Abstract
Several ferrocenyl-based oligomers with a pendant nitro group have been syn thesized and characterized. The crystal structure of the compound (E)-(eta (5)-C5H5)Fe(eta (5)-C5H4)-CH=CHC6H4NO2 is described, showing a centrosymmet ric arrangement as already proposed by several authors. The nonlinear optic al properties of the compounds have been measured by means of the HRS techn ique, showing the highest beta values for any organometallic compound with a pendant nitro group reported to date.
