A bottom-up modelling strategy is adopted to discuss the linear and nonlinear optical spectra of a prototypical push–pull dye, 4-dimethylamino-4′-nitrostilbene (DANS), in different environments, from solutions to linear aggregates, fully accounting for the molecular polarity and polarizability. In particular, we demonstrate a large amplification of the first hyperpolarizability of linear aggregates with a superlinear dependence on the aggregate size. Results are discussed with reference to recent experiments for DANS molecules aligned inside single-wall carbon nanotubes, leading to a complete and internally consistent description of the observed spectral properties in terms of ∼7 aligned molecules, reducing by an order of magnitude the size of the aggregate estimated in the hypothesis of linear amplification, as expected for non-interacting molecules. This has important implications for material design: it is possible to obtain a large amplification of the first hyperpolarizability by aligning just a few DANS molecules (or more generally, a few polar dyes showing normal solvatochromism) without the need to grow large ordered systems.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
