Two-photon absorption and effective broadband optical power limiting properties of a multi-branched chromophore containing 2,3-diarylquinoxalinyl moieties as the electron-pulling units

A novel multi-branched chromophore containing 2,3-diarylquinoxalinyl units as the electron-acceptors had been synthesized and its nonlinear optical properties were characterized in the femtosecond and nanosecond regime. The experimental results show that the studied fluorophore possesses strong and wide-dispersed two-photon absorption in near infrared (NIR) region. It is demonstrated that the incorporation of 2,3-disubstituted quinoxaline moieties as a part of π-conjugation in a dye molecule could be a useful approach toward large molecular two-photon absoptivities within the studied spectral region. Effective optical-power-attenuation behaviors in the nanosecond time domain of this compound were also investigated and the results indicate that such dye molecule can be a potential material as a broadband and quick-responsive optical limiter especially when against those laser lights with longer pulses.     

Experimental and theoretical study of two-photon absorption in nitrofuran derivatives: Promising compounds for photochemotherapy

We report experimental and theoretical studies of the two-photon absorption spectrum of two nitrofuran derivatives: nitrofurantoine, (1-(5-nitro-2-furfurilideneamine)-hidantoine) and quinifuryl, 2-(5(')-nitro-2(')-furanyl)ethenyl-4-{N-[4(')-(N,N-diethylamino)-1(')-methylbutyl]carbamoyl} quinoline. Both molecules are representative of a family of 5-nitrofuran-ethenyl-quinoline drugs that have been demonstrated to display high toxicity to various species of transformed cells in the dark. We determine the two-photon absorption cross-section for both compounds, from 560 to 880 nm, which present peak values of 64 GM for quinifuryl and 20 GM for nitrofurantoine (1 GM = 1×10(-50)cm(4).s.photon(-1)). Besides, theoretical calculations employing the linear and quadratic response functions were carried out at the density functional theory level to aid the interpretations of the experimental results. The theoretical results yielded oscillator strengths, two-photon transition probabilities, and transition energies, which are in good agreement with the experimental data. A higher number of allowed electronic transitions was identified for quinifuryl in comparison to nitrofurantoine by the theoretical calculations. Due to the planar structure of both compounds, the differences in the two-photon absorption cross-section values are a consequence of their distinct conjugation lengths.     

Two-photon absorption and first nonlinear optical properties of ionic octupolar molecules: structure-function relationships and solvent effects

We present a quantum-chemical analysis of the two-photon absorption properties and first hyperpolarizabilities of a series of ionic octupolar molecules and a comparison of their characteristics with corresponding neutral molecules. The molecular geometries are obtained via BL3YP/6-31G (d,p) level optimization including the SCRF/PCM approach, while the dynamic NLO and two-photon absorption properties are calculated with the ZINDO/CV method including solvent effects. The effects of donor or acceptor substitution and elongation of the conjugation path length are established to demonstrate the engineering guidelines for enhancing two-photon absorption cross section and molecular optical nonlinearities. It is found that the chain length dependence of the two-photon absorption and the first nonlinearity follow the same trend, displaying a saturation limit at n = 5. The solvent induced effect on the two-photon absorption and NLO properties are studied using the ZINDO/CV/SCRF method. It has been observed that two-photon absorption and the first nonlinearity peaks at epsilon approximately = 20 and then decreases slightly, approaching saturation. We also compare our theoretical findings with the experimental results wherever available in the literature.     

两种吩噻嗪衍生物的合成，光学性质及其电化学性质

The synthesis, luminescence and electrochemical properties of two novel phenothiazine derivatives were presented, which exhibit good one-photon fluorescence emission. The quantum yields and solvent effects of them were studied in detail.

Two-photon initiated polymerization microfabrication experiments were carried out. X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that the shape of the compound 3,7-bis（2-pyrid-4＇-ylmethylidenehydrazonoethyl）-（0-ethylphenothiazine） （4） looks like a butterfly with nearly planar wings. The dihedral angle of the two benzene rings is 37.6° and there is an obvious π-π stacking interaction between the molecules in the crystal.

