Electrochemical Switching of the Cubic Nonlinear Optical Properties of an Aryldiethynyl-Linked Heterobimetallic Complex between Three Distinct States

Successive oxidation processes in a heterobimetallic iron–ruthenium complex (see picture) “switch” the optical transitions at long wavelengths, and these linear electrochromic effects are accompanied by changes in the nonlinear optical properties of the complex.
