Abstract:
Birefringent materials play a crucial role in advanced applications such as nonlinear optics, high-density data storage, and display technologies. Three birefringent compounds, P4S3 (1), P4S5 (2), and P4S7 (3), are studied, all exhibiting broad transmission in the range of approximate to 0.38-14 mu m, with remarkable birefringence values of 0.178, 0.173, and 0.194 @546 nm, respectively, surpassing that of commercial alpha-BaB2O4 (0.124 @546 nm). The relationships between their topological atomic and bonding properties and birefringent performance are established by high-resolution experimental charge density. The unusual phenomenon of considerable differences in single molecule polarizability anisotropy among 1-3, despite their similar crystal birefringence, can be attributed to 3D aromaticity and packing effects, which induce enhanced electron delocalization and directional noncovalent pi-pi interactions, unprecedently in the field of birefringent materials. This work provides valuable insights for the design of new birefringent materials by leveraging packing effects to induce favorable charge density characteristics.
