    Abstract

    The third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of a series of platinum diimine-dithiolate complexes [Pt(N^N)(S^S)] were investigated by means of Z-scan measurements, revealing second hyperpolarizability values up to 10−29 esu, saturable absorption properties, and nonlinear refractive behaviour, which were rationalized also by means of DFT calculations.
