AbstractThe synthesis and characterization of donor-acceptor substituted unsymmetrical bisdithiolene nickel complexes are described for the first time. X-ray single crystal data indicate that the complexes exist with two types of bonding structures, namely, the π-localized and π-delocalized structures. The relation between bonding structures and the molecular second-order nonlinear optical properties, i.e., solvatochromism, dipole moment, and molecular first hyperpolarizability is discussed.
