In this work, we report a theoretical exploration of the responses of organic azobenzene dendrimers. The polarizabilities, the first and second hyperpolarizabilities of the azobenzene monomers （GO）, and the first, second and third generation （G1, G2 and G3, respectively） are investigated by semi-empirical methods. The calculated results show that the nonlinear optical （NLO） properties of these organic dendrimers are mainly determined by the azobenzene chromospheres. Additionally, the values oft and y increase almost in proportion to the number of chromophores. On the other hand, two types of transition metal hybrid azobenzene dendrimers （core-hybrid and branch-end hybrid according to the sites combined with transition metals） are simulated and discussed in detail in the framework of time-dependent density functional theory （TDDFT）. The calculated results reveal that the NLO responses of these metal dendrimers distinctly varied as a result of altering the charge transfer transition scale and the excitation energies.
A di-molybdenum carbonyl compound containing thiolate and dithiocarbamate ligands, [Bu4N][（CO）4Mo（μ-SC6H5）2Mo（C5H10dtc）（CO）2] 1 （CsH10dtc = S2CNC5H10）, has been prepared by reaction of [Mo2（SC6H5）2（CO）8] with C5H10dtcNa and [NBu4]Br in acetone. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/n with a = 13.162（3）, b = 17.466（2）, c = 20.453（4） A,β= 100.77（1）°, Z = 4, V= 4619（2）A^3, C40H56Mo2N2O6S4, Mr = 980.95, De= 1.389 g/cm^3,μ = 7.66 cm^-1, F（000） = 1988 and R = 0.0746 for 5161 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. The complex contains a [Mo2S2]^2- planar core in which one Mo atom is chelated by a C5H10dtc ligand, leading to different coordination environments of the two Mo atoms. 95Mo NMR measurement indicates that the two Mo atoms are in different oxidation states.
