PO 3 F . Due to the easy synthesis route, some short‐wave UV NLO sulfates, such as A SbF 2 SO 4 ( A = Rb, Cs), (NH 4 ) 2 Na 3 Li 9 (SO 4 ) 7 , (NH 4 )NaLi 2 (SO 4 ) 2 , and Li 8 NaRb 3 (SO 4 ) 6 · 2H 2 O, were prepared using the aqueous or ionic solution method.…”
