The syntheses of octupolar alkynes 1,3,5-{4-(4-HC≡CC6H4-1-C≡C)-3,5-Et2C6H2-1-C≡C}3C6H3 (4) and 1,3,5-{4-(4-HC≡CC6H4-1-C≡C-4-C6H4-1-C≡C)-3,5-Et2C6H2-1-C≡C}3C6H3 (6), diphenylamino-substituted 1,3,5-(4-Ph2NC6H4-1-C≡C)3C6H3 (7), 1,3,5-(4-Ph2NC6H4-1-C≡C-4-C6H4-1-C≡C)3C6H3 (8), 1,3,5-{4-(4-Ph2NC6H4-1-C≡C-4-C6H4-1-C≡C)-3,5-Et2C6H2-1-C≡C}3C6H3 (9), and 1,3,5-{4-(4-Ph2NC6H4-1-C≡C-4-C6H4-1-C≡C-4-C6H4-1-C≡C)-3,5-Et2C6H2-1-C≡C}3C6H3 (10), and (N-heterocyclic carbene)gold-appended 1,3,5-{[(NHC-iPr)Au]C≡C}3C6H3 (11), 1,3,5-{[(NHC-iPr)Au]C≡C-4-C6H4-1-C≡C}3C6H3 (12), 1,3,5-{4-([(NHC-iPr)Au]C≡C-4-C6H4-1-C≡C)-3,5-Et2C6H2-1-C≡C}3C6H3 (13), and 1,3,5-{4-([(NHC-iPr)Au]C≡C-4-C6H4-1-C≡C-4-C6H4-1-C≡C)-3,5-Et2C6H2-1-C≡C}3C6H3 (14) [NHC-iPr = κC-cyclo-CN(2,6-C6H3iPr2)CH=CHN(2,6-C6H3iPr2)] are reported. The low-energy bands in the linear optical absorption spectra of all three sets of compounds are red-shifted and increase in intensity upon π-delocalizable ‘arm’ lengthening. The diphenylamino- and (NHC-iPr)gold-terminated compounds do not exhibit measurable second-harmonic generation as assessed by hyper-Rayleigh scattering at 1064 nm using nanosecond pulses. Computational studies have been employed to rationalize the optical properties of the new compounds. Calculations on 7–10 reveal that the lowest-energy transitions with large oscillator strengths are predominantly [Ph2NC6H4] (π) → [arms + core] (π*) in character, whereas calculations on 11–14 suggest that the low-energy transitions relate to the transfer of electron density from the Au-alkynyl core group to the terminal NHC groups.

The alkynes HC≡CC6H2-2,6-Et2-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2 (4) and HC≡CC6H4-4-C≡CC6H2-2,6-Et2-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2 (6) and gold alkynyl complexes Au{C≡CC6H2-2,5-(OEt)2-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2}(PPh3) (7), Au(C≡CC6H2-2,6-Et2-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2)(PPh3) (8), and Au(C≡CC6H4-4-C≡CC6H2-2,6-Et2-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2)(PPh3) (9) have been synthesized. The linear optical properties and quadratic optical non-linearities of 7–9 have been measured, the latter by hyper-Rayleigh scattering at 1064 nm, and compared with data for the previously reported complexes Au(C≡CC6H4-4-NO2)(PPh3) (10) and Au(C≡CC6H4-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2)(PPh3) (11). The optical absorption maximum red-shifts and the first hyperpolarizabilities increase on π-system lengthening and on introduction of electron-releasing substituents on the π-bridge ring adjacent to the metal centre. The cubic non-linear optical properties of 1,4-{(PCy3)Au(C≡C)}2C6H4 (12) and {(PCy3)Au(C≡C-4-C6H4C≡C)}6C6 (13) have been assessed by wide spectroscopic range femtosecond Z-scan studies; the maximal values of the imaginary component and the effective two-photon absorption cross-section increase markedly on proceeding from linear complex 12 to 6-fold-symmetric complex 13, an increase that is maintained when data are scaled by relative molecular weight.

AbstractThe crystal structure and non-linear optical properties of L-alaninium perrhenate, C3H8NO2+ ReO4 −, are reported. The protonated amino acid and the perrhenate anion have their usual geometries. The three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network can be seen as a stacking of layers parallel to the (100) planes. Each layer is formed by chains of alternating positive and negative ions along the b and c axes. Hydrogen bonding of adjacent layers forms alternating chains along the a axis. A high damage threshold and a second-harmonic generation efficiency three times that of KDP make this new material potentially useful in non-linear optics.

