Abstract

The successful incorporation of an organic chromophore with highly polarizable lead iodide chains in an organic–inorganic hybrid is revealed in this communication. The synthesis, structure, and preliminary studies of the linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the compound are divulged. The synergism exhibited between polarizable inorganic polymers and hyperpolarizable organic molecules provides a route to new multi-functional NLO materials.
