Abstract: The geometrical structures of symmetric 2,4-squaraine compounds have been optimized by using DFT-B3LYP/6-31G(d). On the basis of them, electronic absorption spectra of the compounds were investigated with TD-DFT and second-order hyperpolarizability γ were calculated by means of finite field (FF) method by introducing an external electronic filed. It is shown from the calculation that the borazine is a donor, different from benzene. Charge population, FMO and NLO properties change distinctly with change of the the atom linked to squaraine. To increase the γ value of a donor group, the atom linked to other group must be Natom. The best value of γ in the symmetric squaraine derivatives linked with borazine can reach 2.3808×10-24C·m.
