Abstract: Using quantum chemistry ab initio HF and semiempirical ZINDO-SOS methods, electronic spectrum and third-order nonlinear optical coefficients of pyrazine and its derivatives were systematically investigated. The results indicate that with the increase of conjugated chain length, the maximum wavelength and nonlinear optical coefficients increase while the energy gap of the frontier molecular orbital decreases. And the substituent effects were also discussed. If a typical electron-acceptor group such as _NO2 was introduced into the molecule, owing to the conjugation influence on the system with N and O atoms, the third order nonlinear optical coefficients are larger than the molecule substituted by an electron-donor group such as _NH2.
