Two mixed organic cationic hybrid formate salts, (CH(NH₂)₂)[RE(HCOO)₄] (RE=Y, Er), have been obtained by in situ solvothermal synthesis. The two materials are isostructural (chiral space group C222₁) and feature interesting perovskite-like structures. Photophysical studies including linear and nonlinear optical characteristics were performed. (CH(NH₂)₂)[Y(HCOO)₄] and (CH(NH₂)₂)[Er(HCOO)₄] exhibited wide optical bandgaps of 5.59 and 5.61 eV, corresponding to the UV absorption edges of 222 and 221 nm, respectively. Powder second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements demonstrate that the SHG effects of (CH(NH₂)₂)[Y(HCOO)₄] and (CH(NH₂)₂)[Er(HCOO)₄] were 0.32 and 0.37 times that of benchmark KH₂PO₄ (KDP), respectively. The birefringences were measured to be 0.013 and 0.015 for (CH(NH₂)₂)[Y(HCOO)₄] and (CH(NH₂)₂)[Er(HCOO)₄], respectively. First-principles studies show that two π -conjugated (CH(NH₂)₂)⁺ and HCOO^- groups are the main contributors to the optical properties.
