ABSTRACTTo develop novel polypeptide-based thin films, a series of star polypeptides modified with nonlinear optical chromophores has been synthesized. Using amino-substituted tetraphenyl porphyrin as an initiator, the N-carboxy anhydride of γ-benzyl L-glutamic acid was polymerized onto the porphyrin at a monomer to initiator ratio 20:1. The resulting four-branch star was modified with a selection of dyes. Dyes that modified both the N-terminus and benzyl side chain were used. We demonstrated feasibility of insertion of a metal ion into the polypeptide porphyrin core. The polypeptide series was characterized by UV/VIS, FTIR, and CD. The UV/VIS data suggested ease of modification of both the N-terminus and side chains. The FTLR and CD data show the resulting polypeptides were ∝-helical. The results demonstrate the feasibility of modifying the optical properties of a porphyrin by three approaches: insertion of metal, attachment of dye to N-terminus or modification of γ-benzyl L-glutamate side chain.

ABSTRACTA new synthetic method is developed to incorporate efficient nonlinear optical chromophores containing thiophene conjugating units and tricyanovinyl acceptors into side-chain polymers. This approach emphasizes the incorporation of the tricyanovinyl groups into the pendant side chains after the desired polymer is formed.

ABSTRACTThe photobleaching mechanism of nonlinear optical polymers has been investigated; the PMMA based polymers with nonlinear optical chromophores, 4-dimethylamino-4'-nitro-stilbene (DANS), 4-dimethylamino-4'-hexylsulfone-stilbene (DASS), and 4'-(2-hexyloxyethyl) ethyl amino-4-nitro azobenzene (DR-16). The photobleaching was carried out using near-UV lines. FTIR spectra and UV-VIS absorption spectra were obtained after each photobleaching. Refractive indices were measured in the photobleaching processes. The results suggest that the photobleaching mechanism of two PMMA based side-chain polymers with DANS and DASS chromophores results from the photo-oxidation and that of the PMMA based host-guest polymer with DR-16 chromophore results from the combination of the photo-degradation and the trans-cis conformational transformation.
