Exploring ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear-optical (NLO) materials is significant for the conversion of a high-frequency laser. Two scandium phosphites, Sc(HPO3)(H2PO3)(H2O) and Sc(H2PO3)3, were successfully synthesized. Centric Sc(HPO3)(H2PO3)(H2O) exhibits a short UV cutoff edge (<200 nm) and a unique double-layer structure of [Sc2(HPO3)2(H2PO3)2(H2O)2]∞. The acentric Sc(H2PO3)3 exhibits a three-dimensional [Sc(H2PO3)3]∞ structure with a large band gap of 4.05 eV, and it demonstrates a moderately phase-matchable second-harmonic-generation response [0.60 × KDP (KH2PO4)] at 1064 nm. The crystal structures, optical properties, and theoretical calculations of the two compounds are discussed. This work will promote the exploration of new NLO phosphite materials.
