Abstract

A new synthetic method was employed to prepare the silver(I) iodide polymer {[NEt4]3[Ag6I9]}n with a one-dimensional double-chain. A mixture of solid Et4NI, AgI and [NH4]2[MoO2S2] was heated gently and the reaction residue was extracted with MeCN. Orange-red monoclinic crystals were obtained at room temperature. The infinite chains of [Ag6I 9]n- consist of edge-shared square pyramids, in which iodides bridge silver atoms such that the geometry around the silver atoms is tetrahedral. A detailed study of its third-order nonlinear optical property via Z-scan is reported. The polymer {[NEt4] 3[Ag6I9]}n shows a very strong self-focusing refractive effect with efficient third-order NLO susceptibility χ(3) of 6.0 × 10-11 esu.
