Since p-nitroaniline (pNA) was found to have relatively high hyperpolarizability for one aromatic ring chromophores with a short maximum absorption wavelength of ca. 375 nm and a cutoff wavelength of ca. 480 nm, several polymers having pNA units were prepared to obtain high second-order nonlinearity, i.e., second harmonic generation (SHG). The authors synthesized a new styrene derivative, MNPAMS, 4-((N-methyl-N-(4{prime}-nitrophenyl)amino)-methyl)styrene, a pNA unit linked by only one methylene carbon, and examined the polymerization behavior. The optical properties of the polymer were also studied.
