Two 3,6-diiodocarbazole derivatives were prepared from the iodination of the corresponding phenylcarbazole. 3,6-Diiodo-9-phenylcarbazole crystallises in the chiral space group P21 and shows good second-harmonic generation effects. Thermogravimetric analysis of the two compounds shows high thermal stabilities, in which the decomposition temperature for 1 and 2 are 273 and 308 °C, respectively.

p-nitrophenylazoaniline (1) belongs to the family of compounds with conjugated bonds and delocalized π-electrons, structurally similar to the well known push-pull compound Disperse Red 1 (DR1).1 Due to the assembly of the molecule, nonlinear optical (NLO) properties are expectable and can be more or less accurately predicted. To estimate the potential for second-order NLO properties, the electric dipole moment (μ), dispersion-free dipole polarizabilities (α) and first hyperpolarizabilities (β) have been determined by density functional theory (DFT) quantum chemical calculations at B3LYP/ 6-311 + G(d, p) level. According to the computation results, the synthesized compound exhibits non-zero β values and it might have second-order NLO behavior. Title compound has been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopies. The maximum one-photon absorption (OPA) wavelengths were estimated to be shorter than 450 nm by quantum mechanical computations using the configuration interaction (CI) method. The same result was achieved by UV-Vis spectra measurements, whereas the compound exhibited good optical transparency to the visible light. Quantitative measurements of second harmonic generation (SHG) at 800 nm and 1064 nm have been performed. The relative efficiency comparable with that of KDP (kalium diphosphate) has been observed with the exciting wavelength of 1064 nm, while the other wavelength led to strong absorption of produced light by the sample. In the following more detailed study on frequency-dependent first hyperpolarizabilities using time-dependent Hartree–Fock (TDHF) method have been computed at the wavelengths used in SHG measurements.

In order to find new ionic compounds with good characteristics for second harmonic generation (SHG), the relationship between first hyperpolarizabilities (β) and the position of the cationic center with respect to the benzene ring was investigated. The β values of a series of trimethylammonium cations: X–C 6 H 4–( CH 2)n N +( CH 3)3, where X = H , CH 3, OCH 3, NH 2, and N ( CH 3)2; n = 0–2, were calculated by using the MOPAC PM3 method. Relatively large calculated β values were obtained when X = N ( CH 3)2 and X = NH 2. Series of [4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]trimethylammonium ( X = N ( CH 3)2; n = 0) and [2-(4-aminophenyl)ethyl]trimethylammonium ( X = NH 2; n = 2) derivatives were synthesized. Among them, seven SHG-active complexes were found and four crystal structures were determined.

The present report lists selected publications on centrosymmetric compounds that manifest second harmonic generation responses in a laser, along with a few publications that dispute the laser outcomes. Two studies provide a plausible explanation for this apparent contradiction between second-order nonlinear susceptibility and inversion symmetry: the crystals are noncentrosymmetric and are twinned by inversion. If crystal structures of SHG-active compounds are presented in centrosymmetric settings, the authors of the publications may consider stipulating that the true space group is likely to be one of the noncentrosymmetric sub-space groups.

Crystals of maleates of three amino acids with hydrophobic side chains [L-leucenium hydrogen maleate, C6H14NO2+·C4H3O4−, (I), L-isoleucenium hydrogen maleate hemihydrate, C6H14NO2+·C4H3O4−·0.5H2O, (II), and L-norvalinium hydrogen maleate–L-norvaline (1/1), C5H11NO2+·C4H3O4−·C5H12NO2, (III)], were obtained. The new structures containC22(12) chains, or variants thereof, that are a common feature in the crystal structures of amino acid maleates. The L-leucenium salt is remarkable due to a large number of symmetrically non-equivalent units (Z′ = 3). The L-isoleucenium salt is a hydrate despite the fact that L-isoleucine is a nonpolar hydrophobic amino acid (previously known amino acid maleates formed hydrates only with lysine and histidine, which are polar and hydrophilic). The L-norvalinium salt provides the first example where the dimeric cation L-Nva...L-NvaH+was observed. All three compounds have layered noncentrosymmetric structures. Preliminary tests have shown the presence of the second harmonic generation (SGH) effect for all three compounds.
