New Vanadium Selenites: Centrosymmetric Ca2(VO2)2(SeO3)3(H2O)2, Sr2(VO2)2(SeO3)3, and Ba(V2O5)(SeO3), and Noncentrosymmetric and Polar A4(VO2)2(SeO3)4(Se2O5) (A = Sr2+ or Pb2+)

Five new vanadium selenites, Ca2(VO2)2(SeO3)3(H2O)2, Sr2(VO2)2(SeO3)3, Ba­(V2O5)­(SeO3), Sr4(VO2)2(SeO3)4(Se2O5), and Pb4(VO2)2(SeO3)4(Se2O5), have been synthesized and characterized. Their crystal structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds exhibit one- or two-dimensional structures consisting of corner- and edge-shared VO4, VO5, VO6, and SeO3 polyhedra. Of the reported materials, A4(VO2)2(SeO3)4(Se2O5) (A = Sr2+ or Pb2+) are noncentrosymmetric (NCS) and polar. Powder second-harmonic generation (SHG) measurements revealed SHG efficiencies of approximately 130 and 150 × α–SiO2 for Sr4(VO2)2(SeO3)4(Se2O5) and Pb4(VO2)2(SeO3)4(Se2O5), respectively. Piezoelectric charge constants of 43 and 53 pm/V, and pyroelectric coefficients of −27 and −42 μC/m2·K at 70 °C were obtained for Sr4(VO2)2(SeO3)4(Se2O5) and Pb4(VO2)2(SeO3)4(Se2O5), respectively. Frequency dependent polarization measurements confirmed that the materials are not ferroelectric, that is, the observed polarization cannot be reversed. In addition, the lone-pair on the Se4+ cation may be considered as stereo-active consistent with calculations. For all of the reported materials, infrared, UV–vis, thermogravimetric, and differential thermal analysis measurements were performed.
