Ruthenium Complexes as Versatile Chromophores with Large, Switchable Hyperpolarizabilities

  • Chapter
Non-Linear Optical Properties of Matter

Part of the book series: Challenges and Advances in Computational Chemistry and Physics ((COCH,volume 1))

Abstract

This work provides a relatively comprehensive review of studies involving ruthenium coordination and organometallic complexes as nonlinear optical (NLO) compounds/materials, including both quadratic (second-order) and cubic (third-order) effects, as well as dipolar and octupolar chromophores. Such complexes can display very large molecular NLO responses, as characterised by hyperpolarizabilities, and bulk effects such as second harmonic generation have also been observed in some instances. The great diversity of ruthenium chemistry provides an unparalleled variety of chromophoric structures, and facile RuII → RuIII redox processes can allow reversible and very effective switching of both quadratic and cubic NLO effects
