Abstract Deep‐ultraviolet (UV) birefringent materials are urgently needed for advancing light polarization in deep‐UV lithography. In crystal engineering, maximizing anisotropy by classical template alteration demonstrates its efficiency achieving superior performance characteristics. Consequently, a novel planar functional building unit (FBU), [CON 3 H 5 ], is proposed, acquired amino modulation within the urea template. This article presents methodical investigation of fluoroborate [(CON 6 )BF 4 ] (AUBF), designed unifying π ‐conjugated cation with fully fluorinated non‐ tetrahedron single system. The compound exhibits well‐balanced properties, owing to parallel molecular arrangement, and has been characterized as high‐performing material. As known all, it first semi‐organic urea‐based reach region cutoff edge at 196 nm, substantial birefringence 0.127@546 similar that previously reported compounds well commercial α ‐BBO (0.123@546 nm). work not only identifies gene improved optical but also opens door synthesizing via structural regulation design strategy.
