Hot Article: Stilbazolium organic optical crystals

In their CrystEngComm Hot Article, O-Pil Kwon and colleagues have developed a new cation core structure, N-benzyl stilbazolium nonlinear optical chromophore with a non-polar benzyl group to achieve acentric molecular ordering in the crystalline state.
