    Abstract

    Hyper-Rayleigh scattering and Stark spectroscopic studies show that the complex salts [1-4]PF6 have larger static first hyperpolarizabilities β0 than [5-8]PF6, because the higher HOMO energy of a {RuII(NH3)5}2+ centre more than offsets the superior π-orbital overlap in the purely organic chromophores.
