A new non-centrosymmetric (NCS) chalcohalide, [Sr4Cl2][Ge3S9], was successfully designed and synthesized through combining chemical tailoring with aliovalent substitution strategies from the maternal [NaSr4Cl][Ge3S10]. It can exhibit a large SHG effect (0.97 × AgGaS2), a wide band gap of 3.71 eV, and a high LDT (∼16 × AgGaS2). These results indicate that [Sr4Cl2][Ge3S9] may be a potential infrared nonlinear optical crystal.
