By using the semiempirical time-dependent Hartree-Fock PM3 calculation
s we have studied the frequency-dependent second- and third-order pola
rizabilities of thiophene-, pyrrole-nitro polyene systems. The PM3 pre
dicted limiting average second-order polarizabilities increase in the
order: pyrrole-> furan-> thiophene-nitro polyene systems. The average
and longitudinal third-order polarizabilties have the following order:
pyrrole->thiophene->furan-nitro polyene systems. In these trends. we
suggest that pyrrole group is the best donor group among the three pol
yene systems.
