The electronic structures and the one- and two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of two series of the olefin-linked paracyclophane (pCp) oligomers have been studied using AM1 and ZINDO-SOS methods. The relationship between the TPA cross sections and the molecular chain length is obtained. The maximum TPA cross section increases in proportion to Nα (N denotes the number of repeat units) and the values of α depend on different molecular structures. The olefin-linked pCp oligomers, which have good transparency and large TPA cross sections, are promising candidates for TPA materials.Key words: two-photon properties, paracyclophane oligomer, AM1, ZINDO-SOS.

Two novel fluorene derivatives having cationic substituents were synthesized. Two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of the derivatives were evaluated using the fluorescence-based technique with a femtosecond pulse emitted from a Ti:sapphire laser. Maximum TPA cross-sections of the compounds were estimated from the TPA spectra. Based on the results, the relationship between the TPA cross-sections and the substituent effects of the derivatives were discussed.

The one-photon absorption (OPA) properties of tetrabenzoporphyrins (TBPs) and phthalocyanines (Pcs) were studied using the semiempirical ZINDO method and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), respectively. The compared results confirmed that the semiempirical ZINDO method was reasonably reliable when calculating the OPA of tetrabenzoporphyrins and phthalocyanines. On the basis of the OPA properties obtained from the ZINDO method, two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of two series of molecules were investigated, using ZINDO and sum-over-states (SOS) methods. The results showed that the TPA cross-sections of all molecules were in the range of 220.6 × 10–50 – 345.9 × 10–50 cm4·s·photon–1, which were in the same order of magnitude as the values reported in the literature. The relatively larger δ(ω) value for Pcs with respect to that for corresponding TBPs originates from larger intramolecular charge transfer, which can be characterized by the difference of dipole moment between S0 and S1 and the transition dipole moment between S1 and S5.Key words: two-photon absorption, ZINDO, sum-over-states, tetrabenzoporphyrin, phthalocyanines.

In this paper, the nonlinear absorption properties of two complexes consisting of Ru(C≡CPh)(C≡C)(dppe)2 (dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) as electron donor (D) and 4,7-di(2-thienyl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole as electron acceptor (A) units in two different arrangement, i.e., A–D–A and D–A–D, are presented. They were measured in solution by the femtosecond open-aperture Z-scan method. The complexes show moderate two-photon absorption cross-sections σ(2) of several hundred to one thousand GM (here 1 GM = 10−50 cm4 s molecule−1 photon−1). Although they are formed by the same building units, it was found that the two-photon absorption values of the D–A–D arrangement are six times higher than that of the A–D–A one. This difference can be explained by the number of metal cores (one or two ruthenium centers), the geometrical configurations of the complexes (more or less planar), and the resonance enhancement by lowering the intermediate state.

ABSTRACTWe present a theory of two-photon absorption in solutions which addresses the formation of spectral shapes taking account of the vibrational degrees of freedom. The theory is used to rationalize observed differences between spectral shapes of one- and two-photon absorption. We elaborate on two underlying causes, one trivial and one non-trivial, behind these differences. The first refers simply to the fact that the set of excited electronic states constituting the spectra will have different relative cross sections for one-and two- photon absorption. The second reason is that the two-step and coherent two-photon absorption processes are competing, making the one-and two-photon spectral bands different even considering a single final state. The theory is applied to the N-101 molecule [di-phenyl-amino-nitro-stilbene] which was recently studied experimentally in the paper [ T.-C. Lin, G.S. He, P.N. Prasad, and L.-S. Tan, J. Mater. Chem., 14, 982, 2004.]

Bis-(diphenylamino)diphenylpolyenes form exceptionally stable, highly absorbing, bipolaronic charge states when oxidatively doped in solution, even at the stilbene level. These chromophores also display exceptionally large two-photon absorption cross-sections for ns laser pulses. 1,2-Bis-(diphenylamino)-E-stilbene moieties have now been incorporated into 3-arm and four-arm dendrimer structures as formal repeat units. These new G-0 model dendrimers also form exceptionally stable, highly-absorbing bipolaronic charge states when oxidized in solution. As such these new materials are attractive candidates for various photonic applications which depend on the fast photogeneration of highly absorbing transient states. In the current study we have demonstrated that such states can indeed be photogenerated from the model dendrimers in solution in the presence of efficient electron acceptors, such as C 60. In order to follow both the generation and decay of these excited state transient species, new spectroscopic techniques have been developed that have unique capabilities for examining transient state formation and subsequent dynamics.
