    Abstract:
    A novel D-pi-A system in which tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and pi-extended TTFs as strong electron donors are covalently connected to a tricarbonyl (eta(6)-arene)chromium complex as the acceptor moiety through a systematically increased conjugated bridge of vinylene units (12a-c, 16a-c) have been synthesized by Wittig-Horner olefination reaction. The electronic spectra as well as the electrochemical data reveal a different behavior of TTF derivatives (12a-c) and of exTTF derivatives (16a-c). Cyclic voltammetry shows the influence of the tricarbonylchromium arene on the oxidation potentials in compounds 12a-c, and no remarkable effect is observed for exTTFs (16a-c). The nonlinear optical properties of 12a-c and 16a-c have been calculated by using the ab initio CPHF/6-31G//B3P86/6-31G model, and the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method has been used for the calculation of the electronic transitions. The calculations reveal that an intraligand charge-transfer transition (ILCT) and the metal to ligand charge-transfer transition (MLCT) are responsible for the nonlinear response. In addition, the large angles formed by the ground-state dipole moment and the vectorial hyperpolarizability are responsible for the mubeta values determined experimentally by the EFISH technique.
