Second-order nonlinear optical properties of octupolar molecules structure–property relationship†
Abstract
There is contemporary research interest in the development of second-order nonlinear optical materials exhibiting large first hyperpolarizabilities (β) for possible applications in electro-optic devices. In this article, the structure–property relationships of octupolar molecules such as tris(bipyridyl) metal ion complexes and 1,3,5-trisubstituted
