A novel dmit 2- complex: [( C 2 H 5)4 N][Co(dmit) 2], abbreviated as EtCo , was synthesized and its third-order optical nonlinearities were characterized by Z-scan technique at the wavelength of 1064 nm with laser duration of 40 ps. Z-scan curves revealed a negative nonlinear refraction at 1064 nm and a positive absorption was observed. The nonlinear refraction coefficient n2, the nonlinear absorption coefficient β and the molecular second hyperpolarizability γ have been determined to be as large as 9.51×10-19 m 2/ W , 2.19×10-12 m/W and 5.41×10-31 esu respectively, suggesting that this material has potential applications in optical limiting.