One- and two-photon absorption of three-coordinate compounds with different centers (B,Al,N) and a 2,2'-dipyridylnitrogen functional group

A series of three-coordinate octupolar compounds with varied centers (boron, aluminum, and nitrogen), which exhibit very large effective two-photon absorption cross sections have been theoretically studied. The ground state geometries and electronic structures are obtained using the density functional theory with the B3LYP functional and 6-31G(d) basis set, and the results are comparable to the available experimental determinations. Based on the correct geometrical and electronic structures, the one- and two-photon absorptions are predicted by the ZINDO-SOS method. Among these compounds, the boron (B) and aluminum (Al) centers act as acceptors, while the nitrogen center acts as donor according to the net charge changes during the excitation. It is found that (i) the compounds with boron and aluminum centers show two large two-photon absorption peaks, while the molecule with nitrogen center show only one two-photon absorption peak; (ii) the cross sections of the molecules with B or Al as centers are larger than that of the molecule with nitrogen as center; furthermore, the two-photon absorption cross section of the molecule with Al center is larger than that of the molecule with B center, from this point of view, our theoretical prediction provides for the experiment a good new candidate with large two-photon absorption cross section for further research; (iii) lengthening the conjugation bridge by inserting a benzene ring on the organoborane compounds (forming the investigated molecule B-2) enhances the two-photon absorption cross section, and keeping good transparency at the same time.     

Molecular electrostatic potential for exploring π-conjugation: a density-functional investigation

Molecular electrostatic potentials (MESP) of the most common building blocks of organic π-conjugated systems, viz. ethylene, acetylene, benzene, furan, pyrrole, thiophene and phenylvinylene, are examined at the B3LYP/6-311++G(2d,2p) level. The topography of MESP is employed for mapping the strength of electronic conjugation between these building blocks. When electron-rich molecular regions are connected to each other, the MESP value of the corresponding conjugation critical point (CCP) is able to provide a quantitative measure of the strength of the conjugation. The systems with stronger conjugation are generally seen to possess a larger negative value of CCP and a smaller difference (ΔV(CM-CCP)) between the MESP values of respective conjugated minimum (CM) and the CCP, in agreement with the experimental as well as other theoretical results. The present MESP topography-based approach thus offers a measure of the quantitative strength of π-conjugation in molecules.     

Theoretical study of two-photon absorption properties of a series of ferrocene-based chromophores

The electronic structures, one-photon absorption (OPA), and two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of a series of ferrocene-based chromophores with TCF-type acceptors (TCF = 2-dicyanomethylene-3-cyano-4-methyl-2,5-dihydrofuran) have been studied by using the ZINDO-SOS method. The results have revealed that OPA and TPA of ferrocenyl derivatives are affected by the strength of the acceptor, especially the pi-bridge conjugation length. The TPA cross section increases with increasing acceptor strength and pi-bridge conjugation length. The TCF-type acceptor with a phenyl group can lead to a larger TPA cross section. Quadrupole molecules have the largest TPA cross sections (2000-3000 GM), which are about 4 times that of the corresponding dipolar molecules, indicating larger interactions between the top and bottom branches. Finally, the origins of the two-photon excitations for ferrocenyl derivatives are analyzed. The calculations show that ferrocenyl derivatives with TCF-type acceptors (especially quadrupole molecules) are promising candidates for TPA materials.     

A high molar extinction coefficient mono-anthracenyl bipyridyl heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complex: synthesis, photophysical and electrochemical properties

In our quest to develop good materials as photosensitizers for photovoltaic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), cis-dithiocyanato-4-(2,3-dimethylacrylic acid)-2,2'-bipyridyl-4-(9-anthracenyl-(2,3-dimethylacrylic)-2,2'-bipyridyl ruthenium(II) complex, a high molar extinction coefficient charge transfer sensitizer, was designed, synthesized and characterized by spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques. Earlier studies on heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complex analogues containing functionalized oligo-anthracenyl phenanthroline ligands have been reported and documented. Based on a general linear correlation between increase in the length of π-conjugation bond and the molar extinction coefficients, herein, we report the photophysical and electrochemical properties of a Ru(II) bipyridyl complex analogue with a single functionalized anthracenyl unit. Interestingly, the complex shows better broad and intense metal-to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) band absorption with higher molar extinction coefficient (λ(max) = 518 nm, e = 44900 M?1 cm?1), and appreciable photoluminescence spanning the visible region than those containing higher anthracenyl units. It was shown that molar absorption coefficient of the complexes may not be solely depended on the extended π-conjugation but are reduced by molecular aggregation in the molecules.
