Compromise between conjugation length and charge-transfer in nonlinear optical η5-monocyclopentadienyliron(II) complexes with substituted oligo-thiophene nitrile ligands: synthesis, electrochemical studies and first hyperpolarizabilities

A systematic series of η5-monocyclopentadienyliron(II) complexes with substituted oligo-thiophene nitrile ligands of general formula [FeCp(P_P)(NC{SC4H2}nNO2)][PF6] (P_P=dppe, (+)-diop; n=1-3) has been synthesized and characterized. The electrochemical behaviour of the new compounds was explored by...
