ABSTRACTThe objective of this investigation was to develop stable nonlinear optical (NLO) Materials which possess both second and third order NLO properties. These Materials were envisioned as having a polydiacetylene (PDA) backbone with a second order active NLO chromophoric substituent consisting of a donor group, a π-conjugated bridge, and an acceptor group. The choice of a PDA backbone in this investigation was twofold. In terms of third order NLO properties, the extensive π-conjugation of the PDA backbone leads to large ultrafast third order effects. In terms of second order NLO properties, the high thermal stability and rigidity of the PDA Matrix in a perfect polymeric single crystal is expected to prevent the randomization of the NLO chromophores in the noncentrosymmetric environment. This paper focuses on the synthesis and NLO properties of the unsymmetrical diacetylene Monomers, ((9-Butoxy carbonyl) Methyl urethanyl) -l- (4-urethanyl-4'-nitrobiphenyl) -nona-2,4-diyne, and ((9-Butoxy carbonyl) Methyl urethanyl) -l- (4-urethanyl-4'-nitroazobenzene) -nona-2,4-diyne. The high entropy flexible urethanyl side group was chosen to satisfy the monomer packing requirements for polymerization and enhance the solubility of the PDAs.

We have designed and synthesized a new chromophore having a 1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidine fused furan ring as the electron donor group to systematically investigate the role of the benzo[b]furan ring in NLO chromophores.

The synthesis of 5-arylazo- substituted bithiophenes and their UV-visible, solvatochromic and nonlinear optical properties (NLO) are described. In agreement with the solvatochromic data and also with the second-order molecular NLO characterization, the new donor-acceptor systems could find application as suitable solvatochromic probes and also as new NLO materials.

The second-order non-linear optical (NLO) response of organoimido-substituted hexamolybdates has been tuned from 218.61 × 10–30 to 490.10 × 10–30 esu. The dipole polarizabilities and second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of organoimido derivatives of hexamolybdates have been investigated by using the time-dependent density functional response theory (TDDFT). The electron withdrawing ability of F (fluorine) has played an important role in tuning the second-order NLO response in this class of organic-inorganic hybrid compounds; particularly system 6 [Mo6O18(NC16H8F2(CF3)2I)]2– with the static second-order polarizability (βvec ) computed to be 490.10 × 10–30 esu. Thus, our studied systems have the feasibility to be excellent tuneable second-order NLO materials. The analysis of the major contributions to the βvec value suggests that the charge transfer (CT) from POM to organic ligand (D-A) along the z-axis has been enhanced with addition of F atoms at the end phenyl ring which directs head (POM) to tail (fluorinated ring) charge transfer. The computed βvec values have been tuned by incorporation of different halogen atoms at the end phenyl ring of organoimido segment. Furthermore, substitution of two trifluoromethyl (–CF3) groups sideways along with iodine (I) at the terminus of end phenyl ring in the organoimido ligand has a striking influence on tuning the optical non-linearity, as CT from POM to the organoimido ligand was significantly increased. These systematic small changes in molecular composition by substitution of different halogen groups leads to a tuning the NLO response; the so-called ‘ripple effect’ catches this point nicely. Thus, the present investigation provides thought provoking insight into the tuneable NLO properties of organoimido-substituted hexamolybdates.
