Abstract
The hydrothermal reactions of PbCl2 or PbBr2 with diethyl [(phenylsulfonyl)methyl]phosphonate afforded two lead(II) phosphonates with the formula [Pb3(Ph–SO2–CH2–PO3)2X2(H2O)] [X = Cl (1) and Br (2)]. The two compounds are isostructural and exhibit a lamellar structure in which the phenylsulfonyl chromophores orient unilaterally on the inorganic layer of [Pb3(PO3)2X2(H2O)]. The acentric stacking of such layers results in their crystallization in the noncentrosymmetric Cc space group, and both compounds show second harmonic generation responses comparable to that of KDP (KH2PO4).
