A(II)GeTeO6 (A = Mn, Cd, Pb) exhibit non-centrosymmetric two-dimensional honeycomb structure of PbSb2O6-type. The ordering of Ge4+ and Te6+ in octahedral environment breaks the inversion symmetry of parent PbSb2O6 structure. The size of A(II) cation in octahedral six coordination is an important factor to stabilize the PbSb2O6-type structure. Temperature-dependent SHG of A(II)GeTeO6 confirmed non-centrosymmetric character. Magnetic measurements of MnGeTeO6 indicate anti-ferromagnetic order at TN ≈ 9.4 K with a Weiss temperature of −22.47 K.
