  ABSTRACT: Much interest has been devoted to organometallic NLO materials. We have become interested in exploring the utility of ferrocenyl group as the conjugating bridge. Thus, we synthesized 1-{{[1,3-(5-methylbenzo)dithiol]-2-yli- dene}methyl}-1’-[2-(p-nitrophenyl)-(E)-ethenyl]ferrocene (1). This new ferrocenyl compound has a donor and an acceptor group in 1,1’-positions. Investigations of the solvatochromic property of the compound revealed that it has polarized structure in a polar solvent, such as DMF. SHG efficiency of the compound was estimated by an SHEW (second-harmonic generation with the evanescent wave) method.
