Abstract

Hydrazone, 1,1-dimethylhydrazone, methylhydrazone, phenylhydrazone and p-nitrophenyl hydrazone derivatives of substituted aromatic aldehydes were prepared and screened for second harmonic generation using the Kurtz powder technique. One compound, 4-nitro-3-methoxybenzaldehyde hydrazone exhibited a second harmonic signal up to 32 times that of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde hydrazone exhibited a second harmonic signal five times higher than previously reported, up to 40 times that of ADP. 3-methyl-4-nitrobenzaldehyde hydrazone, 4-nitrobenzaldehyde phenylhydrazone, 1-naphthaldehyde phenylhydrazone, 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde phenylhydrazone exhibited second harmonic signals 25, 2.5, 5 and 20 times that of an ADP standard.
