Synthesis and nonlinear optical properties of novel Y-type polyimides with enhanced thermal stability of dipole alignment

2,3-Bis-(3,4-dicarboxyphenylcarboxyethoxy)-4′-nitrostilbene dianhydride (4) was prepared and reacted with 1,4-phenylenediamine, 4,4′-oxydianiline, 4,4′-diaminobenzanilide and 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)dianiline to yield novel polyimides 5-8 containing 2,3-dioxynitrostilbenyl groups as NLO-chromophores, which constituted parts of the polymer backbones. The resulting polyimides 5-8 were soluble in polar solvents such as acetone and DMF. Polymers 5-8 showed a thermal stability up to 300 °C in TGA thermograms with T_g values obtained from DSC thermograms in the range of 135-160 °C. The SHG coefficients (d₃₃) of poled polymer films at the 1064 cm⁻¹ fundamental wavelength were around 5.26 × 10⁻⁹ esu. The dipole alignment exhibited exceptionally high thermal stability even at 30 °C higher than T_g and there was no SHG decay below 170-190 °C due to the partial main chain character of polymer structure, which was acceptable for NLO device applications.     

Second harmonic generation at the interface of copper tetra-tert-butyl phthalocyanine Langmuir-Blodgett film/metal

As one of the most primitive nonlinear optical phenomena, optical second harmonic genera-tion (SHG) has been investigated for half a century and it has become a very useful spectroscopic tool in the study of surface and interface[1—3]. It was theoretically shown that the SH signal cannot be generated in a centrosymmetric system. However, the generation of SH signal from the centro-symmetric molecules such as fullerene (C60) and CuPc has been detected[4—7]. In our recent ex-periments, an …     

A 2D Acentric Coordination Polymer, [Mn(HIDA)2(H2O)2], with a Strong Second‐Order Nonlinear Optical Effect

The crystal structure of [Mn(HIDA)₂(H₂O)₂] (Tetragonal, P4¯2₁c (no.114), a = b = 8.10(2)Å, c = 9.605(3)Å, α = β = γ = 90°, Z = 2, R = 0.051, wR² = 0.123 for 460 observed reflections) consists of infinite acentric 2D square grids with HIDA^— ions as bridging ligands. The 2D grids are interlocked(along the c axis) by hydrogen bonding. The Mn atoms are octahedrally coordinated by four O atoms of four HIDA^— ions (d(Mn—O)= 2.183(4)Å ) and two O atoms of two water molecules (d(Mn—OW) = 2.154(5)Å ). The results show that this acentric coordination polymer exhibits strong powder second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency, ca. 1.9 times that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and remarkable thermal stability.     

Molecular design, synthesis and electro-optic properties of novel Y-type polyurethanes with high thermal stability of second harmonic generation

2,4-Di-2^′-hydroxyethoxy)benzylidenemalononitrile (3) was prepared and condensed with 2,4-toluenediisocyanate and 3,3^′-dimethoxy-4,4^′-biphenylenediisocyanate to yield unprecedented novel Y-type polyurethanes (4-5) containing 2,4-dioxybenzylidenemalononitrile group as a nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore, which constitutes a part of the polymer backbone. The resulting polyurethanes 4-5 were soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone and DMF. Polymers 4-5 showed a thermal stability up to 260 °C from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) giving T_g values around 143-156 °C. The approximate lengths of aligned NLO-chromophores estimated from AFM images of poled polymer films were about 10 nm. The SHG coefficients (d₃₃) of poled polymer films were around 7.4 × 10⁻⁹ esu. These Poled polymers exhibited a greater thermal stability of dipole alignment even at 10 °C higher than T_g, and no SHG decay was observed below 155 °C due to the partial main chain character of the polymer structure and extensive hydrogen bonds between urethane linkage, which is acceptable for NLO device applications.     

Hydrothermal preparation,structure and characterizations of noncentrosymmetric LiZnO(IO3)

A new lithium zinc iodate, LiZnO(IO₃), has been prepared by hydrothermal reactions at 200 °C. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment revealed that the compound crystallizes in a noncentrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Ama2 with cell parameters: a = 6.3386(6) Å, b = 11.2613(11) Å, c = 4.6840(5) Å, Z = 4. In the structure, the basic building units are the distorted ZnO₆ octahedron, LiO₄ tetrahedron and the IO₃ group. These groups are linked together to form a three-dimensional structure by sharing the oxygen atoms. The DSC measurement demonstrates that the compound is stable up to 490 °C. Powder second-harmonic generation (SHG) test shows that the SHG effect is about 2 × KH₂PO₄.     

Preparation of donor-acceptor substituted fluorostilbenes and crystal chemistry of fluorinated (E)-4-(4-halogeno-styryl)-benzonitriles

The syntheses and crystal structures of a series of fluoro-substituted halogeno (Cl, Br, I)-cyano-stilbenes containing donor and acceptor groups (D-π-A) are reported. These molecules show a tendency to form antiparallel chain-like structures and herringbone packing, crystallising predominantly in a centric space group. However, second harmonic generation measurements bear evidence for orientational disorder leading to partial polar order below the ordinary X-ray structure determination limit. Some co-crystals are isostructural with their components. The non-fluoro as well as the halogeno-fluoro substituted components of co-crystals seem to impose their crystal structure on the complementary fluoro- or cyano-fluoro substituted components. Co-crystallization enhanced the deviation from centrosymmetry.     

Growth and properties of an organometallic nonlinear optical crystal: bis(isothiocyanato)‐bis(4‐methylpyridine)zinc(II) (Zn(SCN)2(C6H7N)2)

Bis(isothiocyanato)‐bis(4‐methylpyridine)zinc(II)(Zn(SCN)₂(C₆H₇N)₂), (abbreviated as ZBNC) single crystals of optical quality have been grown from acetone solution by the slow temperature‐lowering method. Its solubilities at different temperatures in acetone were measured. The X‐ray powder diffraction (XRPD) spectroscopy of ZBNC crystal was performed at room temperature. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency was determined by powder technique of Kurtz and Perry using Nd:YAG laser, which is equivalent to KDP crystal. The thermal decomposition process was characterized by thermal gravity and differential thermal analysis (TG\DTA). The specific heat of the crystal is 1440.67 J/mol·K at 325 K. The IR spectrum was recorded in the 500∼3500 cm^–1 region, using KBr pellets on a Nicolet 170sx FT‐IR spectrometer. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Designing Silicates as Deep-UV Nonlinear Optical (NLO) Materials using Edge-Sharing Tetrahedra

Discovering new deep-ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is currently a great challenge. The reported DUV NLO materials are almost exclusively borates or phosphates. Silicates—the largest constituent of the earth's crust—are excluded owing to their weak second harmonic generation (SHG) response. We report a silicate, Li₂BaSiO₄, with edge-sharing LiO₄–SiO₄ tetrahedra that achieves the balance between a short UV absorption edge, below 190 nm, and a large SHG response, 2.8×KDP. The SHG intensity is the largest for silicates without second-order Jahn–Teller cations, and exceeds that of non-isomorphic Li₂SrSiO₄ by more than an order of magnitude. As such Li₂BaSiO₄ may be seen as a promising DUV-UV NLO material. This research indicates that edge-sharing tetrahedra is a new design parameter for discovering new DUV NLO materials.
