Huge second harmonic generation (SHG) activityis displayed by the new hybrid inorganic–organic material [DAMS*][Cu5I6] (see Figure). Ab-initio XRPD structure determination explains this through the presence of cationic guest J-aggregates between Cu-defective anionic host CuI slabs. Thermal stability and thin-film suitability make the material technologically interesting.
