Abstract:
To evidentiate the role of the nature of sulfonate ancillary ligands on the value of the quadratic hyperpolarizability
of Zn(II) complexes with stilbazole-like ligands, the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of [ZnY2(4,4¢-
trans-NC5H4CHdCHC6H4NMe2)2] complexes (Y ) CF3SO3, CH3SO3, or p-CH3C6H4SO3) are investigated. By working
at relatively high concentrations (>3 ´ 10-4 M), the positive effect of the triflate ligand remains unique while, with
nonfluorinated sulfonate ligands, the second-order NLO response is comparable to that of the related complexes
with acetate or trifluoroacetate as ancillary ligands. However, at dilutions higher than 10-4 M, all of the sulfonate
complexes reach huge quadratic hyperpolarizabilities because of solvolysis with the formation of cationic species
such as [ZnY(4,4¢-trans-NC5H4CHdCHC6H4NMe2)2]+, characterized by a large second-order NLO response. This
view is supported by careful conductivity measurements. The same behavior occurs if 4,4¢-trans-NC5H4CHdCHC6H4-
NMe2 is substituted by 4,4¢-trans,trans-NC5H4(CHdCH)2C6H4NMe2.
