It is well known that the practical applications of second-order and third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have been reported in modern technology, such as optical data processing, transmission and storage, etc. In this respect, the linear and nonlinear optical parameters (the molecular static polarizability (α), and the first–order static hyperpolarizability (β{sub 0}), the second–order static hyperpolarizability (γ)), UV-vis spectra and HOMO and LUMO energies of 2-(1′-(4’’’-Methoxyphenyl)-5′-(thien-2″-yl)pyrrol-2′-yl)-1,3-benzothiazole were investigated by using the HSEh1PBE/6–311G(d,p) level of density functional theory. The UV–vis spectra were simulated using TD/HSEh1PBE/6– 311G(d,p) level, and the major contributions to the electronic transitions were obtained. The molecular hardness (η) and electronegativity (χ) parameters were also obtained by using molecular frontier orbital energies. The NLO parameters of the title compound were calculated, and obtained data were compared with that of para-Nitroaniline (pNA) which is a typical NLO material and the corresponding experimental data. Obtained data of the chromosphere display significant molecular second-and third-nonlinearity.
