“…Among several organic compounds reported for their NLO properties, chalcone derivatives are prominent materials due to their excellent blue-light transmittance and ease of forming crystals. They provide the configuration necessary to show NLO activity, with two planar rings connected through a conjugated double bond (Patil, Teh et al, 2006;Patil, Ng et al, 2007;Patil, Rosli et al, 2007). The title compound, (I), was prepared as part of our ongoing studies on non-linear optical materials Shettigar et al, 2006;Chantrapromma, Jindawong et al, 2006;Chantrapromma, Ruanwas et al, 2006).…”
