Synthesis,structure and nonlinear optical properties of two novel two-photon absorption chromophores

Two triphenylamine-based derivatives that can be used as two-photon absorption chromophore,tris{4-[4-(3-trifluoromethyl-3-oxopanoyl)]phenyl}amine (1) and tris{4-[4-(3-phenyl-3-oxopanoyl)] phenyl} amine (2) were successfully synthesized and fully characterized by elemental analysis,IR,1H NMR and MS. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the molecules possess D-(π-A)3 structures. One-and two-photon absorption and fluorescence in various solvents were experimentally investigated. A data rec...     

Nonlinear optical properties of novel H-shaped chromophores

Novel and effective H-shaped chromophores were doped into polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to form guest-host polymer thin films.The measurement results of Maker fringe method show that the polymer thin films containing the H-shaped chromophores as a guest exhibit high second harmonic coefficients (d33) compared with other two-dimensional chromophores.

Specific Induced Circular Dichroism and Enhanced B to Z Transitions of Duplexes Stabilized by Chromophore‐Linked Alkynylnucleoside Residues

We have developed an induced circular dichroism (ICD) probe with a chromophore‐linked alkynyldeoxyribose skeleton for analyzing higher‐order structures of DNA duplexes in the visible‐light region. When CG‐repeated oligonucleotides (ODNs) with the probe at their 5′ ends adopted Z‐form duplexes at a high NaCl concentration, strong ICD signals were observed at the absorptive region of the chromophore. On the other hand, their B‐form duplexes, formed at a low NaCl concentration, produced a faint ICD signal. The specific ICD for the Z‐form duplexes was found to appear only when the chromophores were attached at the 5′ ends of each of the ODNs. Furthermore, the chromophoric alkynylnucleoside residues effectively promoted the B to Z transition of the ODN.     

Retinal in bacteriorhodopsin and related molecular models investigated with Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations

A first‐principles assisted study of the Raman spectrum associated with the photoactive chromophore in bacteriorhodopsin (bR) allowed the elucidation of the effective coupling existing between the π electrons of the retinylidene chromophore and the local environment of the Schiff base. The role of the counter‐ion on the electronic and vibrational structure of the chromophore is investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Several molecular models of the retinylidene chromophore interacting with different counter‐ions facing the Schiff base have been considered. The counter‐ion induces a strong modulation of the position of both the UV–vis absorption maximum and the strong Raman active collective CC stretching mode, related to the effective conjugation coordinate (ECC). Experimental Raman and UV–vis absorption data are interpreted in the light of these theoretical findings. The data collected in this paper provide an interesting accumulation of points along the optical gap versus ECC wavenumber relationship. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Convergent approach to the maduropeptin chromophore: aryl ether formation of (R)-3-aryl-3-hydroxypropanamide and cyclization of macrolactam

Efficient enantioselective syntheses of the functionalized phenol and diethynylcyclopentene moiety of the maduropeptin chromophore were achieved. Their CsF-mediated coupling yielded a sterically congested aryl propargyl ether. The subsequent intramolecular Sonogashira coupling reaction between the vinyl iodide and diethynyl groups occurred at the appropriate position to yield a macrolactam, which was accompanied by Pd-mediated enyne-yne benzannulation.     

Main-chain,syndioregic, high-glass transition temperature polymer for nonlinear optics: Synthesis and characterization

A new main-chain syndioregic (head-to-head) NLO polymer was synthesized. The glass transition temperature of high molecular weight polymer was found to be 208°C, and the polymer has minimal weight loss at temperatures to at least 250°C owing to the incorporation of hydrogen bonding moieties and rigid bridging groups. The polymer was further characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The study of the nonlinear optical properties of this polymer are in progress. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
