Abstract
Third-order hyperpolarizabilities were calculated using the Hückel Hamiltonian and third-order perturbation theory for a series of phosphonitrilic compounds, (X2P-N)n, as a function of bond length alternation and ligand substitution. Phosphonitrilic compounds show hyperpolarizabilities comparable to those reported for organic species, and are modulated by ligand group electronegativity. In contrast to organic polyenes, the difference in π orbital energy between phosphorus and nitrogen is critical to determining the onset of saturation and the magnitude of the hyperpolarizability.
