[C(NH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>]<sub>2</sub>[C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>(C<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>)]Cl: rational design of a metal-free UV birefringent crystal through the synergistic assembly of three distinct motifs
Developing metal-free birefringent crystals is of great significance in laser technology. Herein, a metal-free birefringent crystal, [C(NH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>]<sub>2</sub>[C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>(C<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>)]Cl, was rationally obtained <i>via</i> a hydrogen-bond-directed assembly of three distinct motifs. It exhibits a wide band gap (3.987 eV) and significant birefringence (0.120@546 nm), demonstrating the strategy's efficacy for metal-free UV birefringent materials.
