Abstract
The first-order hyperpolarizability beta was determined for bent-shaped mol ecules P-8-PIMB and P-8-O-PIMB using the Hyper Rayleigh scattering method. beta s of these materials were found to be relatively large, about 30x10(-3 0) esu. These results are consistent with the second-harmonic generation ex periments performed in their liquid crystalline phases.
