    Klick und passt: Dendrimere der vierten und fünften Generation (siehe Struktur) mit 30 bzw. 62 Azobenzol-Chromophoreinheiten sind in befriedigenden Ausbeuten durch eine Kombination aus divergenter und konvergenter Synthese zugänglich. Die Sharpless-Klickreaktion spielt dabei eine zentrale Rolle. [source]


    Second-Order Nonlinear Optical Properties of Tetraaza-Coordinated Nickel(II) Complexes

    Abstract In this contribution, we report the design and theoretical analysis, using the INDO/SCI-SOS quantum chemical formalism, of novel molecular architectures based on planar [N4]-, (2-aminobenzylideneiminato)- and tetraazamacrocycle-coordinated nickel(II) complexes, having second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. Calculations indicate that these molecules possess comparable, or even larger, second-order nonlinearity to the bis(salicylaldiminato)NiII Schiff-base analogues. The nonlinearity of substituted complexes is dominated by the nature and position of substituents on the tribenzo[b,f,l] and/or cyclotetradecine rings, and is determined by the relative directions of the ground- and excited-state dipole moments. Moreover, substitution with acceptor groups in the dibenzo[b,l] rings involves a significant octupolar contribution to optical nonlinearity. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Synthesis of nonlinear optical polyimides containing azodiamine derivative chromophores and their electrooptic and thermal properties

    JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 14 2002

    Abstract Some thermally stable second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) polyimides were synthesized. The polyimides were prepared by the ring-opening polyaddition of 4,4,-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride and pyromellitic dianhydride with two aromatic azodiamine derivatives as the NLO chromophores. These chromophores, based on a nitro group connected with azobenzene as the acceptor end of a donor,,-bridge,acceptor chromophore and a diamine group as the donor end, had specific chemical stability. On the basis of ZERNER'S INDO methods, according to the sum-over-states formula, a program for the calculation of nonlinear second-order optical susceptibilities was devised. The resulting polyimides had high number-average and weight-average molecular weights of up to 26,000 and 53,500, respectively, and a large glass-transition temperature of 248 °C. With an in situ poling and temperature ramping technique, the optimal temperatures (Topt's) for corona poling were obtained for the largest second-order NLO response. The electrooptic coefficient (,33) of a polyimide at a wavelength of 830 nm was up to 21 pm/V after corona poling under its Topt, and the value remained at elevated temperatures (>90.6% was retained at 240 °C for >120 h). The thermal stability of the NLO polyimides was studied with UV spectrometry after poling of the films. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 40: 2478,2486, 2002 [source]


    Observing Second-Order Nonlinear Optical Properties by Symmetry Breaking in Centrosymmetric Furan-Containing Oligoaryl Cyclophandienes

    CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 47 2009
    Hsin-Chieh Lin Dr.
    Abstract Centrosymmetric furan-containing cyclophandienes 3 and 4, synthesized by our furan annulation protocol, have been shown to exhibit extraordinarily large Stokes shifts and second-order nonlinear optical , values. The , values for 3 and 4 measured at 1.32,,m are 208 and 530×10,30,esu, respectively. The , values of 3 and 4 are similar to those of respective cyclophenes 1,a and 7 in which strong hyperpoarizable interactions between two twisted ,-systems (oligoaryl and bridging double bond) might take place. Symmetry breaking due to the resonance contribution (cf. 2) and the unique structural features of 3 and 4 has been used to account for this unusual photophysical behavior. [source]
