Abstract

The discovery and designed synthesis of multifunctional materials is a leading pursuit in materials science. Herein, we report a novel hydro-isocyanurate, N₂H₄Zn(HC₃N₃O₃), which combines strong second harmonic generation (SHG) and ultra-long room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP). The SHG intensity is the highest within the cyanurate system (13 × KDP), and RTP lifetime extends up to 448 ms, accompanied by a long-lasting afterglow visible to the naked eye for 1.2 s, surpassing most of the current metal–organic complexes. This advancement holds promise for the development of multifunctional optoelectronic devices, particularly leveraging second-harmonic generation (SHG) processes.
