Abstract

A 'missing states' analysis is introduced and used to identify excited states and dynamics important for the second order susceptibility, x(2), and the third order susceptibility, x(3), using PPP-SCF-CI transition moments and energies and is applied to a group of organic molecules. Examination of charge distributions and bond orders for the relevant states suggests the features important for x(2) and x(3). The applicability of the two-level model and contributions of interstate coupling are also examined. Detailed results are presented for nitrobenzene and p-nitroaniline.
