Nonlinear optical responses of such metasurfaces are determined by the nonlinear optical properties of individual plasmonic meta-atoms. Unfortunately, no simple methods exist to determine the nonlinear optical properties (hyperpolarizabilities) of the meta-atoms hindering the design of nonlinear metasurfaces. Here, we develop the equivalent RLC circuit (resistor, inductor, capacitor) model of such meta-atoms to estimate their second-order nonlinear optical properties, that is, the first-order hyperpolarizability in the optical spectral range. In parallel, we extract from second-harmonic generation experiments the first-order hyperpolarizabilities of individual meta-atoms consisting of asymmetrically shaped (elongated) plasmonic nanoprisms, verified with detailed calculations using both nonlinear hydrodynamic-FDTD and nonlinear scattering theory. All three approaches, analytical, experimental, and computational, yield results that agree very well. Our empirical RLC model can thus be used as a simple tool to enable an efficient design of nonlinear plasmonic metasurfaces.A nonenzymatic kinetic resolution of sterically congested alcohols having a quaternary carbon atom in the β-position is reported. The catalyst system CuCl/NaOtBu/(R,R)-Ph-BPE together with a 3,5-xylyl-substituted tertiary hydrosilane enable enantioselective silylation of the hydroxy group. Several alcohols are obtained with good to excellent selectivity factors, and there are no other known straightforward methods to access these motifs.A Fe(OTf)3- and γ-cyclodextrin catalyzed hydroamination of alkenes with carbazoles is demonstrated.
