Abstract

A simple solution process without the assistance of surfactant, catalyst, or template under ambient conditions in air has been used to prepare single-crystal hollow microtubes with a rectangular cross section from [2-(p-dimethylaminophenyl)-ethenyl]phenylmethylenepropanedinitrile (DAPMP). The DAPMP microtubes (see picture for SEM images) show remarkably strong frequency-doubling nonlinear optical properties. (Figure Presented) © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH S. Co. KGaA.