  La óptica no lineal (NLO, por sus siglas en inglés de: No Linear Optics) se ha desarrollado en los últimos años como un importante campo de investigación debido a su aplicabilidad en la fotoelectrónica y tecnología fotónica. En las últimas décadas los complejos organometálicos se han convertido en una clase de moléculas de gran interés en NLO. Estos complejos combinan las ventajas de las moléculas orgánicas con las ofrecidas por las sales inorgánicas. En este trabajo se realizó un estudio mecano-cuántico computacional de la contribución electrónica en fase gas de las propiedades ópticas del difosfaferroceno a nivel estático, empleando el método DFT CAM-B3LYP y el conjunto base 6-31+G(d,p), en conjunto con la metodología de campo finito basadas en la ecuaciones de Kurtz. Adicionalmente se realizaron cálculos para el ferroceno a modo comparativo. La comparación teoría-experimentales, muestra que la metodología empleada proporciona valores comparables, mostrando una correspondencia de 93 % para aave, y un 87 % para gave. Con respecto a las propiedades ópticas, se observa que el complejo de difosfaferroceno es mayormente polarizable que el ferroceno. Sin embargo, las mayores contribuciones se observan en las propiedades NLO, donde para b la respuesta calculada para el complejo difosfaferroceno es 72 ua, a diferencia de ferroceno el cual no presenta respuesta por ser una molécula centro simétrica. En gave, la respuesta es casi dos veces superior. Estos resultados permiten inferir que la interacción de anillos fosfolil con el átomo de Fe origina una mayor perturbación o deslocalización de la densidad electrónica de la molécula, promoviendo así elevadas respuestas ópticas cuando se aplican campos eléctricos, catalogándolo como un candidato potencial para el diseño de nuevos materiales NLO.   Palabras clave: NLO, difosfaferroceno, óptica, DFT, (hiper)polarizabilidades.   Abstract Non linear optics (NLO) has been developed in recent years as an important field of research due to its applicability in photoelectronics and photonic technology. In recent decades organometallic complexes have become a class of molecules of great interest in NLO. These complexes combine the advantages of organic molecules with the ones offered by inorganic salts. In this work, a computational quantum mechanics study of the electronic contribution in gas phase of the optical properties of diphosphaferrocene at a static level was carried out, using the CAM-B3LYP DFT Method and the 6-31+G(d,p) basic set, together with the finite field methodology based on Kurtz equations. Additionally, the ferrocene molecule was studied for comparison purposes. The theory-experimental comparison shows that the methodology used provides comparable values, showing a 93% correspondence for aave, and 87% for gave. With respect to the optical properties, it is observed that the diphosphaferrocene complex is mostly more polarizable than ferrocene. However, the greatest contributions are observed in the NLO properties, where for b, the calculated response for the diphosphaferrocene complex is 72 ua, different from, which does not respond because it is a symmetric center molecule. In gave, the answer is almost double. These results allow us to infer that the interaction of phospholyl rings with the Fe atom causes a greater perturbation or delocalization of the electronic density of the molecule, promoting high optical responses when an electric field is applied, cataloging it as a potential candidate for the design of new NLO materials.   Key words: NLO, diphosphaferrocene, optics, DFT, (hyper) polarizabilities.

In this work we investigate the solvent media effects on the nonlinear optical properties of a chalcone derivative, (2E)-3-(3-methylphenyl)-1-(4-nitrophenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (3MPNP), using the polarizable continuum model (PCM) at DFT/B3LYP/6-311+G(d) level. The behavior of the hyper-Rayleigh scattering first hyperpolarizability and the average second hyperpolarizability, are studied as function of the dielectric constant of the solvent medium in both dynamic and static cases.

The second-order nonlinear optical properties of two monomeric red fluorescent proteins, mStrawberry and mCherry, have been experimentally determined by frequency-resolved femtosecond hyper-Rayleigh scattering. These proteins were found to exhibit a stronger nonlinear response than the previously described eGFP, eYFP and DsRed,1 confirming the trend that fluorophores with a more extended conjugated system, or a lower-energy band gap between ground and excited state, exhibit a larger static hyperpolarizability (β0). Furthermore, these experimental data were complemented with quantum chemical calculations. A discrepancy was observed between experimental and theoretical results, but this could be explained by the chromophore model extracted from the available X-ray diffraction data. While eGFP showed a larger dynamic experimental response (βHRS) due to the highest resonance enhancement, we measured an even higher signal for mCherry. Furthermore, mCherry also shows a better separation of the second harmonic signal and two-photon excited fluorescent signal, making this the preferred fluorescent protein for second harmonic imaging at 800 nm so far.

The second-order nonlinear optical properties of polystyrene particles coated with two well-characterized nonlinear optical chromophores with different molecular symmetry have been studied. From the markedly different depolarization ratio for the hyper-Rayleigh scattering from the molecular scatterers and from the largely different second-harmonic intensity from particles coated with these chromophores, we conjecture that contributions from antisymmetric molecular electronic states are necessary to observe second-order nonlinear effects from centrosymmetrical particles in isotropic solution.

New push-pull second harmonic generation (SHG) chromophores 2 were synthesized in order to study their linear and nonlinear optical properties. The donor-acceptor π-conjugated systems 2 were prepared in good to excellent yields by a simple aldol-type condensation of the precursor aldehydes 1 with 6-nitro-2-methyl-1,3-benzothiazole in the presence of NaOH. Hyper-Rayleigh scattering in dioxane solutions was used to evaluate their second-order nonlinear optical properties. The experimental results showed that the optical (linear and nonlinear) properties are influenced by the electron-donor strength of the groups of the π-conjugated bridge. The vinyl-benzothiazole derivative 2b, with methoxyl as the donor group, exhibited the largest first hyperpolarizability β (1660 × 10−30 esu, 40 times greater than the standard reference pNA molecule) and the highest decomposition temperature (Td = 360 °C). The good balance between nonlinearity and thermal stability makes this compound a promising candidate as second harmonic generator (SHG) for nonlinear optics.

Inspired by a previous experimental study on the first-order hyperpolarizabilities of 1,3-thiazolium-5-thiolates mesoionic compounds using Hyper-Rayleigh scattering technique, we theoretically investigated the UV-Vis absorption spectra and every order polarizabilities of these mesoionic molecules. Based on the fact that the photophysical and nonlinear properties observed in the experiment can be perfectly replicated, our theoretical calculations explored the essential characteristics of the optical properties of the mesoionic compounds with different electron-donating groups at the level of electronic structures through various wave function analysis methods. The influence of the electron-donating ability of the donor on the optical properties of the molecules and the contribution of the mesoionic ring moiety to their optical nonlinearity are clarified, which have not been reported by any research so far. This work will help people understand the nature of optical properties of mesoionic-based molecules and provide guidance for the rational design of molecules with excellent photoelectric performance in the future.
