Theoretical Studies on One-photon and Two-photon Absorption Properties of Pyrene-core Derivatives

The analytic response theory at density functional theory level is applied to investigate one-photon and two-photon absorption properties of a series of recently synthesized pyrene-core derivatives. The theoretical results show that there are a few charge-transfer states for each compound in the lower energy region. The one-photon absorption properties of the five investigated compounds are highly consistent with those given by experimental measure-ments. The two-photon absorption intensities of the compounds are greatly enhanced with the increments of the molecular sizes, in which the two-photon absorption cross section of the four-branched compound is about 5.6 times of that of the mono-branched molecule. Further-more, it is shown that the two-photon absorption properties are sensitive to the geometrical arrangements.

Anthrathiadiazole Derivatives: Synthesis,Physical Properties and Two-photon Absorption

Anthrathiadiazole is a key synthon for the construction of large azaacenes, however, the attachment of different substituents onto the skeleton of anthrathiadiazole is difficult but highly desirable because it could be easy to enrich the structures of azaacenes. Here, it is demonstrated that anthrathiadiazole derivatives with −Br, −CN, and −OCH₃ groups could be easily constructed through a simple [4+2] cycloaddition reaction between a,a,a’,a’-tetrabromo-o-xylenes derivatives and benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole-4,7-dione. The structures of the as-prepared compounds with different substituents were carefully characterized. Moreover, the basic physical properties of the as-prepared anthrathiadiazole derivatives were fully investigated, where the cyano-substituted derivative (BTH - CN) has the highest stability and the methoxy-substituted derivative ( BTH - OCH₃) is easy to be oxidized. Moreover, the two-photon absorption (TPA) characteristics of different anthrathiadiazoles are also studied by using the femtosecond Z-scan technique. The results show that the fused anthrathiadiazole skeletons possess large TPA cross-section values δ₂ in the range of 3000–5000 GM, where the nature, position and strength of the substituted groups have strong effect on these values.

Femtosecond Spectroscopy and Nonlinear Optical Properties of aza-BODIPY Derivatives in Solution

The fast relaxation processes in the excited electronic states of functionalized aza-boron-dipyrromethene (aza-BODIPY) derivatives ( 1 – 4 ) were investigated in liquid media at room temperature, including the linear photophysical, photochemical, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. Optical gain was revealed for nonfluorescent derivatives 3 and 4 in the near infrared (NIR) spectral range under femtosecond excitation. The values of two-photon absorption (2PA) and excited-state absorption (ESA) cross-sections were obtained for 1–4 in dichloromethane using femtosecond Z-scans, and the role of bromine substituents in the molecular structures of 2 and 4 is discussed. The nature of the excited states involved in electronic transitions of these dyes was investigated using quantum-chemical TD-DFT calculations, and the obtained spectral parameters are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data. Significant 2PA (maxima cross-sections ∼2000 GM), and large ESA cross-sections ∼10⁻²⁰ m² of these new aza-BODIPY derivatives 1–4 along with their measured high photostability reveal their potential for photonic applications in general and optical limiting in particular.

Theoretical Studies on Electronic Spectra and Second-order Nonlinear Optical Properties of Glucosyl Substituted Barbituric Acid Derivatives

AMI semi-empirical method was used to optimize the barbituric acid derivatives substituted with glucosyl B1-5 （series B）, and the thiobarbituric acid derivatives substituted with glucosyl T1-5 （series T）. Based on the optimized structures, INDO/CI method was adopted to calculate the electronic spectra. Meanwhile, the second-order nonlinear optical （NLO） coefficients βμ were calculated with the sum-over-state （SOS） formula. The results show that when the number of glucosyl units was increased, ｜βμ｜ values of the barbituric and thiobarbituric acid derivatives were both enhanced, especially for thiobarbituric acid derivatives. It indicates that non-conjugated substituted group could also improve NLO properties of materials when the number of repeated units was increased. Additionally, the absorption bands appearing in UV area are consistent with the proper change of the number of glucosyl units, and consequently it can be concluded that the high transparencies of all systems were scarcely varied.
