CONSTITUTION:A stilbene deriv. comprising 4-(2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethenyl) benzaldehyde expressed by the formula I has a formyl group and a nitro group in each phenyl group, respectively, of stilbene (a trans isomer of diphenyl ethylene), having superior crystallizability. Single crystals may be easily obtd. from its soln. in an org. solvent by the slow evaporation method, and formed single crystals are stable at room temp. the symmetry of the crystal can be eliminated by introducing a formyl group as a substituent in the nucleus into a 4-position of one of the phenyl groups, thus, the material becomes useful for the generation of second higher harmonic(SHG). By this method, a material capable of forming a single crystal being stable at room temp. and having high SHG is obtd. The material is useful as optical control element, etc., in wide field.

Nonlinear optical inorganic materials generally have good crystallinity and are easy to obtain large crystals, but they have the disadvantage of having smaller nonlinear optical constants than organic materials. On the other hand, although it is known that some nonlinear optical organic materials generally have large nonlinear optical constants, it is difficult to prepare stable and large organic crystals at room temperature.

For example, among conventionally known organic crystals, MNA has SHG activity because it is a crystal without a center of symmetry, and
It has been reported that the harmonic generation efficiency is about 2000 times that of L i N b Os. However, MNA has the disadvantage that it is difficult to obtain large single crystals, making it impractical. Further, although it is easy to obtain large single crystals from urea, it has the drawbacks of low SHG activity and poor moisture resistance. DANS exhibits a very large value of molecular polarizability β at the molecular level, but organic crystal DANS does not exhibit SHG activity because it has a center of symmetry when crystallized.
