Abstract

Currently, the ruthenium-acetylide organometallic complexes form part of the most studied organometallic compounds in nonlinear optics. We highlight the nonlinear optical properties and the photo-induced structuration of new organometallic complexes containing a ruthenium-acetylide donor fragment able to compete with the strongest organic donors. The experimental studies of third-order nonlinear optical properties of alkynyl-ruthenium complexes are presented. Also we present the dynamics of formation of photo-induced surface relief gratings using a transmission holographic technique and the atomic force microscopy on ruthenium-acetylide complexes containing an azobenzene fragment.
