Photoswitching of the second-order nonlinearity of a tetrahedral octupolar multi DTE-based copper(I) complex

Photoswitching of the second-order nonlinearity of a tetrahedral octupolar multi DTE-based copper(I) complex

The modulation of the quadratic NLO response of an octupolar metal-based chromophore featuring four photochromic dithienylethene units is reported. Quantum mechanical simulations are consistent with a full switching of the DTE units and reproduce the strong enhancement of the NLO response.
