Abstract: The title compound, trans-4-[ p-( N-ethyl-N-(hydroxyethyl ) amino) styryl ]-N-methylpyridiniumtetraphenylborate (abbreviated as ESMT, C46H49N4O) crystallizes in a space group P1 with a= 0.983 23 (15)nm, b=1.410 73(16) nm, c=1.54 21(12) nm, a=95.252(13)°, β=91.959(17)°, γ= 107.421(12)°, Z=2, F(000)=712, μ= 0.1 mm-1 Mo Ka radiation, R=0. 093 8. The result shows that the cation of themolecule almost lies in one plane, the hydroxyethyl group is perpendicular to the plane, the anion takes a slightdistorted tetrahedral geometry. Also the thermal stability, two-photon fluorescence, two-photon pumped lasingproperty for the title compound were studied.
