TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of a cross-linkable NLO dendrimer 3 exhibiting very large optical nonlinearity and excellent thermal stability are reported and several other advantages derived from this approach, such as excellent alignment stability and mechanical properties, which are obtained through the sequential hardening/cross-linking reactions during the high-temperature electric-field poling process.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of electro-optical (EO) dendrimers is presented, and a double-end functionalization of a three-dimensional phenyl-tetracyanobutadienyl (Ph-TCBD)-containing nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore with thermally crosslinkable trifluorovinylether-containing dendrons is presented.

TL;DR: The semiconducting film based on bis(o-diiminobenzosemiquinonate) nickel(II) complex showed uniaxial orientation structure along the normal to the substrate and good p-type metal-organic thin-film transistor (MOTFT) character.

TL;DR: A pseudorotaxane that acts as a thermally driven molecular switch in the single-crystal state is presented, which is regarded as a demonstration of a new type of optical crystal.

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of a series of high temperature triaryl amino chromophores with unprecedented hyperpolarizability values for potential EO applications is described, which are bridged to powerful acceptors such as tricyanovinyldihydrofuran via vinyl thiophene linkages.
