Abstract

Two novel compounds [HgI2(bpt)]2 (1) and [MnCl 2(bpt)2]n • 2CH3OH (2) (bpt = N,N′-bis(3-pyridylmethyl)thiourea), have been synthesized via the self-assembly reaction in solution. Complex 1 possesses a two-dimensional supramolecular network formed by hydrogen bonds among repeating [HgI 2(bpt)]2 dimeric units. Complex 2 is a one-dimensional coordination polymer containing uniform -MnCl2-(bpt) 2-MnCl2-(bpt)2- double chain. Their limiting thresholds were determined to be 1.0 J cm-2 for 1 and 0.7 J cm -2 for 2 and the results testified that the skeletal structure and constituted metal nuclearity have a strong impact on the NLO properties of the complexes.
