Although most third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are closed-shell singlet systems, this Letter theoretically shows that the NLO properties drastically enhanced in symmetric open-shell diradical systems with intermediate character and further reveals enhancement is associated ferromagnetic antiferromagnetic interactions. This new paradigm opens up a promising area for designing materials.
