  abstract  = {The Push-pull character of two series of donor-acceptor triazenes has been quantified by C-13 and N-15 chemical shift differences of the partial N(1)=N(2) and N(3)=C(4) double bonds in the central linking C=N-N=N-C unit and by the quotient of the occupations of both the bonding pi and antibonding orbitals pi* of these partial double bonds. Excellent correlations of the two estimates, to quantify the push-pull effect, with the bond lengths strongly recommend the occupation quotients pi*/pi, the N-15 chemical shift differences Delta delta[N(l),N(2)], and the corresponding bond lengths as reasonable sensors for quantifying charge alternation along the C=N-N=N-C linking unit, for the donor- acceptor quality of the triazenes 1 and 2 and for the molecular hyperpolarizability beta(0) of these compounds. Within this context, certain Substances can be strongly recommended for NLO application.},

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.},

  abstract  = {The push-pull character of a series of para-phenyl substituted isophorone chromophores has been quantified by the 13C chemical shift difference of the three conjugated partial C=C double bonds and the quotient of the occupations of both the bonding and anti-bonding orbitals of these C=C double bonds as well. The correlations of the two push-pull quantifying parameters, and to the corresponding bond lengths, strongly recommend ;*c=c/ ;c=c as the general parameter to estimate charge alternation and as a very useful indication of the molecular hyperpolarizabilities for NLO application of the compounds studied.},
