title: PbPt(IO3)6(H2O): a new polar material with two types of stereoactive lone-pairs and a very large SHG response.
abstract: A new polar material containing two types of stereoactive lone-pairs has been synthesized. The unique parallel alignment of the stereoactive lone-pairs on Pb(2+) cations and the synergistic effect of two types of stereoactive lone-pairs on I(5+) and Pb(2+) cations make it exhibit a very large second-harmonic generation response of about 8 × KDP (KH(2)PO(4)).
