The results of molecular mechanics calculations, hyperpolarizabilities calculations, synthesis, and X-ray analysis of three monomers for non-linear optical polymers are presented. All monomers are derivatives of dicyanovinylbenzene with methoxy and methacryloxy substituents in different positions (full isomers): 2-(4-methacryloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,1-dicyanoethylene 6a, 2-(3-methacryloxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-1,1-dicyanoethylene 6b, and 2-(2-methacryloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,1-dicyanoethylene 6c. On the basis of structural results for molecules 6a-c and calculations of molecular hyperpolarizability, monomer 6a was found to be the most prospective candidate for NLO polymer preparation.
