A new class of molecular materials based on adamantane-type organotetrel chalcogenide clusters has recently attracted the attention of the scientific community due to its outstanding optical properties [1]. Depending on the composition (organic substiuents and tetrel atoms in the cluster core), these materials show either white-light generation or strong non-linear response upon IR radiation [2]. In order to determine the prerequisites for white light generation, different related clusters have been synthesized, which posses an additional ligand based on a coinage-metal atom [3]. To explore the optical response, we perform first-principles calculations within the density functional theory. Linear optical properties such as absorption and transmission are calculated based on the electronic structure for both single molecules and molecular crystals. Furthermore, the frequency dependent non-linear optical response is estimated calculating the second harmonic coefficients χSHG(2) and the photoluminescence is modeled by constrained total energy calculations.
