“…This situation is also common in many famous organic-inorganic hybrid compounds, such as LFM (HCOOLi·H 2 O), [35] KM (potassium malate) [36] and SrLM (strontium bis (hydrogen L-malate) hexahydrate). [34] It is well known that malate acid is the simplest example of dicarboxylic acid with chirality and has three kinds of existing forms: D-, L-and DL-malate acid. The compounds which contain chirality ligands often show NLO properties, such as SrLM [34] and CsH(C 4 H 4 O 5 )•H 2 O(cesium hydrogen L-malate monohydrate) [25] whose SHG efficiency estimated through experiment is about 3.4 and 4.2 times that of KDP, respectively.…”
