PG - 30612-30620 LID - 10.1021/acsomega.3c04248 [doi] AB - To provide a novel intramolecular self-redox switch, a boron-based sandwich-like complex Rb(3)BeB(6)Be'Rb'(3) is achieved by using theoretical computations. An applicable oriented external electric field (OEEF) can result in the occurrence of intramolecular self-redox (IMSR) with a long-range electron transfer from tetrahedral Be'Rb'(3) to Rb(3)Be and subsequently [Rb(3)Be](3+)[B(6)](6-)[Be'Rb'(3)](3+) (D(3d)) changes to [Rb(3)Be](2+)[B(6)](6-)[Be'Rb'(3)](4+) (C(3v)), accompanying high-performance NLO switchable effect for both static and dynamic first hyperpolarizability (beta(0)). [Rb(3)Be](3+)[B(6)](6-)[Be'Rb'(3)](3+) (off-form) owns zero of dipole moment (mu(0)) and beta(0), while [Rb(3)Be](2+)[B(6)](6-)[Be'Rb'(3)](4+) (on-form) exhibits a mu(0) of 3.36 D and a beta(0)(e) of 2.18 x 10(5) au. The different dynamic first hyperpolarizabilities between [Rb(3)Be](3+)[B(6)](6-)[Be'Rb'(3)](3+) and [Rb(3)Be](2+)[B(6)](6-)[Be'Rb'(3)](4+) are also significant. This indicates that Rb(3)BeB(6)Be'Rb'(3) is a potential candidate for an IMSR NLO switch. CI - (c) 2023 The Authors. Published by American Chemical Society.
