Abstract
Flip the NLO switch! A straightforward access to hexadithienylethene-based photochromes by using a coordination-chemistry approach through the combination of bis(dithienylethene)bipyridyl ligands and metal ions (M = Zn, Fe) is reported. The photostability of the isomeric forms of the iron(II) complexes allows the photoswitching of second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) responses (see figure), and the results are rationalized with the help of time-dependent density functional theory.
