Abstract
Appropriate functionalization of the cyclometalated ligand, L, and the choice of the ancillary ligand, X, allows the dipolar second-order nonlinear optical response of luminescent [PtLX] complexesin which L is an N<^>C<^>N-coordinated 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene ligand and X is a monodentate halide or acetylide ligandto be controlled. The complementary use of electric-field-induced second-harmonic (EFISH) generation and harmonic light scattering (HLS) measurements demonstrates how the quadratic hyperpolarizability of this appealing family of multifunctional chromophores, characterized by a good transparency throughout much of the visible region, is dominated by an octupolar contribution.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
