Abstract
Merocyanine dyes that exhibit antithetic cyanine-like behaviour and giant first-order hyperpolarisability (β) values have been designed. These cyanine-type dyes open up an intriguing route towards molecular-based electro-optic materials as well as new second-harmonic generation dyes for imaging.
