A new mixed-valent monophosphate Sr(2)V(2)O(PO(4))(3) has been synthesized. Its 4-fold superstructure has been refined using the 4D formalism for modulated structures and using X-ray single-crystal diffraction data. The average structure can be described as a stacking of [V(2)P(3)O(13)](infinity) layers and [Sr(2)](infinity) layers. In these layers, the VO(6) octahedra, occupied by V(III), the VO(5) trigonal bipyramids, occupied by V(IV), and the PO(4) tetrahedra form chains running along b. The 4D description allows us to give a better description of the measured intensities in reciprocal space (main and first order satellite reflections) and particularly to explain why the second order satellite reflections are not observed using a classical X-ray source. The corresponding structural mechanism consists of an alternation of disordered ribbons of VO(5) bipyramids and PO(4) tetrahedra in two enantiomorphic configurations, separated by displacively modulated ribbons of VO(6) octahedra and PO(4) tetrahedra. Crystal data: monoclinic, superstructure space group P2(1)/c, Z = 8, a = 17.389(1) Å, b = 5.094(1) Å, c = 30.032(4) Å, beta = 132.17(1) degrees; superspace group P2(1)/m(0,0,(1)/(4))0s, Z = 2, c' = c/4.

Electrochromic smart windows can realize intelligent photothermal regulation by applying a low potential, which is of great significance for energy-saving buildings and achieving low carbon emission. However, the dense structure of conventional metal oxide electrochromic materials limits ion transport efficiency, resulting in poor electrochromic properties. Here, we propose a surface crystal reconstruction strategy for cubic NiO through phosphorylation (P-NiO) to build energetic reactive interfaces and enhance the electrochromic performance.

Three novel alkali metal fluoroaluminophosphates, Li[AlPOF(OH)](HO) and [Al(PO)F(HO)]( = K, Rb), were designed and synthesized by using low-temperature flux methods. They crystallized in polar space groups and 222, respectively. Li[AlPOF(OH)](HO) features a unique two-dimensional layered structure of fluoroaluminophosphate [AlPOF(OH)], composed of alternately connected AlFO octahedra and PO tetrahedra.

Article Synopsis
- * DUV NLO borates are promising due to their higher SHG coefficients, although phosphates have limitations in UV cut-off due to their large energy gaps, leading to a focus on improving phosphates' SHG while keeping them transparent in the DUV range.
- * Several strategies have been proposed to enhance phosphate crystals' NLO properties, including utilizing unique P-O group structures and introducing new NLO-active units, paving the way for future research in developing optimal DUV N

Two phosphates, KZnPO and NHZnPO, were successfully synthesized using a solid-state reaction method and characterized single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both of their structures feature a three-way skeleton composed of isolated PO and ZnO tetrahedra, with K/NH cations occupying the spaces within the frameworks to balance charges. These compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric 6 space group.
