Abstract

Five new vanadium selenites, Ca<sub>2</sub>(VO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(SeO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>,\nSr<sub>2</sub>(VO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(SeO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>, Ba­(V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>)­(SeO<sub>3</sub>), Sr<sub>4</sub>(VO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(SeO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(Se<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>), and Pb<sub>4</sub>(VO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(SeO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(Se<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>), have\nbeen synthesized and characterized. Their crystal structures were\ndetermined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds exhibit\none- or two-dimensional structures consisting of corner- and edge-shared\nVO<sub>4</sub>, VO<sub>5</sub>, VO<sub>6</sub>, and SeO<sub>3</sub> polyhedra. Of the reported materials, A<sub>4</sub>(VO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(SeO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(Se<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>) (A = Sr<sup>2+</sup> or Pb<sup>2+</sup>) are noncentrosymmetric\n(NCS) and polar. Powder second-harmonic generation (SHG) measurements\nrevealed SHG efficiencies of approximately 130 and 150 × α–SiO<sub>2</sub> for Sr<sub>4</sub>(VO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(SeO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(Se<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>) and Pb<sub>4</sub>(VO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(SeO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(Se<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>), respectively. Piezoelectric charge constants of 43 and\n53 pm/V, and pyroelectric coefficients of −27 and −42\nμC/m<sup>2</sup>·K at 70 °C were obtained for Sr<sub>4</sub>(VO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(SeO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(Se<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>) and Pb<sub>4</sub>(VO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(SeO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(Se<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>), respectively.\nFrequency dependent polarization measurements confirmed that the materials\nare not ferroelectric, that is, the observed polarization cannot be\nreversed. In addition, the lone-pair on the Se<sup>4+</sup> cation\nmay be considered as stereo-active consistent with calculations. For\nall of the reported materials, infrared, UV–vis, thermogravimetric,\nand differential thermal analysis measurements were performed.
