These Li-doped pentacene systems exhibit large adsorption energies(ca. 107.0--141.3 kJ/mol) and considerable first hyperpolarizabilities(even up to 4.1×10^4 a.u.), where the number of Li atoms, the doping site, and the distance between the neighboring Li atoms have important impacts on the flo value.
