✦ Synopsis

Metal complexes of pyridine and bipyridine-type ligands charge-transfer (ILCT); (iii) bipyridyl ligands are also good building blocks that allow the construction of octupolar represent an important class of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials: (i) They can incorporate a variety of functionalised complexes with a defined geometry and symmetry. This review describes the recent developments in the design of ligands with a wide range of metals which can give rise to tuneable NLO properties; (ii) they are generally associated such dipolar and octupolar chromophores for second-order nonlinear optics. with intense low-lying charge-transfer excitations such as metal to ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) or intraligand MICROREVIEWS: This feature introduces the readers to the authors' research through a concise overview of the selected topic. Reference to important work from others in the field is included.
