A series of (aryldiazovinylidene)ruthenium complex salts of general formula has been synthesized.The Kurtz method was used to investigate their effectiveness in second harmonic generation, and revealed efficiencies up to that of a urea reference standard.An X-ray structural study of the complex exhibiting the strongest response, *CH2Cl2 revealed that the material packs centrosymmetrically, suggesting that the observed moderate bulk χ(2) responses arise from large molecular β responses and some crystal mispacking.Key words: Ruthenium; Second harmonic generation; Solvochromatic properties; Cyclopentadienyl
