"Push-no-pull" porphyrins for second harmonic generation imaging

The established approach to design a molecule with strong second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) activity is to connect an electron-donor to an electron-acceptor via a π-conjugated bridge, to generate push-pull system. Surprisingly, we have found that dyes with large first hyperpolarizabilities, and w...
