The second electric dipole hyperpolarizability of the lithium atom is calculated using a series of multiconfiguration SCF wave functions with an increasing number of active space orbitals. In agreement with other recent calculations, we find a very large correlation correction to the hyperpolarizabi

β¦ Synopsis
Calculations are reported on the dipole moments, transition energies, and hyperpolarizabilities of 1-amino-4-nitrobutadiene and its four aza-analogs using a semiempirical sum-over-states method. The results obtained suggest that the presence of nitrogen in the unsaturated chain can have a substantial beneficial effect on the molecular hyperpolarizablity provided that it is placed in a position which assists charge transfer from the donor to acceptor group on excitation. The values calculated for the 3- azabutadiene are greater than those found for either the simple butadiene or for donor-acceptor aromatics or five-membered heterocycles. The results do not agree with those reported recently using an ab initio approach.

A method is proposed to evaluate the hyperpolarizability directly from the ab initio CI matrices without diagonalizing them. The method is an extension of that called "the frequency-dependent moment method", which we have developed and applied for frequency-dependent polarizability calculations.
Ab initio CPHF calculations of static hyperpolarizabilities (fl) were carried out in order to clarify the effects of nitrogen-atom substitution in ~-conjugated chains with donor-acceptor substituents. The fl values decrease gradually with the number of nitrogen atoms, and change drastically with the
