Innentitelbild: Designing Sulfate Crystals with Strong Optical Anisotropy through π‐Conjugated Tailoring (Angew. Chem. 4/2024).

Keywords: Birefringence; Optical Anisotropy; Sulfate Crystals; TetrahedraA design strategy for significantly enhancing the polarizability anisotropy of isotropic tetrahedra in sulfate crystals is reported by Zhiyong Bai and Kang Min Ok in their Research Article (e202315311). This strategy involves chemically alternating tetrahedral [SO4]2− units with π‐conjugated organic groups. Experimental validation of the approach utilized 3‐pyridinesulfonate anion functional building blocks for crystal synthesis...By Zhiyong Bai and Kang Min OkReported by Author; Author [Extracted from the article]
