Abstract

Abstract : Four new sulfate tellurites have been found from d 10 Metal–Te 4+ –SO4 2− systems and the mercury compound, Hg3 (Te3 O8 )(SO4 ), exhibits the largest birefringence among the reported metal sulfate tellurites to date. Abstract : Our exploration of novel inorganic solids with large birefringence in the d 10 Metal–Te 4+ –SO4 2− system afforded four new sulfate tellurites, Ga2 (TeO3 )(SO4 )(OH)2, In2 (TeO3 )2 (SO4 )(H2 O), Zn4 (Te3 O7 )2 (SO4 )2 (H2 O) and Hg3 (Te3 O8 )(SO4 ). Notably, Hg3 (Te3 O8 )(SO4 ) exhibits the largest birefringence at 532 nm (0.184) and 1064 nm (0.166) among the reported metal sulfate tellurites.
