Abstract
A novel series of alkaline earthides containing eight complexes based upon 36adz complexant are designed by placing carefully transition metals (V-Zn) on inner side and alkaline earth metal outer side of the complexant i.e., M+(36adz) Be- (M+ = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn). All the designed compounds are electronically and thermodynamically stable as evaluated by their interaction energy and vertical ionization potential respectively. Moreover, the true nature of alkaline earthides is verified through NBOs and FMO study, showing negative charge and excess electrons on alkaline earth metal respectively. Furthermore, true alkaline earthides characteristics are evaluated graphically by spectra of partial density state (PDOS). The energy gap (HOMO -LUMO gap) is very small (ranging 2.95 eV-1.89 eV), when it is compared with pure cage 36adz HOMO-LUMO gap i.e., 8.50 eV. All the complexes show a very small value of transition energy ranging from 1.68eV to 0.89eV. Also, these possess higher hyper polarizability values up to 2.8 x 105au (for Co+(36adz) Be-). Furthermore, an increase in hyper polarizability was observed by applying external electric field on complexes. The remarkable increase of 100fold in hyper polarizability of Zn+(36adz) Be- complex is determined after application of external electric field i.e., from 1.7 x 104 au to 1.7 x 106 au when complex is subjected to external electric field of 0.001 au strength. So, when external electric field is applied on complexes it enhances the charge transfer, polarizability and hyper polarizability of complexes and proves to be effective for designing of true alkaline earthides with remarkable NLO response.

Abstract
To identify superalkali-alkaline earthide ion pairs, it's theoretically shown that, as a novel class of excess electron superalkali compounds, both chair and boat forms of (AM-HMHC)-AM' (AM = Li, Na, and K; AM' = Be, Mg, and Ca; HMHC = 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexamethyl-1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaazacyclooctadecane) are good candidates. An attractive superalkali-alkaline earthide ion pair in δ+(AM-HMHC)-AM'δ- is firstly exhibited, which possesses alkaline-earthide characteristics and nonlinear optical response superior to similar M+(calix[4]pyrrole)M'- (M = Li, Na, and K; M' = Be, Mg, and Ca) with high stability. The electronic and vibrational second order hyperpolarizabilities and the frequency-dependent first hyperpolarizabilities of δ+(AM-HMHC)-AM'δ- are presented. For each pair of (AM-HMHC)-AM', the boat conformation is preferred to its chair one in the case of Hyper-Rayleigh scattering response (βHRS). These alkaline earthides suggest prominently high βHRS up to 2.59 × 104 a.u. (boat forms of δ+(Na-HMHC)-Caδ-). We expect that this work will inspire the preparation and characterization of these new alkaline earthides as high-performance NLO materials.

Abstract
Significant efforts are continuously exerted by the scientific community to explore new strategies to design materials with high nonlinear optical responses. An effective approach is to design alkalides based on Janus molecules. Herein, we present a new approach to remarkably boost the NLO response of alkalides by stacking the Janus molecules. Alkalides based on stacked Janus molecule, M-n-M' (where n = 2 & 3 while M and M' are Li/Na/K) are studied for structural, energetic, electrical, and nonlinear optical properties. The thermodynamic stability of the designed complexes is confirmed by the energetic stabilities, which range between -14.07 and -28.77 kcal/mol. The alkalide character of alkali metals-doped complexes is confirmed by the NBO charge transfer and HOMO(s) densities. The HOMO densities are located on the doped alkali metal atoms, indicating their alkalide character. The absorptions in UV-Vis and near IR region confirm the deep ultraviolet transparency of the designed complexes. The maximum first static and dynamic hyperpolarizabilities of 5.13 × 107 and 6.6 × 106 au (at 1339 nm) confirm their high NLO response, especially for K-2-M' complexes. The NLO response of alkalides based on stacked Janus molecules is 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than the alkalide based on Janus monomer. The high values of dc-Kerr and electric field-induced response e.g., max ∼107 and 108 au, respectively have been obtained. These findings suggest that our designed complexes envision a new insight into the rational design of stable high NLO performance materials.

