“…Organic single crystals are now common when investigating new materials with broad applicability in the realm of NLO devices . The π-electronic delocalization in, for example, aromatic fragments, of these organic NLO-phores, can give rise to specific strong noncovalent interactions such as π-stacking, thus greatly increasing their packing density and ultimately leading to large nonlinear responses. − One family of these organic crystals, which are highly studied, are the stilbazolium derivatives, mainly due to their good crystal growth, satisfactory performance in NLO, and crystal transparency in the vis–NIR region, in most cases, very desirable for applications in optoelectronics. − Therefore, theoretical approaches aiming at describing the electronic features responsible for good NLO properties of stilbazolium derivatives can be an invaluable tool both to predict and/or understand practical experimental investigations in the realm of NLO and photonics.…”
