AbstractConsidering the tricyanomethanide ion \cn as a prototype for octopole-like molecules we explore the solvent, correlation and frequency dependences of its polarizability (\alpha) and first hyperpolarizability (\beta), using a reaction field response model with single- and multiconfigurational self-consistent wavefunctions. The convention problem of relating the hyperpolarizability obtained from the hyper-Rayleigh scattering technique and from computations is disentangled. The validity of the simplifying two- and three- state models for the hyperpolarizability are examined.
