A series of complexes trans ‐[FMo(N=NCHL)(dppe) 2 ][BF 4 ] {L = (bi)thienyl or arylthienyl}, were synthesized and fully characterized by 1 H, 13 C, 31 P NMR, IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. The electronic spectra and electrochemical behavior of the complexes were investigated. The electronic absorption spectra of these complexes display a broad low‐energy band in the visible region attributable to metal‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer (MLCT) transitions. The electron‐conjugated effect with the heterocyclic nucleus led to a notable improvement of visible light absorption and marked changes in the electrochemical behavior. The hyperpolarizabilities β of the synthesized compounds were evaluated using the hyper‐Rayleigh scattering technique.
