This short review outlines the main results obtained in the field of molecular materials based
on zinc coordination compounds for second-order nonlinear optics. It presents an overview …

Push–pull molecules represent a unique and fascinating class of organic π‐conjugated
materials. Herein, we provide a summary of their recent extraordinary design inspired by …

In the search of new materials characterized by high two-photon absorption (TPA) efficiency,
many efforts have been devoted to design chromophores with enhanced TPA responses …

We present a theoretical investigation of small aggregates of quadrupolar (A–π–D–π–A or D–
π–A–π–D) charge-transfer dyes, with attention focused on the role of intermolecular …

Synthesis of a series of novel push–pull stilbazole-based chromophores containing a strong
2-halocinchomeronic dinitrile acceptor is reported. The photophysical properties of the …

A new design of tethered binary chromophores has been studied for nonlinear optics. In this
work, a push–pull tetraene structure with a strong dialkylaminophenyl donor and a CF3-TCF …

Substitution of the diglyme ligand of [Eu (hfa) 3 (diglyme)](where hfa is
hexafluoroacetylacetonate) with a simple 1, 10-phenanthroline leads to a six-fold increase of …

Experimental and theoretical investigations are presented on four quadrupolar molecules
constituted of a central electron-acceptor 2, 1, 3-benzothiadiazole conjugated at both sides …
