✦ Synopsis


Second-harmonic generation from powders. of a series of three aromatic intramolecular charge-transfer moieties of Dlb symmetry is reported. One compound is shown to be active while its symmetric structure. precludes any molecular non-linear contribution of a vectorial nature such as usually prevails in polar paranitroaniline-liie systems. Similar nondipolar non-centrosymmetric molecular moieties could serve as building blocks in new types of optically non-liiear materials where the packing is not influenced by dipole-dipole interactions and the statistical occurrence of non-eontrosymmetry would consequently increase.
