Abstract
Herein, we present a novel cage-cluster-based framework composed of Ti<sub>4</sub>L<sub>6</sub> (L = embonate) tetrahedra and [Pb<sub>4</sub>(<i>µ</i><sub>3</sub>-OH)<sub>4</sub>]<sup>4+</sup> cubane-like clusters that also exhibits high stability in water, air, and other common solvents. According to the topology study, it exhibits a chiral <strong>srs</strong>-type network. Integrating titanium cages and lead-oxo clusters into a rigid cage-cluster-based framework significantly enhances its third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) property.
