However, important unresolved issues remain in this regard. In other words, it must be a crystal without a center of inversion symmetry. However, when organic compounds with large dipole moments in their molecules cancel out each other's dipole moments when they crystallize, as a result of their arrangement, the molecules have a large second-order supramolecular polarizability β. As a crystal or molecular aggregate, it may not exhibit second-order nonlinear optical effects because it has a center of inversion symmetry. Further, due to large intramolecular charge transfer, electronic transition absorption exists in the near-ultraviolet to visible range, which leads to IjJ, which is important for transparency as an optical material. In fact, there are a large number of such organic compounds.

An important challenge is to synthesize compounds from which crystals can be easily obtained.

As a result of intensive studies on the relationship between the second-order supramolecular polarizability β and transparency of aromatic compounds arranged in s2, and the modification of symmetry, we found that certain nitrophenyl carbamate ester derivatives have large second-order supramolecular polarizability β and transparency. Development of the present invention was confirmed by confirming that it has a molecular polarizability β, does not have a center of inversion symmetry when formed into a crystal or molecular aggregate, and has significantly improved transparency in the near-ultraviolet to visible range. This is what led to this.
