Influence of metal electronic and ligand properties on the second-order nonlinear optical response of organometallic complexes by hyper-Rayleigh scattering

摘要

In short, the coordination of metal strongly affects the trend of the NLO response, whereas the ligand fixes the threshold. In summary, the present work demonstrates clearly the drastic influence of the metal electronic configuration on NLO response. We currently further study the influence of the ligands as well as the NLO/transparency trade-off.
