Sumario:The application of organic conjugated molecular systems to photocatalysis is based on the charge transition with different electronegative substituents and the electron–hole separation behavior of charge transfer under light excitation. In this work, the relationship between the intra-molecular electrical field and molecular second-order nonlinear optical properties is investigated theoretically by the sum-of-states (SOS) method. We use substituents with different electron affinity energy to construct internal electric fields with different properties in similar conjugated systems. The studies of these systems reveal the intra-molecular electric field strength and mode regulation of nonlinear optical coefficients and explain its physical mechanism. The intra-molecular charge recombination caused by the electrostatic potential multipole field of different substituents changes the transition behavior of one-photon, resulting in the enhancement of nonlinear optical properties (second-harmonic generation and sum-frequency coefficient) greater than 10<sup>4</sup>.
