Solid State Oxide Fluorides

1. O F Na Nb K Solid State Oxide Fluorides Kenneth R. Poeppelmeier, Northwestern University, DMR 0604454 Observed SHG response 0.6 x KDP [NbOF5]2- Nb-O bond dipoles arrange in a partially polar manner KNaNbOF5 Careful selection of the cationic bond network is crucial in designing noncentrosymmetric materials composed of acentric d0 transition metal oxide fluoride anions such as [NbOF5]2-.
