Summary:The exploration of short-wave ultraviolet (SUV; λ < 280 nm) transparent phosphates with substantial birefringence is crucial for the advancement of SUV laser industry. Despite their SUV transparency and potential for constructing materials with large birefringence, open-framework (OF) phosphates have rarely been explored for their birefringent properties. Herein, through a systematic exploration in this field, a new ethylenediamine-based OF zincophosphate, Na­(C2H10N2)2[Zn3(PO4)2(H0.5PO4)]2 (NEZPO), has been developed. NEZPO exhibits remarkable SUV transparency and significant birefringence (Δn = 0.060 at 546 nm), highlighting the potential for the development of benign SUV crystals within the OF phosphates family.
