Synthesis and Nonlinear Optical Properties of New Quadrupolar Chromophores

Two-photon absorption (TPA) has recently received considerable attention because they offer opportunities for both fundamental research and technological applications. The potential applications, including optical data storage, two-photon photodanamic therapy and optical limiting mainly depend on the materials with large two-photon cross section (δTPA)1. Here, we reported two novel chromophores based on symmetric structure of “D-A-Core-A-D”, where D and A stand for electron-donor and e…

Synthesis and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Chromophores with 1,8-Dimethoxy-9,10-dihydroanthracene and Ring-locked Triene

The new chromophore molecules with nonlinear optical （NLO） properties were prepared by Knoevenagel condensation from 1,8-dimethoxy-4,5-diformyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene and isophorone derivative in the presence of piperidine and acetic acid. In these chromophore, the ring-locked trienes were employed as the conjugation bridge and electron acceptor in D-π-A units. The key intermediate dialdehyde was conveniently prepared via a three step reaction, in which 1,8-dimethoxyanthraquinone was reduced with zinc/acetic acid and sodium/ethanol successively, followed by formylation with 1,1-dichlorodimethyl ether in the presence of TiCI4. The solvatochromism and UV spectra indicate that they have higher second-order nonlinear hyperpolarizability μβ values than the corresponding reference compound, without red shift of the charge transfer band.

Synthesis and Characterization of Dipolar Two-Photon Absorption Chromophores

It is a new interest to explore novel organic two-photon absorption (TPA) chromophores with large TPA cross section for their potential applications in various fields, such as three-dimensional optical data storage, micro- and nano-fabrication, biological imaging and optical limiting, and so on. As far as asymmetrical D-π-A type chromophores were concerned, larger TPA cross section can be obtained with the enhancement of electron-donation/electron-acception ability.[1] Recently, we have synthesized a series of new D-π-A type compounds. In these chromophores, stilbene or phenyl cyclo-bridged hexatriene is served as π-bridge, which terminated with a number of amino groups and dicyanomethylene unit (Scheme 1). All the chromophores can be obtained by the condensation reaction of aldehydes and active methyl or methenyl groups in good yields (72%～81%). The chromophores have been characterized by 1H NMR,IR, UV-vis, PL and EA. All these five chromophores in dilute solutions show strong red fluorescence (Table 1). The studies on the TPA properties are in progress.

Synthesis and Properties of Oligo-/Polymers Based on a “Flexible” Swivel-Cruciform Structure

We have introduced the concept of the so-called swivel type cruciforms as a highly flexible tool to tune the molecular properties from amorphous to highly crystalline features. Simple alkoxy substituted binaphthyl building blocks have been introduced randomly into poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) thereby suppressing the formation of side-chain crystallization. On the other hand the all aryl penta-thiophene based cruciform exhibited strong π–π interaction between the arms and gave one of the highest values reported to date for wet processed organic field effect transistors (OFETs) utilising oligothiophenes.

Synthesis, Structure and Thermochromic Properties of a Copper(Ⅱ) Complex Based on Naphthyl Carboxylate and Benzimidazolyl Ligands

One novel copper(Ⅱ) complex, [Cu(NAA)2(bim)2]·H2O (1, HNAA = a-naphthylacetic acid, bim = benzimidazole) has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis, elemental analysis, and IR spectrum. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 1.15969(12), b = 1.9757(2), c = 1.45763(16) nm, β = 104.712(2)°, V = 3.2298(6) nm3, Z = 4, C38H32N4O5Cu, Mr = 688.22, Dc = 1.418 g/cm-3, μ = 0.729 mm-1, S = 1.039, F(000) = 1428, the final R = 0.0380 and wR = 0.0912 for 2849 unique reflections.

Interesting, reversible thermochromic properties of 1 can be observed and investigated by thermal analysis method.     

Synthesis,Photophysical and Electronic Properties of New Red-to-NIR Emitting Donor–Acceptor Pyrene Derivatives

We synthesized new pyrene derivatives with strong bis(para-methoxyphenyl)amine donors at the 2,7-positions and n-azaacene acceptors at the K-region of pyrene. The compounds possess a strong intramolecular charge transfer, leading to unusual properties such as emission in the red to NIR region (700 nm), which has not been reported before for monomeric pyrenes. Detailed photophysical studies reveal very long intrinsic lifetimes of >100 ns for the new compounds, which is typical for 2,7-substituted pyrenes but not for K-region substituted pyrenes. The incorporation of strong donors and acceptors leads to very low reduction and oxidation potentials, and spectroelectrochemical studies show that the compounds are on the borderline between localized Robin-Day class-II and delocalized Robin-Day class-III species.     

