The first tin fluoride borate Sn 3 [B 3 O 7 ]F : This new fluoride borate was synthesized via hydrothermal synthesis. The structure contains B 3 O 7 groups forming three‐membered rings, whereby the fundamental building block consists of two corner‐sharing BO 3 triangles and one BO 4 tetrahedron described as ⟨□2Δ⟩. The existence of three tin cations and one fluoride anion, in combination with BO 3 and BO 4 groups crystallizing in a non‐centrosymmetric space group, leads to a highly interesting second harmonic generation response.