Abstract
The designing of new materials having outstanding nonlinear optical (NLO) response is much needed for use in latest optics. Herein, the geometric, electronic and NLO properties of alkali and alkaline earth metals doped C6O6Li6 (alk-C6O6Li6-alkearth, alkearth = Ca, Mg, Be and alk = K, Na, Li) electrides is studied via quantum chemical approach. The interaction energies (Eint) are examined to illustrate their thermodynamic stability. The strong interaction energy of -39.99 kcal mol-1 is observed for Ca-C6O6Li6-Li electride in comparison to others. Frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) energy gap of considered complexes is changed due to the electronic density shifting between metals and C6O6Li6 surface, which notifies the semi conducting properties of these electrides. The FMOs isodensities and natural bond orbital (NBO) charge analysis are performed to justify charge transfer between dopants and complexant. UV-Visible study also confirmed the application of these electrides as deep ultra-violet laser devices. NLO response is studied through calculation of first hyperpolarizability (βo). The highest βo value of 1.68 × 105 au is calculated for Mg-C6O6Li6-K electride. NLO response is further rationalized by three- and two-level models approach.

Abstract
A new series of alkaline earthides based on Cryptand [2.2.2] (C222) containing nine complexes is designed by carefully placing alkali metals and alkaline earth metals inside and outside the C222 complexant, respectively i.e., M1(C222)M2 (M1 = Li, Na, K; M2 = Be, Mg, Ca). The designed complexes are reasonably stable both electronically and thermodynamically, as revealed through their vertical ionization potentials (VIPs) and interaction energies, respectively. Moreover, the true alkaline earthide nature of the complexes is confirmed through NBO and FMO analyses showing the negative charges and HOMOs over the alkaline earth metals, respectively. The further validity of true earthide characteristic is represented graphically by the spectra of partial density of states (PDOS). HOMO-LUMO gaps of the compounds are also very small (from 2.23 to 2.83 eV) when compared with pure cage's (C222) H-L gap i.e., 5.63 eV. All these features award these complexes with very small values of transition energies (ΔE) ranging from 0.68 to 2.06 eV ultimately resulting in remarkably high hyperpolarizability values up to 2.7 × 105 au (for Na+(C222)Mg-). Furthermore, applying external electric field (EEF) on the complexes enhances hyperpolarizability further. A remarkable increase of 1000 folds has been seen when hyperpolarizability of K+(C222)Ca- is calculated after EEF application i.e., from 8.79 × 104 au to 2.48 × 107 au; when subjected to 0.001 au external electric field.

Abstract
In this study, nine new electron rich compounds are presented, and their electronic, geometrical, and nonlinear optical (NLO) characteristics have been investigated by using the Density functional theory. The basic design principle of these compounds is placing alkaline earth metal (AEM) inside and alkali metal (AM) outside the hexaammine complexant. The properties of nine newly designed compounds are contrasted with the reference molecule (Hexaammine). The effect of this doping on Hexaamine complexant is explored by different analyses such as electron density distribution map (EDDM), frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), density of states (DOS) absorption maximum (λmax), hyperpolarizabilities, dipole moment, transition density matrix (TDM). Non-covalent interaction (NCI) study assisted with isosurfaces has been accomplished to explore the vibrational frequencies and types of synergy. The doping of hexaammine complexant with AM and AEM significantly improved its characteristics by reducing values of HOMO-LUMO energy gaps from 10.7eV to 3.15eV compared to 10.7 eV of hexaammine. The polarizability and hyperpolarizability (αo and βo) values inquisitively increase from 72 to 919 au and 4.31 × 10-31 to 2.00 × 10-27esu respectively. The higher values of hyperpolarizability in comparison to hexaammine (taken as a reference molecule) are credited to the presence of additional electrons. The absorption profile of the newly designed molecules clearly illustrates that they are highly accompanied by higher λmax showing maximum absorbance in red and far-red regions ranging from 654.07 nm to 783.94 nm. These newly designed compounds have superior outcomes having effectiveness for using them as proficient NLO materials and have a gateway for advanced investigation of more stable and highly progressive NLO materials.

Abstract
Organic compound-based nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have sparked a lot of attention due to their multitude of applications and shorter optical response times than those of inorganic NLO materials. In the present investigation, we designed exo-exo-tetracyclo[6.2.1.13,6.02,7]dodecane (TCD) derivatives, which were obtained by replacing H atoms of methylene bridge carbon with alkali metals (Li, Na, and K). It was observed that upon the substitution of alkali metals at bridging CH2 carbon, absorption within the visible region occurred. Moving from 1 to 7 derivatives, the maximum absorption wavelength of the complexes exhibited a red shift. The designed molecules showed a high degree of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and excess electrons in nature, which were responsible for rapid optical response time and significant large molecular (hyper)polarizability. Calculated trends also inferred that the crucial transition energy decreased in order that also played a key role in the higher nonlinear optical response. Furthermore, to examine the effect of the structure/property relationship on the nonlinear optical properties of these investigated compounds (1-7), we calculated the density of state (DOS), transition density matrix (TDM), and frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs). The largest first static hyperpolarizability (βtot) of TCD derivative 7 was 72059 au, which was 43 times greater than that of the prototype p-nitroaniline (βtot = 1675 au).

