T1  - Hyperpolarizability of donor-acceptor azines subject to push-pull character and steric hindrance
N2  - The push-pull character of two series of donor-acceptor azines has been quantified by C-13, N-15 chemical shift differences of the partial C(1)=N(1) and N(2)=C(2) double bonds in the central linking C(1)=N(1)-N(2)=C(2) unit and by the quotient of the occupations of the bonding pi and anti-bonding pi* orbitals of these bonds. Excellent correlation of the latter push-pull parameter with the corresponding bond lengths d(C=N) strongly recommend both the occupation quotients pi*/pi and the corresponding bond lengths as reasonable sensors for quantifying the push, pull character along the C=N-N=C linking unit, for the donor-acceptor quality of the two series of azines and for the molecular hyperpolarizability beta(0) of these compounds. Within this context, reasonable conclusions concerning the interplay of steric hindrance in the chromophore, push-pull character and hyperpolarizability of the azines and their application as NLO materials will be drawn.
