We demonstrate that bilayer graphene exhibits strong nonlinear optical response in the terahertz frequency regime. The electric field strength required to generate single-frequency and triple-frequency nonlinear optical responses comparable to the linear optical response is only moderate and can be easily achieved in laboratory. This strong nonlinear optical response persists even in room temperature. This suggests that bilayer graphene can potentially be utilized in nonlinear terahertz photonics.

A variable-temperature crystallographic study of [Cu(L OH)2][ClO4]2·2(CH3)2CO [L OH = 2,6-bis(hydroxyiminomethyl)pyridine] between 30 and 300 K is presented. The complex exhibits an unusual electronic structure at room temperature with a {d_{z^2}}1 ground state, corresponding to an axially compressed ligand coordination geometry about the copper ion. This reflects a suppression of the pseudo-Jahn–Teller distortion that is normally shown by copper(II) compounds with this ligand geometry [Halcrow et al. (2004). New J. Chem. 28, 228–233]. On cooling the compound undergoes an abrupt structural change at 157 ± 3 K, that does not involve a change in the space group (P\bar 1), but causes significant changes to c and the unit-cell angles. This reflects a conformational rearrangement of the complex dication, towards a more typical pseudo-Jahn–Teller elongated coordination geometry. This occurs concurrently with a crystallographic ordering of one of the two perchlorate anions, and a significant displacement of the two lattice acetone molecules. The transformation involves displacements of up to 0.5 Å in the non-H atoms of the structure at 30 K, compared with their positions at 300 K. The change in coordination geometry of the complex around 157 K is reflected in a small reduction in its magnetic moment near that temperature.

We report a theoretical investigation and elucidation of the x-ray absorption spectra of neutral benzene and of the benzene cation. The generation of the cation by multiphoton ultraviolet (UV) ionization as well as the measurement of<br>the carbon K-edge spectra of both species using a table-top high-harmonic generation (HHG) source are described in the companion experimental paper [M. Epshtein et al., J. Phys.<br>Chem. A., submitted. Available on ChemRxiv]. We show that the 1sC -> pi transition serves as a sensitive signature of the transient cation formation, as it occurs outside of the spectral window of the parent neutral species. Moreover, the presence<br>of the unpaired (spectator) electron in the pi-subshell of the cation and the high symmetry of the system result in significant differences relative to neutral benzene in the spectral features associated with the 1sC ->pi* transitions. High-level calculations using equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory provide the interpretation of the experimental spectra and insight into the electronic structure of benzene and its cation.<br>The prominent split structure of the 1sC -> pi* band of the cation is attributed to the interplay between the coupling of the core -> pi* excitation with the unpaired electron<br>in the pi-subshell and the Jahn-Teller distortion. The calculations attribute most of<br>the splitting (~1-1.2 eV) to the spin coupling, which is visible already at the Franck-Condon structure, and estimate the additional splitting due to structural relaxation to<br>be around ~0.1-0.2 eV. These results suggest that x-ray absorption with increased resolution might be able to disentangle electronic and structural aspects of the Jahn-Teller<br>effect in benzene cation.<br>

Using semiempirical CNDO-UHF method the adiabatic potential surface of 2[Cu(OH)6]4- complexes is investigated. The values of vibration and vibronic constants for Eg - (a1g + eg) vibronic interaction attain extremal values for the optimal O-H distance. The Jahn-Teller distortion decreases with increasing O-H distance. The discrepancy between experimentally observed elongated bipyramid of [Cu(OH)6]4- in Ba2[Cu(OH)6] and the compressed one obtained by quantum-chemical calculation is explainable by hydrogen bonding of the axial hydroxyl group.
