Abstract
(M, M' = Li, Na, and K) alkalides. We hope this work could open up new possibilities for NLO material design by using coinage metal atoms as excess electron acceptors and, on the other hand, attract more experimental interest and efforts to synthesize such stable compounds in the laboratory.
