[4′-(Dimethylamino)biphenyl-4-yl]dimesitylborane (BNB) and 4-[4′-(Dimethylamino)pnenylazo]phenyldimesityl-borane (BNA) have been investigated by X-ray diffraction; crystallographic data were used to calculate dipole moments in the ground state and the hyperpolarizability coefficient βo was measured by the EFISH technique for each derivative. The results show that the trivalent boron group is an efficient electron acceptor compared to other known acceptors such as the nitro group. Organoboron derivatives are promising candidates for nonlinear optical materials.
