CHF/6-311G* calculations of the first electronic and vibrational hyperpolarizabilities reveal that merocyanines present a substantial βv/βe ratio under their quinonoid nonpolar form. It originates from a large vibrational first hyperpolarizability whereas its electronic counterpart is small for this class of push-pull π-conjugated molecules. The transition from the quinonoid to the aromatic configuration is accompanied by an increase of βe and a decrease of the βv/βe ratio as well as by a ≈ 180° rotation in the plane of the molecule of βe and βv with respect to the molecular frame. Our results support the recent experimental discovery that antiparallel aggregation of aromatic and quinonoid forms of merocyanine is energetically favoured and that their first hyperpolarizabilities, which combine constructively, present both electronic and non purely electronic origins.

In this paper, we study single and double ionizations of N2O in a short elliptically polarized 800 nm laser pulse using the COLTRIMS technique. The molecular-frame photoelectron angular distribution and the ion sum-momentum distribution of single and double ionizations of N2O molecules are reported for the single ionization dissociative channel NO[Formula: see text] + N and the double ionization dissociative channel NO[Formula: see text] + N[Formula: see text]. The ionizations of multiple orbitals for the two studied dissociative channels were identified via studying the orientation dependent ionization rates for their KERs. The results show that the shape of the ionizing orbitals governs the single and double ionization processes of N2O.
