Abstract

The second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of some bisdithiophene d8 metal complexes, for example, the donor–acceptor unsymmetrically substituted bisdithiophene nickel(II) complex shown in the Figure, are reported for the first time. The synthesis and characterization of the complexes are described and the relationship between their charge distributions and NLO properties is discussed.
