Nonlinearity Enhancement by Solid-State Proton Transfer: A New Strategy for the Design of Nonlinear Optical Materials

Theoretical considerations of the molecular hyperpolarizabilities (β) of donor−acceptor substituted aromatic molecules show that the transfer of a proton from the electron-donor group of an acid to the electron acceptor group of a base could increase β for both resulting ionic species relative to th...
