Metal iodates with a lone-pair containing I(V) in an asymmetric coordination geometry can form a diversity of unusual structures, including non-centrosymmetric (NCS) or polar structures with promising second order NLO properties. They have wide transparent wavelength regions, large second-harmonic-g...