Synthesis,Structure and Photophysical Properties of a Dinuclear Copper (Ⅰ) Complex Based on Phosphinopyridine and Diphosphine Mixed-ligands

Treatment of bis(diphenylphosphino)methane(dppm)and 2-(diphenylphosphanyl)pyridine(dpppy)with Cu(CH₃CN)₄BF₄afforded a dinuclear Cu(I)complex[Cu₂(dpppy)₂(dppm)(CH₃CN)](BF₄)₂·3CH₂Cl₂(1).Complex 1 was structurally characterized by X-ray single-crystal analysis and its photophysical properties were studied in detail.It crystallizes in triclinic space group P1^-with a=13.0834(8),b=13.5568(8),c=21.8544(11)?,α=76.090(5)°,β=80.803(5)°,γ=64.582(6)°,V=3391.3(3)?³,Z=2,M_r=1507.42,D_c=1.476 g/cm³,F(000)=1532,GOOF=1.071,the final R=0.0700 for 9041 observed reflections with I>2σ(I)and wR=0.2063 for all data.The complex contains a Cu₂-core structure surrounded by one dppm and two dpppy ligands in a head-to-head arrangement.In the crystalline phase,complex 1 exhibits bright bluish-green photoluminescence(λ_max=488 nm)with high quantum yield(?=0.57)at room temperature.It is still a relatively high emission quantum yield(?=0.36)in doped PMMA thin film with 20 wt%dopant of complex 1.The emission peaks of 1 in dichloromethane solution and doped PMMA(20 wt%)thin films are 510 and 494 nm,respectively,showing a very slight bathochromic shift compared to that in crystalline phase.This phenomenon might be attributed to its rigid conformation that precludes the possible distortion of copper centers in the excited state.     

Electronic Properties of Two Series of Blue-Emitting Conjugated Oligomers and Polymers Based on Cyanostilbene： A Quantum Chemistry Study

One of the drawbacks of the electroluminescence （EL） polymers is that they are usually much better at accepting and transporting holes than electrons due to their inherent richness of π-electrons. One approach improving electron injection and transport in conjugated polymers is to incorporate moieties with high electron affinities. In this theoretical work, to gain an insight into the chemical structure-property relationships was aimed by controllable modification of the main chain structures. Two cyanovinylene derivatives with 2,7-fluorenylene and p-phenylene moieties in the main chains, namely, poly { （2,5-dimethoxy-p-phenylene- 1,4-ylene）-alt-[ 1,2-bis（p-phenylene）- 1- cyanovinylene]} （PPhCN） and poly{[9,9-dimethyl-2,7-fluorenylene]-alt-[1,2-bis（p-phenylene）-1-cyanovinylene]} （PFCN）, were studied employing density functional theory （DFT） and time dependent density functional theory （TD-DFT） with B3LYP functional. The electronic properties of the neutral molecules, extrapolated ionization potentials （IP） and electron affinities （EA）, and energy gaps were investigated in comparison with pristine poly（2,7- fluorenylene）. From comparison with poly（2,7-fluorenylene） （PF）, the 1,2-bis（p-phenylene）-1-cyanovi-nylene unit was found to be a good electron-withdrawing moiety for electronic materials and the incorporation of 1,2-bis（p- phenylene）-1-cyanovinylene resulted in a narrow band gap and a red shift of both the absorption and photoluminescence emission peaks. Most importantly, the LUMO energies of PFCN are around 1 eV lower than those of PF, which results in the decrement of EA about 0.9 eV, indicating that the 1,2-bis（p-phenylene）-1-cyanovinylene unit has significantly improved the electron-accepting properties of the copolymer PFCN. Substitution of 2,5-dimethoxy-p-phenylene for 9,9-dimethyl-2,7-fluorenylene induced larger band gaps and thus a blue-shift in absorption and emission peaks, which can be attributed to the better conjugated backbone in PFCN.

Complex 3 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 19.7534(8), b = 15.0797(5), c = 17.8097(7) ?, β = 116.400(5)°, V = 4751.8(3) ?~3, C_(56)H_(45)ClCuN_3O_4P_2, Mr = 984.88, Z = 4, Dc = 1.377 g/cm~3, F(000) = 2040, μ = 0.635 mm-1, the final R = 0.0731 and w R = 0.2180 for 4670 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). In the emission spectra, shifts of emission peak are derived from ligand-centered(π-π*) transition.     

Triarylborane-Based Helical Donor–Acceptor Compounds: Synthesis,Photophysical, and Electronic Properties

The synthesis and characterization of 10-(dimesitylboryl)-N,N-di-p-tolylbenzo[c]phenanthren-4-amine (3-B(Mes)₂-[4]helix-9-N(p-Tol)₂ 1 ) and 13-(dimesitylboryl)-N,N-di-p-tolyldibenzo[c,g]phenanthren-8-amine (3-B(Mes)₂-[5]helix-12-N(p-Tol)₂ 2 ) are reported herein. Their electrochemical and photophysical properties have been studied experimentally and theoretically. The donor and acceptor-substituted helicene derivatives exhibit moderate fluorescence quantum yields in THF (Φ_f=0.48 and 0.61 for 1 and 2 , respectively), which are higher than unsubstituted ones (Φ_f=0.18 for [4]helicene; Φ_f<0.05 for [n]helicenes (n≥5)). In the solid state, the Φ_f values are higher (Φ_f=1.00 and 0.55 for 1 and 2 , respectively) than those in solution, most likely due to the restrictions of molecular motions. The S₁←S₀ transitions of 1 and 2 are predominately HOMO→LUMO transitions. Upon excitation with UV light, the interplanar angle between the two terminal aryl rings of the [5]helix core of 2 decreases (S₁ state compared with S₀ state), which is similar to placing a spring under an external force.

Furthermore, the complex exhibits excellent thermal stability and luminescent property.