Abstract
Carbon-based polynuclear clusters are designed and investigated for geometric, electronic, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties at the CAM-B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Significant binding energies per atom (ranging from -162.4 to -160.0 kcal mol-1) indicate excellent thermodynamic stabilities of these polynuclear clusters. The frontier molecular orbital (FMOs) analysis indicates excess electron nature of the clusters with low ionization potential, suggesting that they are alkali-like. The decreased energy gaps (EH-L) with increased alkali metals size revael the improved electrical conductivity (σ). The total density of state (TDOS) study reveals the alkali metals' size-dependent electronic and conductive properties. The significant first and second hyperpolarizabilities are observed up to 5.78 × 103 and 5.55 × 106 au, respectively. The βo response shows dependence on the size of alkali metals. Furthermore, the absorption study shows transparency of these clusters in the deep-UV, and absorptions are observed at longer wavelengths (redshifted). The optical gaps from TD-DFT are considerably smaller than those of HOMO-LUMO gaps. The significant scattering hyperpolarizability (βHRS) value (1.62 × 104) is calculated for the C3 cluster, where octupolar contribution to βHRS is 92%. The dynamic first hyperpolarizability β(ω) is more pronounced for the EOPE effect at 532 nm, whereas SHG has notable values for second hyperpolarizability γ(ω).

Abstract
Continuous attempts are being made to discover new approaches to design materials with extraordinary nonlinear optical responses. Herein, for the first time, we report the geometric, electronic, and nonlinear optical properties of novel Janus transition metalides AM-J-TM (where AM = Li, Na and K, and TM = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) containing alkali metals as a source of excess electrons for transition metals to generate metalides. The Janus organic complexant used for the study is all cis 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexafluorocyclohexane F6C6H6 (J). These complexes contain the unique involvement of alkali metals (AM = Li, Na and K) as a source of excess electrons, which significantly affects the hyperpolarizability values of the resulting transition metalides. The NBO analysis reveals the charge transfer from alkali metals to the transition metals, thereby confirming the metalide behavior of the complexes. Moreover, the metalide nature of these complexes is validated through frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis. The values of interaction energies, vertical ionization potential (VIP) and vertical electron affinity (VEA) illustrate the stability of the metalide complexes. Ultimately, the hyperpolarizability values confirm the excellent nonlinear optical response of the designed transition metalides. The remarkable static first hyperpolarizability (β0) response up to 4 × 108 a.u. is observed for complexes of vanadium. Similarly, the complexes of AM-J-Mn and Li/Na-J-Sc show significantly high NLO response. These compounds besides providing a new entry into excess electron compounds will also pave the way for the design and synthesis of further novel NLO materials.

Abstract
To combine both electride and alkalide characteristics in one molecular switch, it is shown herein that the phenalenyl radical and the M3 ring (M3-PHY, M = Li, Na, and K) stacked with parallel and vertical geometries are good candidates. The former geometry is the superalkali electride e-⋯M3+-PHY while the latter geometry is the superalkalide Mδ--M2(1-δ)+-PHY-. The superalkalide Mδ--M2(1-δ)+-PHY- may isomerize to the superalkali electride e-⋯M3+-PHY (M = Li, Na, and K) using suitable long-wavelength irradiation, while the latter may isomerize to the former with suitable short-wavelength irradiation. Also, applying suitable oriented external electric fields can drive the superalkalide Mδ-M2(1-δ)+-PHY- to change into the superalkali electride e-⋯M3+-PHY (M = Li, Na, and K). The differences in the static and dynamic first hyperpolarizability (β0) values between them were also studied.

