Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Novel Multi-branched Oligomers

We investigate the fluorene-vinylene unit dependent photo-physical properties of multi-branched truxene based oligomers (Tr-OFV_n, n=1-4) employing steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy, transient absorption spectroscopy, two-photon fluorescence, and z-scan technique. The results show that the increasing of fluorene-vinylene unit leads to a red-shift in the spectra of absorption and fluorescence, and shortens the excited state lifetime. Meanwhile, two-photon fluorescence efficiency and two-photon absorption cross section of truxene based oligomers gradually enhance in company with the extension of π-conjugated length. In addition, the values of two-photon absorption cross section modeled on the sum-over-state approach agree well with the experimental ones. The results indicate multi-branched truxene based oligomers bearing oligo(fluorene-vinylene) arms are promisingorganic materials for two-photon applications.

Key Electronic,Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Designed Disubstituted Quinoline with Carbazole Compounds

Organic materials development, especially in terms of nonlinear optical (NLO) performance, has become progressively more significant owing to their rising and promising applications in potential photonic devices. Organic moieties such as carbazole and quinoline play a vital role in charge transfer applications in optoelectronics. This study reports and characterizes the donor–acceptor–donor–π–acceptor (D–A–D–π–A) configured novel designed compounds, namely, Q3D1–Q3D3, Q4D1–Q1D2, and Q5D1. We further analyze the structure–property relationship between the quinoline–carbazole compounds for which density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level to obtain the optimized geometries, natural bonding orbital (NBO), NLO analysis, electronic properties, and absorption spectra of all mentioned compounds. The computed values of λ_max, 364, 360, and 361 nm for Q3, Q4, and Q5 show good agreement of their experimental values: 349, 347, and 323 nm, respectively. The designed compounds (Q3D1–Q5D1) exhibited a smaller energy gap with a maximum redshift than the reference molecules (Q3–Q5), which govern their promising NLO behavior. The NBO evaluation revealed that the extended hyperconjugation stabilizes these systems and caused a promising NLO response. The dipole polarizabilities and hyperpolarizability (β) values of Q3D1–Q3D3, Q4D1-Q1D2, and Q5D1 exceed those of the reference Q3, Q4, and Q5 molecules. These data suggest that the NLO active compounds, Q3D1–Q3D3, Q4D1–Q1D2, and Q5D1, may find their place in future hi-tech optical devices.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Phenylene-vinylene Based Chromophores for Singlet Oxygen Generation

A series of symmetrical and unsymmetrical phenylene-vinylene （PV） based chro- mophores with the molecular configuration of donor-π-donor （D-g-D） were prepared and characterized. Iodine was first introduced into the Jr-conjugation backbone of the PV based chromophores in order to study the heavy atom effect on their linear absorption, two-photon absorption （TPA） properties, as well as singlet oxygen generation properties. TPA cross-sections of these chromophores were investigated by using the two-photon excited fluorescence method. The unsymmetrical chromophores were found to have larger TPA cross-section values compared to their symmetrical counterparts. For one of the unsymmetrical chromophores with the iodine incorporation, a large TPA cross section value with quenched emission was found. The decreased fluorescence quantum yield of a molecule can be ascribed to the increased intersystem crossing, which is favorable for enhancing the singlet oxygen generation. Therefore, the unsymmetrical PV based chromophores with heavy atom incorporation are promising singlet oxygen sensitizers for the photodynamic therapy application.     

Tunable Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties from Room Temperature Phosphorescent Cyclic Triimidazole-Pyrene Bio-Probe

Organic materials with multiple emissions tunable by external stimuli represent a great challenge. TTPyr, crystallizing in different polymorphs, shows a very rich photophyisics comprising excitation-dependent fluorescence and phosphorescence at ambient conditions, and mechanochromic and thermochromic behavior. Transformation among the different species has been followed by thermal and X-ray diffraction analyses and the emissive features interpreted through structural results and DFT/TDDFT calculations. Particularly intriguing is the polymorph TTPyr(HT), serendipitously obtained at high temperature but stable also at room temperature, whose non-centrosymmetric structure guarantees an SHG efficiency 10 times higher than that of standard urea. Its crystal packing, where only the TT units are strongly rigidified by π-π stacking interactions while the Pyr moieties possess partial conformational freedom, is responsible for the observed dual fluorescence. The potentialities of TTPyr for bioimaging have been successfully established.

Relation between Polymer Conformational Structure and Dynamics in Linear and Ring Polyethylene Blends

Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of ring‐linear polyethylene blends are employed to understand the relationship between chain conformational structure and the melt dynamics of these blends. As observed in previous studies, this study confirms that ring polymers in pure melts do not exhibit screened excluded volume interactions, contrary to linear polymers. Moreover, the average molecular shapes of the rings are quite distinct from both swollen and ideal ring polymers under theta conditions, and instead rather resemble branched polymers with screened binary excluded volume interactions, e.g., percolation clusters. Upon adding linear chains to a melt of pure rings, we find significant swelling of the rings and a corresponding shape change that is qualitatively similar to dissolving rings in a small molecule good solvent. This swelling, arising from altered self‐excluded volume interactions, translates into a large decrease in ring diffusivity, an effect that becomes more amplified when the polymer melt is entangled.     

Diradical Character Tuning for the Third‐Order Nonlinear Optical Properties of Quinoidal Oligothiophenes by Introducing Thiophene‐S,S‐dioxide Rings

To create a design guideline for efficient third‐order nonlinear optical (NLO) molecules, the chain‐length (n) dependences of the diradical character y and the longitudinal second hyperpolarizability γ of quinoidal oligothiophenes (QTs), from monomers to octamers, involving thiophene‐S,S‐dioxide rings are investigated by using the density functional theory method. It turns out that the diradical character of the modified QTs is reduced as compared to those of the pristine QTs. By introducing an appropriate number of oxidized rings into the QT framework, intermediate y values can be achieved even in the systems with large values of n, in which the pristine QTs are predicted to have pure diradical character. Such intermediate diradical oligomers are shown to exhibit enhanced γ values as compared to the pristine QTs with the same value for n. From the calculation results, the introduction of the optimal number of thiophene‐S,S‐dioxide rings is predicted to be an efficient chemical modification for optimizing the third‐order NLO properties of open‐shell QTs through tuning the diradical characters.

Multichromophoric Calix[4]arenes: Effect of Interchromophore Distances on Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties

Multichromophoric calix[4]arenes with two or four disperse red one (DR1) moieties linked to the lower rim have been synthesized. The second‐order nonlinear optical activity was measured by using the electric‐field‐induced second‐harmonic generation technique and there was a nearly linear increase of the μβ value with the number of chromophores in the molecule without affecting the charge‐transfer absorption wavelength. The effect that the number of DR1 units plays on the hyperpolarizability, the dipole moment, and the absorption maxima has been also studied by using quantum chemical calculations. It was found that it was necessary to synthesize multichromophores with distant chromophores to obtain large nonlinear optical responses.
