Popis: Novel pi-conjugated donor-acceptor chromophores, based on the strong electron-donating tetrathiafulvalene moiety and different electron-withdrawing acceptors, exhibit large second-order optical nonlinearities. The effect of increasing the length of the polyenic spacer and the influence of the nature of the acceptor moiety on the NLO properties have been studied by using the electric field-induced second-harmonic generation (EFISH) technique as well as by semiempirical and ab initio theoretical calculations. A charge-transfer band has been observed in the absorption spectra of these D-pi-A compounds that undergoes an hypsochromic shift when increasing the number of vinylenic spacer units connecting both donor and acceptor moieties. The degree of the intramolecular charge transfer from the donor to the acceptor has also been analyzed by means of Raman spectroscopy.
