Schematic diagram of lone-pair electron ‘chemical scissors’

Caption

This diagram depicts the process by which the lone-pair electron ‘chemical scissors’ strategy produces a novel two-dimensional van der Waals oxide. The novel two-dimensional oxide crystals are non-centrosymmetric and have in-plane anisotropy with strong nonlinear optical responses.
