TL;DR: A series of new strategies for enhancing NLO response and electronic stability of electride and alkalide molecules are exhibited by using various complexants, which include not only the behaviors of pushed and pulled electron, size, shape, and number of coordination sites of complexants but also the number and spin state of excess electrons in these unusual NLO molecules.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical analysis of the NLO properties of sp2 hybridized carbon nanomaterials is presented, and the importance of several structural designs to tune NLO amplitudes is highlighted.

TL;DR: Mechanistic studies have revealed that the catalytic cycle of this reaction is initiated by the cleavage of the aryl-nitro (Ar-NO2) bond by palladium, which represents an unprecedented elemental reaction.

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper designed a boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) as a protective shield molecule to encapsulate an unstable excess electron compound (LiCN⋯Li) with an extremely large β0 value (310196 a.u.).

TL;DR: This work finds that the pyramidal distribution of the excess electron is the key factor to determine the first hyperpolarizability of Li@N-BNNT, which reveals useful information for scientists to develop new electro-optic applications of BNNTs.
