The six compounds Ba{sub 2}GaMQ{sub 5} (M=Sb,Bi; Q=Se,Te) and Ba{sub 2}InSbQ{sub 5} (Q=Se,Te) have been synthesized for the first time. Ba{sub 2}GaMQ{sub 5} (M=Sb,Bi; Q=Se,Te) and Ba{sub 2}InSbTe{sub 5} crystallize in the centrosymmetric space group Pnma, while Ba{sub 2}InSbSe{sub 5} belongs to the noncentrosymmetric polar space group Cmc2{sub 1}. The structures of the six new compounds contain infinite {sup 1}{sub {infinity}}[MM'Q{sub 5}]{sub 4-} anionic chains built by MQ{sub 4} (M Prime =Ga,In) tetrahedra and heavily distorted M Prime Q{sub 6} (M Prime =Sb,Bi) octahedra. Ba{sub 2}InSbSe{sub 5} possesses a band gap of 1.92(5) eV and exhibits a weak powder second harmonic generation signal using the 2090 nm laser as fundamental wavelength. - Graphical abstract: Ba{sub 2}InSbSe{sub 5} contains infinite {sup 1}{sub {infinity}}[InSbSe{sub 5}]{sub 4-} chains which are built by corner-shared InSe{sub 4} tetrahedra chains and edge-shared SbSe{sub 6} octahedra chains connected through edge sharing . Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Ba{sub 2}GaMQ{sub 5} (M=Sb,Bi; Q=Se,Te) and Ba{sub 2}InSbQ{sub 5} (Q=Se,Te) have been synthesized. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The structures contain infinite {sup 1}{sub {infinity}}[MM'Q{sub 5}]{sub 4-} (M Prime =Ga,In) anionic chains. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The chains are built by distorted MQ{sub 6} (M=Sb,Bi) octahedra and M Prime Q{sub 4} (M Prime =Ga,In) tetrahedra. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Ba{sub 2}InSbSe{sub 5} exhibits a weak powder second harmonic generation signal.
