Whereas much of organic chemistry has classically dealt with the preparation and study of
the properties of individual molecules, an increasingly significant portion of the activity in …

The simultaneous appearance of polymorphs of a substance has long been recognized but
rarely noted or systematically studied. This phenomenon can be useful in the investigation of …

It has been more than 10 years since the first electric field poled second-order nonlinear
polymers were reported. 1'2 During this period a wide variety of polymeric systems have …

Coordination metal complexes with one-dimensional polymeric structures have long been
investigated as materials with unusual properties. Molecular-based ferromagnets, synthetic …

The design of molecular organic crystals—that is, the prediction of the packing of molecules
in the crystal based on the structure of the molecule, or the complete rationalization of …

This paper presents a review of recent work on the development of organic salts for second-
order nonlinear optical applications. In particular, salts in which the cation has been …

Stilbenes and compounds containing stilbene units in their structures form the material basis
for numerous research projects in photophysics and photochemistry. Moreover, because …

The linear and second-order nonlinear optical properties of single-crystal zinc tris (thiourea)
sulfate, or ZTS, are determined. The deduced nonlinear coefficients are| d_31|= 0.31 …

Strategies for the optimization of molecular second‐order nonlinearities have emerged over
the past few years, but significant questions still remain. This review highlights recent …

The present account describes some selected examples of the generation of
supramolecular architectures by recognition-directed self-assembly of components …
