First hyperpolarizabilities of 1,3,5-tricyanobenzene derivatives: origin of larger beta values for the octupoles than for the dipoles.

A series of donor-acceptor substituted stilbene and diphenylacetylene derivatives and their octupolar analogues have been synthesized and the linear and nonlinear optical properties (beta) studied by both experiments and theoretical calculation. The lambda(max) of the dipoles increases with the conjugation length and is always larger when the C=C bond is used, instead of the C[triple bond]C bond, as the conjugation bridge. Although the lambda(max) values of the octupoles show no clear trend, they are much larger than those of the dipoles. The beta(0) values of the dipoles increase with conjugation length and as the conjugation bridge is changed from the C[triple bond]C to C=C bond. This increase is accompanied by an increase in either lambda(max) or the oscillator strength. Similarly, the beta(0) values of the octupoles increase with the conjugation length and with a change in the donor in the order: NEt2 < N(i-amyl)Ph < NPh2. Moreover, beta(yyy)/beta(zzz) ratios are in the range of 1.6-3.9 and decrease with the conjugation length. Beta values calculated by the finite-field and sum-over-states methods are in good agreement with the experimental data. Also, there is a parallel relationship between the calculated beta values and bond length alternation (BLA). From these results, the origin of the larger beta values for octupoles than for dipoles is assessed.

Two-photon absorption properties of 2,6-bis(styryl)anthracene derivatives: effects of donor-acceptor substituents and the pi center.

A series of 2,6- and 2,7-bis(styryl)anthracene derivatives with the donors at the styryl group and acceptors at the 9,10-positions have been synthesized, and their two-photon cross sections (Phidelta(max)) were determined. These compounds exhibit a peak two-photon absorptivity (delta(max)) in the range of 700-2500 GM at 780-1030 nm. Values of lambda(max) and Stokes shifts increase as the acceptor is changed to a stronger one. There is also a parallel increase in lambda(2)max and delta(max) with the same variation of the chromophore structure. Both lambda (2)(max)and Phidelta(max) have been optimized by introducing donor-substituted styryl groups at the 2,6-positions and p-cyanophenyl groups at the 9,10-positions, respectively. The effect of a pi center on the two-photon absorption properties has been assessed by comparing the existing data for a variety of D-pi-D derivatives.

Two-photon sensor for metal ions derived from azacrown ether.

A two-photon sensor for the metal ions derived from azacrown ether as the receptor is reported. The sensor emits strong two-photon fluorescence when excited by 800 nm laser photons. Moreover, the binding constants measured by the one- and two-photon fluorescence are similar. This result may be useful for the design of efficient two-photon fluorescence probes for biological substrates.

Triphenylamine derivatives with large two-photon cross-sections.

[structure: see text] Triphenylamine derivatives have been synthesized and shown to exhibit large two-photon cross-sections at a wide range of wavelengths and the largest value measured by fs Z-scan experiment. Moreover, a linear relationship is noted between the two-photon cross-sections measured by ns fluorescence and fs Z-scan methods.
