Abstract

A number of novel salts of dipolar cations containing dimethylamino electron donor and pyridinium electron acceptor groups have been prepared and studied by using various physical techniques including hyper-Rayleigh scattering and Stark (electroabsorption) spectroscopy. In addition to showing very large molecular static first hyperpolarizabilities, several of these salts exhibit pronounced bulk quadratic nonlinear optical effects. Related compounds in which the electron donor is a pyridyl-coordinated ruthenium(II) ammine centre have also been investigated, allowing interesting comparisons to be made between transition metal-containing and purely organic nonlinear optical chromophores.
