Reactions of [Et4N][Tp*W(,3 -S)(,-S)2(CuSCN)2] with Nitrogen Donor Ligands: Syntheses, Structures, and Third-Order Nonlinear Optical Properties

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 28 2009
Zhen-Hong Wei
Abstract Reactions of the preformed cluster [Et4N][Tp*W(,3 -S)(,-S)2(CuSCN)2] (1) with pyridine (py), 4,4,-bipyridine (4,4,-bipy), or 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) led to the formation of three neutral [Tp*W(,3 -S)(,-S)2Cu2]-based compounds [Tp*W(,3 -S)(,-S)2Cu2(SCN)(py)2] (2), [{Tp*W(,3 -S)(,-S)2Cu2(SCN)}2(4,4,-bipy)]·3.5H2O (3·3.5H2O), and [Tp*W(,3 -S)(,-S)2Cu2(SCN)(bpp)]2 (4), respectively. Compounds 2,4 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, UV/Vis spectra, 1H NMR, and X-ray analysis. There are two linkage isomers [Tp*W(,3 -S)(,-S)2Cu2(SCN)(py)2] and [Tp*W(,3 -S)(,-S)2Cu2(NCS)(py)2], each of which has its own enantiomeric pair in the crystal of 2. Compound 3 has a double butterfly-shaped structure in which two [Tp*W(,3 -S)(,-S)2Cu2(SCN)] fragments are linked with a single 4,4,-bipy bridge. For 4, the two butterfly-shaped [Tp*W(,3 -S)(,-S)2Cu2(SCN)] fragments are interconnected by a pair of bpp bridges. The third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) performances of 2,4 in DMF were also investigated by Z -scan techniques.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009) [source]

Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization and Third-Order Nonlinear Optical Properties of New Azobenzene-Containing Side-Chain Polymers

MACROMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS, Issue 4 2007
Najun Li
Abstract The atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique has been successfully applied to synthesize a series of nonlinear optically (NLO) active homopolymers, 4-(4-nitrophenyl-diazenyl) phenyl acrylate (P - NPAPA) and 4-(4-methoxyphenyl-diazenyl) phenyl acrylate (P - MPAPA), containing azobenzene groups on the side chain. The third-order NLO properties of the polymer films were measured by the degenerated four-wave mixing (DFWM) technique. A dependence of the ,(3) values and response times of polymers on their number-average molecular weight and the electronic effect of the substituent (nitro- or methoxy-) on the azobenzene group have been evidenced. The increasing ,(3) value of the polymer films at the magnitude of about 10,10 was displayed with increasing molecular weight and the presence of the push-pull electronic system contributes much in enhancing the third-order NLO susceptibility of polymers.

Fabrication of Ultrathin Films with Large Third-Order Nonlinear Optical Properties

CHEMPHYSCHEM, Issue 3 2005
Li Jiang
Abstract An ultrathin composite film containing anionic Ag-His complexes (His: L -Histidine) and oppositely charged BH-PPV was fabricated by means of the electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. UV/Vis spectra showed a continuous deposition process of Ag-His complexes and BH-PPV. The film structure was characterized by using small-angle X-ray diffraction, AFM, and SEM. The nonlinear optical properties of the ultrathin film were studied by using the Z -scan technique with a laser duration of 8 ns at a wavelength of 532 nm. The film sample exhibited a strong nonlinear saturated absorption, with an ,2value of ,3.9×10,5m,W,1and a self-defocusing effect with an n2value of ,4.78×10,12m2,W,1. [source]

Polyyne synthesis using carbene/carbenoid rearrangements

THE CHEMICAL RECORD, Issue 4 2006
Wesley A. Chalifoux
Abstract Rearrangement of a carbene/carbenoid intermediate to form an acetylene moiety, known as the Fritsch,Buttenberg,Wiechell (FBW) rearrangement, was developed for the formation of polyynes and polyyne frameworks within highly conjugated organic materials. Necessary precursors can be prepared through formation of an alkynyl ketone, followed by dibromoolefination under Corey,Fuchs conditions. The carbenoid rearrangement is brought about by treatment of the dibromoolefin with BuLi under mild conditions. The success of these FBW reactions is quite solvent-dependent, and nonpolar hydrocarbon solvents (e.g., hexanes, toluene, benzene) work quite well, while use of ethereal solvents such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran (THF) does not provide the desired polyyne product. This protocol was successfully applied to the formation of silyl, alkyl, alkenyl, and aryl polyynes, including di-, tri-, and tetrayne products, as well as the construction of two-dimensional carbon-rich molecules. A one-pot variant of this procedure is being developed and is particularly applicable toward the synthesis of polyyne natural products. Formation of a series of triisopropylsilyl end-capped polyynes, from the triyne to decayne, was achieved. Third-order nonlinear optical properties of these polyynes were evaluated. This study shows that the molecular second hyperpolarizabilities for the polyynes as a function of length increase at a rate that is higher than all other nonaromatic organic oligomers. © 2006 The Japan Chemical Journal Forum and Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nonlinear optical properties of poly-ortho-toluidine films implantated by N+ ions with different energy

POLYMER COMPOSITES, Issue 10 2009
Yan Shaolin
This article reports experimental work on the effect of N+ ion implantation on third-order nonlinear optical properties of POT films. Using K2Cr2O7 as oxidizing agent, poly- ortho -toluidine (POT) was synthesized in 1 M hydrochloric. The POT films were prepared by spin-coating method and then implantated by N+ ions (15,30 KeV) at a dose 1.9 × 1016 ions/cm2. The films were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, visible spectroscopy and SEM, their third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility (,(3)) were also examined by a degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) system at 532nm. Compared to pristine POT films, the optical band gap obtained from visible spectra decreased from 3.58 to 3.48 eV when the energy was 30 KeV. Also, The ,(3) value of implantated POT films increased from 3.31 × 10,10 esu to 4.04 × 10,9 esu when the implantated energy was 25 KeV. POLYM.
