Abstract
The synthesis and characterisation of a series of new pi-donor substit uted vinyl bipyridines and their rhenium, zinc and mercury complexes { donor = 4-R2N-C6H4- [R2N = Me2N, Bun2N, (Me)(OCt(n)N)]; (eta5-C5H5)Fe( eta5-C5H4-)} with large nonlinear optical properties are presented; EF ISH experiments at 1.34 mum show that complexation leads to a strong e nhancement (by a factor of 3 to 9) of the molecular hyperpolarisabilit y beta(0).
