Abstract

Ab initio CPHF calculations of static hyperpolarizabilities (β) were carried out in order to clarify the effects of nitrogen-atom substitution in π-conjugated chains with donor—acceptor substituents. The β values decrease gradually with the number of nitrogen atoms, and change drastically with the position of nitrogen-atom substitution in the polyenes. The effects of nitrogen-atom substitution are explained by the energy levels and the shapes of the frontier orbitals.