Abstract
Exploring novel nonlinear optical (NLO) materials with excess electron properties is essential for advancing the use of excess electron compounds in optics. The studied superalkali clusters NM3M' (M, M' = Li, Na, K) are thermodynamically stable and their binding energies range from -27.10 to -53.84 kcal mol-1. The observed significant values for VIPs suggest their electronic stabilities. Being excess electron candidate these clusters show significant βo value (3.9 × 107 au), which nicely correlates the hyperpolarizability reported by a two-level model (βtl). Furthermore, these clusters exhibit a remarkable static second hyperpolarizability (γo) value of 1.1 × 1010 au for the NK4 superalkali cluster. The hyper Rayleigh scattering (βHRS) is also computed where the highest value of 2.9 × 107 is recorded for NNa3K superalkali. The obtained values of βvec values (projection of hyperpolarizability on dipole moment vector) also signify the excellent nonlinearity of clusters. Besides, the calculated electro-optica pockel's effect β(-ω; ω,0) and second harmonic generation β(-2ω; ω, ω) values are much pronounced at larger dispersion frequency ω = 1064 nm. Moreover, the frequency-dependent second hyperpolarizability γ(ω) with dc-Kerr effect γ(-ω; ω,0,0) and electric field induced second harmonic generation γ(-2ω; ω,ω,0) show larger values at ω = 1064 nm. Thus the highest value of the dc-Kerr constant increases up to 1.0 × 1011 au which also signifies the larger nonlinear refractive index of the studied cluster. We hope this work could open up new possibilities using superalkali clusters as NLO materials for optoelectronics, laser, second harmonic generation and as frequency doubler.

Abstract
Based on the interesting Janus-type all-cis1,2,3,4,5,6-hexafluorocyclohexane (1) molecule, a novel type of excess electron compounds MF-1-MH (MF = Li, Na and K, MH = Zn, Cd and Hg) were designed theoretically. The geometric structures, electronic structures and nonlinear optical properties of MF-1-MH compounds were studied by density functional theory. Our results show that in Li-1-MH, the obvious charge transfer between Li and MH can be observed while in Na/K-1-MH, the charge transfer between Na/K and MH is negligible. Particularly, the MF-1-MH exhibit remarkable nonlinear optical (NLO) response and the first hyperpolarizability of the K-1-Zn almost achieve 1.0 × 106 au. We hope this work will further enrich the family of excess electron compounds, so that more experimental interests and efforts can be attracted to propose and synthesize new excellent NLO materials.

Abstract
This Review outlines the progression, primarily of our own work, but with important contributions from other labs, on the synthesis and properties of multiple vicinally fluorinated alkyl chains and rings. Chain conformations of individual diastereoisomers with -CHF- at adjacent carbons are influenced by stereoelectronic factors associated with the polar C-F bond and the polarised geminal hydrogens. Generally, the chain will prefer a conformation which acts to minimise overall molecular polarity, and where the C-F bonds orient away from each other. However, when vicinal fluorine atoms are positioned on a ring then conformations are more constrained. The ring will adopt optimal conformations such as a chair in cyclohexane and then C-F bonds can be introduced with a stereochemistry that forces parallel (axial) orientations. In the case of cyclohexane, 1,3-diaxial arrangements of C-F bonds impart considerable polarity to the ring, resulting in an electronegative 'fluorine face' and an electropositive 'hydrogen face'. For all-syn 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexafluorocyclohexane, this arrangement generates an unusually polar aliphatic ring system. Most recently the concept has been extended to the preparation of all-syn 1,2,3-trifluorocyclopropanes, a rigid ring system with fluorine atoms on one face and hydrogens on the other. Lipophilicity Log P values of such compounds indicate that they are significantly more polar than their parent alicyclic hydrocarbons and give some positive indication for a future role of such substituents in medicinal chemistry. Expanding to such a role will require access to improved synthesis methods to these motifs and consequently access to a broader a range of building blocks, however some exciting new methods have emerged recently and these are briefly reviewed.

Abstract
The possibility of using coinage metal atoms as excess electron acceptors is examined for the first time by designing a new class of M+-1-M'- (M = Li, Na, and K; M' = Cu, Ag, and Au) compounds termed "coinage metalides" on the basis of an intriguing Janus-type all-cis1,2,3,4,5,6-hexafluorocyclohexane (1) molecule. Under the large facial polarization of 1, the outermost ns1 electrons of alkali metal atoms can be transferred to coinage metal atoms, forming diffuse excess electrons around them. Consequently, the resulting M+-1-Cu- and M+-1-Ag- compounds exhibit significantly large nonlinear optical (NLO) responses. In particular, these novel M+-1-M'- compounds exhibit much higher stability (larger VIEs and Ec values) than that of the corresponding M+·1·M'- (M, M' = Li, Na, and K) alkalides. We hope this work could open up new possibilities for NLO material design by using coinage metal atoms as excess electron acceptors and, on the other hand, attract more experimental interest and efforts to synthesize such stable compounds in the laboratory.
