Nonlinear optical crystals of fluosilicate Na 2 SiF 6 are synthesized via hydrothermal method and its structure is determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The space group of Na 2 SiF 6 is P 321 with cell parameters a = 8.8715(3) Å, c = 5.0484(5) Å, Z = 3, V = 344.09(4) Å 3 . The properties of the crystal are measured by powder XRD, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) near‐infrared (NIR) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The bandgap calculated using CASTEP is 7.41 eV, indicating that the cut‐off edge of the Na 2 SiF 6 crystal can be down to deep‐UV energy region. The first‐principles studies were performed to elucidate the structure/property relationship of Na 2 SiF 6 .
