The synthesis of several new truxenones and one tris(dicyanomethylene) derivative substituted bydifferent amines at positions 4, 9, and 14 is reported. A complete characterization of the NLO propertiesof representative derivatives was carried out by hyper-Rayleigh scattering; the major electronic effectsand the influence of the structural modifications on the NLO properties have been examined. Because oftheir C3 symmetry and their large first hyperpolarizability, the chiral versions of the tris(dicyanomethylene)truxene derivatives are of interest for second-order nonlinear optics in uniaxially aligned chiral media.
