Popis: International audience; In this work, linear and nonlinear optical properties of electro-/acido-/photoswitchable indolino[2,1-b]oxazolidine derivatives were investigated. The linear optical properties of the closed and open forms have been characterized by UV–visible and IR spectroscopies associated with DFT calculations. Nonlinear optical properties of the compounds have been obtained by ex situ and in situ hyper-Rayleigh experiments in solution. We show that protonated, oxidized, and irradiated open forms exhibit the same visible absorption and NLO features. In particular, the closed and open forms exhibit a huge contrast of the first hyperpolarizability with an enhancement factor of 40–45. Additionally, we have designed an original electrochemical cell that allows to monitor in situ the hyper-Rayleigh response upon electrical stimulus. We report notably a partial but good and reversible NLO contrast in situ during oxidation/reduction cycles. Thereby, indolinooxazolidine moieties are versatile trimodal switchable units which are very promising for applications in devices.
