Abstract
cluster exhibits a promising third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) response, attributable to its narrow band gap and uniform electron/hole distribution, suggesting its potential as an optical switching material. This research introduces a fresh perspective on clusters, centered on delocalization, and broadens the domain of aromaticity studies. It also presents a novel method for designing efficient third-order NLO materials through consideration of the structure-activity relationship.
