Exploring the impact of substituents and π-conjugation on structural, optical and nonlinear optical studies in ferrocene-appended D-π-A and D-D'-π-A chromophores.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A new series of push-pull chromophores (1–6) with ferrocene and methoxyphenyl donors and π-acceptor groups were synthesized and characterized. The chromophores (1–3) [Fc-C = C(CN)-(C6H4)-(C6H3)-R {R = H (1), OCH3 (2), CF3 (3)}] and D-D’-π-A (4–6), [Fc-(OCH3-C6H4)-C = CH=CN-(C6H4)-(C6H3)-R {R = H (4), OCH3 (5), CF3 (6)}] were studied for their photophysical and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the crystal structures of selected chromophores 1, 3, 4, and 6, showing various non-covalent interactions such as H-bonding and C-H⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅π interactions. The second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) response of chromophore 6 shows significantly enhanced second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency, approximately 2.9 times higher than that of standard potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP), due to the extended π-conjugation results in deviation of chromophores from planarity, which prevents antiparallel alignment in the bulk. To gain deeper insight into structure-property relationships, bond length alternation (BLA) values were evaluated based on BLA, correlating with NLO performance. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6–31 + G** level included both static and dynamic energy-dependent hyperpolarizabilities, showing good agreement with experimental optical and NLO results.
