N2 - Progress in the molecular quadratic and cubic nonlinear optical (NLO) and optical limiting properties of coordination, organometallic, and metal cluster complexes since CCC2 and COMC3 is reviewed. The relevant background theory is summarized, the strengths and shortcomings of techniques to measure these properties are discussed, and the systems of units that are used to quantify NLO performance are described. The coverage is organized by ligand type, with a major focus on pyridyl, polypyridyl, porphyrin, phthalocyanine, Schiff base, alkynyl, metallocenyl, and cluster complexes.
