β¦ Synopsis
The effects of axial ligands in Sn(IV)-substituted 5,10,15,20-tetrakis [4-(carboethoxymethyleneoxy)phenyl]porphyrin and divalent transition metal substitution in 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin on the second molecular hyperpolarizability (g) at 802 nm were studied using the Z-scan technique. A significant increase in g for divalent metal ions is observed with decreasing d-shell occupancy. In the case of the tetravalent metal-substituted porphyrin a dramatic enhancement of g is seen when a strongly electronegative axial ligand such as I 2 is attached to the metal ion. A plausible explanation for the observed trend of g has been sought in terms of metal-ligand interaction.
