Abstract
Cubic molecular optical non-linearities of a systematically varied series of octahedral bis{bis(diphenylphosphino)methane}ruthenium σ-acetylide complexes have been determined by the Z-scan technique: the influence on the non-linear response of sequential replacement of chloro by acetylide ligand in trans-[RuCl2(dppm)2] and acetylide chain length in proceeding from 4-nitrophenyl-to 4-nitrobiphenyl-and 4-nitro-(E)-stilbenylacetylide has been studied. The first X-ray structural study of an unsymmetrical bis(acetylide) complex of this type, trans-[Ru(C≡CPh)(4-C≡CC6H4NO2)(dppm)2], is reported and confirms the trans-disposed stereochemistry of the alkynyl ligands.
