Improved transparency--nonlinearity trade-off with boroxine-based octupolar molecules

A series of octupolar molecules derived from the boroxine framework were designed and their optical nonlinearities were investigated by performing harmonic light scattering experiments in solution; the molecules were found to combine excellent transparency in the near UV-visible region (lambdamax &l...

Description
Summary:A series of octupolar molecules derived from the boroxine framework were designed and their optical nonlinearities were investigated by performing harmonic light scattering experiments in solution; the molecules were found to combine excellent transparency in the near UV-visible region (lambdamax < or = 280 nm) and significant first-order hyperpolarisabilities (up to beta(0) = 56 x 10(-30) esu).
