Abstract

Various structural features, such as proton disorder or noncovalent interactions, determine the existence of switchable nonlinear optical properties under varying external conditions. Thus, for the single crystal of diiodobutenyl-bis-thioquinolinium triiodide with the bridge hydrogen atom, previously characterized under ambient conditions by C2/c symmetry, we have measured Raman spectra in the temperature range from 298 K down to 113 K. Variations in low-wavenumber region of Raman spectra at temperatures below 153 K have been attributed to the change of the bridge hydrogen atom position in the [NHN]+ fragment, thus lowering the crystal symmetry from C2/c to Cc. Quantum chemical calculations in the solid state for noncentrosymmetric Cc structure predict high hyperpolarizability and second-order electric susceptibilities, comparable to those of modern nonlinear optical materials. This indicates the emergence of nonlinear optical properties in the low-temperature phase of the studied crystal. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
