We investigate the effects of solvents on the geometry, absorption spectrum, and first hyperpolarizability of six push-pull molecules, each containing a 4,5-dicyanoimidazole group as an electron acceptor and a N,N-dimethylamino group as an electron donor, with systematically extended π-conjugated systems. Geometry optimizations in dichloromethane, methanol, water, and formamide under normal thermodynamic conditions were performed using the average solvent electrostatic configuration-free energy gradient method, which employs a discrete solvent model. The conformational structure of molecules is moderately affected by the environment, with the π-conjugated system becoming more planar in protic solvents.
