Solvents play an important role in shaping the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) properties of π-conjugated molecules, which in turn can affect their one-photon absorption (OPA) and two-photon absorption (TPA) as well as the static (hyper)polarizabilities. Here, we study the effect of solvent and donor-acceptor arrangement on linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) response properties of two novel ICT-based fluorescent sensors, one consisting of hemicyanine and dimethylaniline as electron withdrawing and donating groups (molecule 1), respectively and its boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY, molecule 2)-fused counterpart (molecule 3). Density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations using long-range corrected CAM-B3LYP and M06-2X functionals, suitable for studying properties of ICT molecules, are employed to calculate the desired properties. The dipole moment (µ) as well as the total first hyperpolarizability (β<sub>total</sub>) of the studied molecules in the gas phase is dominantly dictated by the component in the direction of charge transfer. The ratios of vector component of first hyperpolarizability (β<sub>vec</sub>) to β<sub>total</sub> also reveal unidirectional charge transfer process. The properties of the medium significantly affect the OPA, hyperpolarizability and TPA properties of the studied molecules. Time dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations suggest interchanging between two lowest excited states of molecule 3 from the gas phase to salvation. The direction of charge polarization and dominant transitions among molecular orbitals involved in the OPA and TPA processes are studied. The results presented are expected to be useful in tuning the NLO response of many ICT-based chromophores, especially those with BODIPY acceptors.<br>

A series of new chromophores, styryl-parent end-capped with various donors, and with barbituric acid, methyl-pyridinium, and methyl-quinolinium as the acceptors, have been synthesized and characterized by element analysis or X-ray diffraction. Using the Z-scan system, their two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-section values (δ) have been determined under excitation with 10 Hz, and 1064 nm, 35 ps mode-locked Nd:YAG laser pulse in DMF with do= 0.05 M. The effective δ value is as high as 10.9 × 10–48 cm4 s per photon for trans-4-(4'-N,N-diphenyl amino) styryl-N-methyl quinolinium iodide (DPASQI). The δ value increases from barbituric acid- to pyridinium- to quinolinium-derivatives apparently due to the increase in both the conjugated degree and planarity; however, when the acceptor is fixed, the δ value increases from dialkyl amino groups to diphenyl amino groups even though the latter is a weaker donor than the dialkyl amino groups. Theoretical calculations confirm that the increased distortion from planarity for the barbituric acid derivative makes its δ value decrease. The relatively large δ value for quinolinium- or pyridinium-derivatives originates from larger intramolecular charge transfer, which can be characterized by the difference of dipole moment (Δµge) between the S0 and S1, and the transition dipole moment (Mee') between S1 and S2.Key words: two-photon absorption, intramolecular charge transfer, styryl-quinolinium, styryl-pyridinium, styryl-barbituric acid.
