A series of chromophores based on a mono-, di- or tri-substituted triphenylamine core and allylidenemalononitrile fragments has been designed. The linear and second order nonlinear optical properties as well as thermal stability of the chromophores have been studied experimentally. Structure-property relationships, in terms of the branching effect on the triphenylamine core and the influence of the aniline/coumarin part on the photophysical properties and NLO response, have been highlighted. The experimental results have been rationalized by theoretical calculations.
