Abstract
The linear optical properties of Langmuir-Blodgett films of alternatin g layers of the electron acceptor, octadecylthiobenzoquinone, and the electron donor 7-(N- dodecylaminomethyl)-8-16-dioxadibenzo[f,g]perylen e indicate that only a weak intermolecular contact is formed at the in terface between donors and acceptors. Structural data based on linear dichroism and X-ray diffraction show that the intermolecular contact b etween donor and acceptor layers is possible due to the carbonyl lonep airs in the acceptor, which are directed towards the interface. The pr ospects for donor-acceptor interfaces in nonlinear optical materials a re discussed.
