Vibrational spectra and non linear optical proprieties of L-histidine oxalate: DFT studies

This paper presents the results of our calculations on the geometric parameters, vibrational spectra and hyperpolarizability of a nonlinear optical material L-histidine oxalate. Due to the lack of sufficiently precise information on geometric structure in literature, theoretical calculations were preceded by re-determination of the crystal X-ray structure. Single crystal of L-histidine oxalate has been growing by slow evaporation of an aqueous solution at room temperature. The compound crystallizes in the non-Centro symmetric space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) of orthorhombic system. The FT-IR and Raman spectra of L-histidine oxalate were recorded and analyzed. The vibrational wave numbers were examined theoretical with the aid of Gaussian98 package of programs using the DFT//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. The data obtained from vibrational wave number calculations are used to assign vibrational bands obtained in IR and Raman spectroscopy of the studied compound. The geometrical parameters of the title compound are in agreement with the values of similar structures. To investigate microscopic second order non-linear optical NLO behaviour of the examined complex, the electric dipole μ(tot), the polarizability α(tot) and the hyperpolarizability β(tot) were computed using DFT//B3LYP/6-31G(d) method. According to our calculation, the title compound exhibits non-zero β(tot) value revealing microscopic second order NLO behaviour.     

Theoretical and experimental investigation of the second hyperpolarizabilities of methyl orange

We describe experimental and theoretical studies of the third-order nonlinear optical coefficients of methyl orange solutions under different pH conditions. A combination of semiempirical and ab initio methods was adopted to investigate the most stable geometrical structures possible for this molecule. The experimental data obtained using the Z-scan technique for the third-order nonlinear optical properties of this compound has allowed the determination of the nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient under picosecond excitation in the visible (532 nm) spectral region. From those experimental results, the second hyperpolarizability of methyl orange was inferred both for acidic and alkaline solutions. Comparison of these values to the results predicted by semiempirical methods suggests that even at low pH, when the probability of cis-trans isomerization is increased, the trans conformation of the methyl orange molecule should dominate the nonlinear spectra of this compound. The theoretical results were used as an auxiliary tool to identify possible trends on the nonlinear properties changes as a function of the distinct molecular conformations adopted by the methyl orange molecule under different pH conditions.     

Diode effect caused by sequence of benzothiazole on optical properties

In this work, two kinds of benzothiazole derivatives were synthesized. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of the benzothiazole derivatives in minimal curative dose (DCM) were analyzed using the Z-scan measurement at 532 nm with a 120 fs pulse laser. The largest third-order nonlinear susceptibility (χ⁽³⁾) and second-order hyperpolarizability of the complexes (γ) were estimated at 1.4 × 10^?13 esu and 0.86 × 10^?30 esu, respectively. The results showed that the sequence of 2- and 6-position in benzothiazole has served as a “diode,” linking to the other groups that had great influence on the optical properties such as fluorescence and nonlinear optical absorption, and the increase of the polarity and the extension of the conjugate structure had benefits to the third-order nonlinearity. The experimental findings were confirmed with the use of DFT, TDDFT, and ZINDO calculations.
