Abstract

This study synthesized a series of methoxystilbazolium analogues with π-conjugation extended by attaching a fused aromatic ring, ie, 6-styrylisoquinolinium and 4-[2-(2-naphthyl) ethenyl] pyridinium derivatives with methoxy substituents. We evaluated their transition energies (E eg s) and second-order hyperpolarizabilities (βs) experimentally using their absorption spectra and a hyper-Rayleigh scattering measurement, respectively. ...
