Strong infrared absorption, dithiolene optical properties

Since Chapter 6 (352) in this volume is devoted to the luminescence and photochemistry of dithiolene complexes, these aspects will not be developed here. In this section, we restrict ourselves to the review of dithiolene complex-based compounds exhibiting optical properties, such as strong infrared (IR) absorption and second- and third-order nonlinear optical properties. In the last part of this section, we will review the use of some dithiolene complexes for optical data storage (printers, developer, CD-ROM, etc.). Contrary to what was observed throughout the two previous sections, no particular dithiolene complex really dominates the domain of the molecular materials exhibiting interesting optical properties.
