Z. Wu et al., SYNTHESIS AND OPTICAL-PROPERTIES OF A NEW CLASS OF ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS - ORGANOMETALLIC MEROCYANINES, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 528(1-2), 1997, pp. 217-219
A new class of organometallic compounds, organometallic merocyanines b
ased upon the [(eta-(C5H5)(2)Fe-2(CO)(2)(mu-CO)] fragment acting as a
donor, have been synthesized and characterized. The non-linear optical
properties of these organometallic merocyanines have been determined
by electric field induced second harmonic generation and indicate that
these compounds have large second-order optical non-linearities.
