Abstract
Noncentrosymmetric phosphides have garnered significant attention as promising systems of infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Herein, a new quaternary diamond-like phosphide family I-III-IV2-V4 and its inaugural member, namely, CuInSi2P4 (CISP), were successfully fabricated by isovalent and aliovalent substitution based on ZnGeP2. First-principles calculations revealed that CISP has a large NLO coefficient (d14 = 110.8 pm/V), which can be attributed to the well-aligned tetrahedral [CuP4], [InP4], and [SiP4] units. Remarkably, the extremely small thermal expansion anisotropy (0.09) of CISP enables it to exhibit a considerable laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT, 5.0 × AgGaS2@1.06 μm) despite the relatively narrow band gap (0.81 eV). This work improves the chemical diversity of inorganic phosphide and promotes the development of phosphide systems, which may provide valuable perspectives for future exploration of IR NLO materials.

Abstract
Two new diamond-like (DL) chalcogenides, Li2MgGeSe4 and Li2MgSnSe4, have been successfully synthesized using a conventional high-temperature solid-state method. The two compounds crystallize in the non-centrosymmetric space group Pmn21 with a = 8.402 (14) Å, b = 7.181 (12) Å, c = 6.728 (11) Å, Z = 2 for Li2MgSnSe4, and a = 8.2961 (7) Å, b = 7.0069 (5) Å, c = 6.6116 (6) Å, Z = 2 for Li2MgGeSe4. The calculated results show that the second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficients of Li2MgSnSe4 (d33 = 12.19 pm/v) and Li2MgGeSe4 (d33 = -14.77 pm/v), mainly deriving from the [MSe4] (M = Ge, Sn) tetrahedral units, are close to the one in the benchmark AgGaS2 (d14 = 13.7 pm/V). The calculated band gaps for Li2MgSnSe4 and Li2MgGeSe4 are 2.42 and 2.44 eV, respectively. Moreover, the two compounds are the first series of alkali and alkaline-earth metal DL compounds in the I2-II-IV-VI4 family, enriching the structural diversity of DL compounds.

Abstract
Chalcogenides with diamond-like (DL) structures are a treasury of infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Here, a ternary Hg-based chalcogenide with a defect DL structure, Hg3P2S8, is synthesized by solid-state reaction. Driven by the highly distorted [HgS4] tetrahedra, this compound displays an interesting structural symmetry degradation from tetragonal to orthorhombic compared with its analogue Zn3P2S8. Meanwhile, the overall performances of Hg3P2S8 are quite remarkable, including a very strong phase-matchable second-harmonic generation (SHG) response (4.2 × AgGaS2), large band gap (2.77 eV), wide IR transparent range (0.45-16.7 μm), and high laser-induced damage threshold (4 × AGS). Furthermore, the theoretical analysis and local dipole moment calculations elucidate that the highly distorted [HgS4] tetrahedra contribute a lot to the enhancement of the SHG effect. This discovery will motivate the exploration of other DL Hg-based chalcogenides serving as high-performing mid-IR NLO materials.
