ABSTRACTSelf-assembled molecular architechtures of nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores and their super-chromophores are discussed. The chromophores are derivatives of azobenzene sulfonates and the super chromophores are derivatives of calix[4]stilbazole and calix[4]stilbazolium. The studies of azobenzene sulfonates are aimed at understanding the surface coverage and molecular orientation in polar self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The optimized molecular orientation was found to be 32±3 degree and the maximum surface coverage is approximately 2–4 molecules per nm2 depending on the molecular cross-section. The calixarene chromophores are macrocyclic compounds consisting of four simple D-π-A units bridged by methylene groups. These molecules were synthesized such that four D-π-A units of the calix[4]arene were aligned along the same direction with the calixarene in a cone conformation. Both simple and super-chromophores were subsequently fabricated into covalently bound selfassembled monolayers on the surfaces of fused silica and silicon. Spectroscopic second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements were carried out to determine the absolute value of the dominant element of the second-order nonlinear susceptibility, d33 = 60 pm/V at a fundamental wavelength of 890 nm. Furthermore, SHG imaging was employed to investigate the pattemed SAMs of NLO super chromophores.

The zinc and magnesium metalated derivatives of 5,5′-[12,12′-di(thiododecyloxy)-4,4′-phenyl)]-10,10′,15,15′,20,20′-hexakis(3,3′,4,4′,5,5′-hexakisdecyloxyphenyl)diporphyrin, 1b and 1c, have been synthesised and deposited to form self-assembled monolayer (SAM) films on the surface of gold-coated glass substrates. The SAM films have been characterized by RAIR spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. The potential for the porphyrin films to catalyze the oxidation of tryptophan within human serum albumin upon irradiation with white light has been demonstrated and attributed to the porphyrins acting as photosensitizers of oxygen to form oxidizing species.

The novel palladium metalated derivatives of 5,5′-[8,8′-di(thiooctyloxy)-4,4′-phenyl)]-10,10′,15,15′,20,20′-hexakis(4,4′-t-butylphenyl)diporphyrin and 5,5′-[8,8′-di(thiooctyloxy)-4,4′-phenyl)]- 10,10′,15,15′,20,20′-hexakis(3,3′,4,4′,5,5′-hexakisdecyloxyphenyl)diporphyrin, 1 and 2 respectively, have been synthesized and deposited to form self-assembled monolayer (SAM) films on gold-coated glass slides that served as substrates. The SAM films have been characterised by RAIR spectroscopy. Excitation of the molecules within the films has been achieved using the evanescent field arising when the glass substrate was used as a waveguide. Luminescence spectroscopy detected both fluorescence and phosphorescence emission from the SAM films under an argon atmosphere. Quenching of the phosphorescence emission by dioxygen was investigated for both films. Greater reproducibility of data was achieved from the SAM films of compound 2. The phosphorescence quenching from these films followed the Stern–Volmer relationship.
