The synthesis of nonlinear optical (NLO) active salts with stilbazolium derivatives and polyoxometalate (POM) counterions has been investigated. With known nonchiral stilbazolium derivatives, such as MOMS+, compounds with centrosymmetric structures have been isolated, like for instance the centrosymmetric salt (MOMS)4[Mo8O26] (1), synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. A new chiral derivative of the known DAMS+ molecules, named here CHIDAMS+, has therefore been synthesized in order to force the crystallization of the hybrid ionic salts in noncentrosymmetric space groups. The CHIDAMS+ cation has been crystallized under two polymorphic PF6− salts, (CHIDAMS)PF6 (2a and 2b), and its reactivity with various POMs has been investigated. The ionic salt (CHIDAMS)2[Mo5O13(OEt)4(NO){Na(H2O)0.5(DMF)0.5}] (4) crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric P21 group, but the push−pull axis of the CHIDAMS+ cations adopts a quasi-antiparallel alignment. The ionic salt (CHIDAMS)3[PW12O40]·2DMF (5) associating three CHIDAMS+ cations and a PW12O403− Keggin anion crystallizes also in the P21 space group, but the disposition of the cations in the solid state is far more favorable. Diffuse reflectance experiments have evidenced a charge transfer between the organic and inorganic components in 5, and Kurtz−Perry experiments show that this salt exhibits a second harmonic generation efficiency more than 10 times higher than those of the PF6− salts 2a and 2b, the hybrid salt 4, and all of the other NLO active POM molecular materials reported in the literature.
