摘要

The "KIn(2)" Zintl phase activates tellurium under solvothermal conditions and yields the compound {[In(en)(3)][In(5)Te(9)(en)(2)] center dot 0.5en}(n) (en = ethylenediamine). The material has both a polar and chiral layered framework and exhibits type 1 phase-matchable strong second harmonic generation (SHG) response.
