Abstract.
The Langmuir and Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films of a novel crowned [60]fullero-pyrrolidine (CFP) were produced in different conditions. Macroscopic second-harmonic generation of the LB film was investigated by means of AM1 Hamiltonian as well as experiments. The monolayer LB film displayed a periodic fringe pattern. A linear dependence of second-harmonic intensity on the number of layers was observed. The second-order molecular susceptibility χ(2) and hyperpolarizability β were evaluated to be 3.2×10−8 and 8.3×10−29 esu.
