<scp>l</scp>-Homoproline-Directed Synthesis of Organic–Inorganic Metal Iodides for Second Harmonic Generation
Three organic-inorganic metal iodides, namely, (NH<sub>4</sub>)(l-hp)ZnI<sub>3</sub> (<b>1</b>), [Cd(l-hp)<sub>4</sub>]Cd<sub>3</sub>I<sub>8</sub> (<b>2</b>), and (l-Hhp)(l-hp)PbI<sub>3</sub> (<b>3</b>), have been synthesized using l-homoproline (l-hp) as the structure-directing agent. These compounds feature different noncentrosymmetric structures and optical properties. In particular, compound <b>3</b> shows a large second-harmonic-generation response of 3.4 times that of KH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>. Density functional theory calculations were performed to gain insight into its structure-property relationship.
