Abstract

The molecular first hyperpolarizabilities for a series of systematically varied (triphenylphosphine) gold σ-acetylide complexes have been determined by hyper-Rayleigh scattering. The effects upon molecular optical nonlinearity of chloro versus acetylide ligand, presence of a nitro substituent, organometallic acetylide chromophore chain lengthening by ene, imine, and yne linkages, and stereochemistry about the ene linkage have been ...
