This review provides a survey of nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores and materials
incorporating them which have been demonstrated over the last several years. Conventional …

The interest in organic–inorganic hybrids as materials for optics and photonics started more
than 25 years ago and since then has known a continuous and strong growth. The high …

This contribution details the synthesis and chemical/physical characterization of a series of
unconventional twisted π-electron system electro-optic (EO) chromophores. Crystallographic …

Sol–gel derived hybrid organic–inorganic materials present several advantages to the
design of materials for optical applications: they have versatile and relatively facile …

The very peculiar characteristics of zwitterions, as well as a clearand unambiguous
definition, have been overlooked in past literature. However, these compounds are …

The strongly enhanced cooperative influence of medium polarity and organic structural
design on the first hyperpolarizability β of a novel family of highly polarizable azinium‐(CH …

A series of zwitterionic hybrid polymers were prepared from the ring-opening polymerization
of pyromellitic acid dianhydride (PMDA) and phenylaminomethyl trimethoxysilane …

Compiling recent advances in membrane separations technology, this highly relevant book
