摘要
Compound 1, containing an octamethylferrocene donor linked to a nitrothiophene acceptor via an ethenyl linker, shows a static first hyperpolarisability beta (0) of 95(+/- 10) x 10(-30) esu, which is reduced to 10(+/-2) x 10(-30) esu on oxidation of the octamethylferrocene unit; this provides for a simple redox-based switching of the NLO characteristics of the compound.
