Description In this work we assess the significant electrooptic properties of a novel chalcone derivative 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-yl) prop-2-en-1-one using a computational approach. The ground-state molecular geometry was optimized, and geometrical parameters and vibrational modes are established and found to be in strong correlation with experimental results. The excitation energy is observed to be 326 nm (3.8 eV), calculated at the TD/B3LYP/6-31G level (stands for time dependent/Becke's three Lee-Yang-Parr/basis set). Additionally, a unique insight was gained on a number of properties of the molecular levels such as the HOMO-LUMO gap (i.e.) and electrostatic potential maps. The potential applications of the 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (CPP) molecule in nonlinear optics are confirmed by second and third harmonic generation studies at five different characteristic wavelengths. The static and dynamic polarizability are found to be many-fold higher than that of urea. The second and third harmonic generation values of the titled molecule are found to be 56 and 158 times higher than standard urea molecule, respectively, computed at same wavelength (i.e. 1064.13 nm). From these studies it is clear that the material possesses superior properties and could be applied in optoelectronic device fabrications.
