Abstract
2-docosylamino-5-nitropyridine (DCANP) is a molecule displaying strong nonlinear optical effects in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. DCANP show s higher nonlinearities as compared to its aliphatic chain derivatives (C18H37 to C26H53). To explain this we determined the orientation of the chromophores and the hyperpolarizabilities by means of nonlinear o ptical techniques.
