摘要
A series of tetrahedral iridium carbonyl clusters coordinated by systematically varied series of ligands have been studied by TDDFT method focusing on their electronic and non- linear optical properties. The clusters of Ir4（CO）12 （1）, Ir4（μ-CO）3（CO）9 （2）, Ir4（μ-L）（CO）10 （L = dppm 3, dppe 4, （Ph2P）2CHMe 5, Ph2P（CH2）3PPh2 6） and Ir4（CO）10（phen） （phen = 1,10-phen- anthroline） （7） exhibit the first static hyperpolarizabilities of medium magnitude （βtot-10×10^-30 esu）. The second order nonlinear optical response of the seven clusters increase from 0 to 23 ×10^-30 esu; the high symmetric cluster Ir4（CO）12 debases its symmetry and presents the second order nonlinear optical behavior as the coordination style of some carbonyls changes to bridge style, and then the response increases regularly with the systematical variation of the ligands. The origination of the first hyperpolarizability is discussed by the expanded orbital decomposition scheme. The results suggest the d-d electron transition from the apical iridium atom to the other three Ir atoms inside the metal skeleton, and d-πelectron transitions from metals to carbonyls are responsible for the first hyperpolarizabilities. Particularly, for cluster 7, the charge transfer from d orbitals of iridium to π＊ orbirals of phenanthroline originates the first hyperpolarizabilities.
