We developed a new method for synthesizing atomically monodisperse Au15 nanoclusters stabilized with glutathione molecules, and investigated their nonlinear optical (NLO) properties after two-photon absorption.

A donor–acceptor type π-expanded diketopyrrolopyrrole behaves as non-centrosymmetric as far as linear optical properties are concerned but as ‘pseudo-symmetric’ for two-photon absorption.

Three novel asymmetrical D-π-D′ type sulfur-containing chromophores, (E)-4-(4-(benzylthio)styryl)-N,N-diethylbenzenamine (S1), (E)-4-(4-(tert-butylthio)styryl)-N,N-diethylbenzenamine (S2) and (E)-4-(4-(thio)styryl)-N,N-diethylbenzenamine (S3), were synthesized and characterized. Two kinds of substituents and hydrogen were introduced into the three different chromophores to investigate the influence of electron distribution on the sulfur atom. Meanwhile, a simple synthetic strategy of π-conjugated 4-(thio)styrene derivatives was performanced successfully. Linear and non-linear optical properties of S1, S2 and S3 were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The optical properties indicate that they all have obvious characteristics of asymmetrical dipole molecules. The measured maximum two-photon cross-sections of S1–3 are 79, 57 and 19 GM (Goeppert-Mayer), respectively. It shows that the different substituents on the sulfur atom in molecules S1–3 lead to different electronic structures, which affect the optical properties. In these structures, the aromatic benzyl substituent (in S1) is superior for optimizing two-photon activity in the designed molecular framework.

The alkynes HC≡CC6H2-2,6-Et2-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2 (4) and HC≡CC6H4-4-C≡CC6H2-2,6-Et2-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2 (6) and gold alkynyl complexes Au{C≡CC6H2-2,5-(OEt)2-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2}(PPh3) (7), Au(C≡CC6H2-2,6-Et2-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2)(PPh3) (8), and Au(C≡CC6H4-4-C≡CC6H2-2,6-Et2-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2)(PPh3) (9) have been synthesized. The linear optical properties and quadratic optical non-linearities of 7–9 have been measured, the latter by hyper-Rayleigh scattering at 1064 nm, and compared with data for the previously reported complexes Au(C≡CC6H4-4-NO2)(PPh3) (10) and Au(C≡CC6H4-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2)(PPh3) (11). The optical absorption maximum red-shifts and the first hyperpolarizabilities increase on π-system lengthening and on introduction of electron-releasing substituents on the π-bridge ring adjacent to the metal centre. The cubic non-linear optical properties of 1,4-{(PCy3)Au(C≡C)}2C6H4 (12) and {(PCy3)Au(C≡C-4-C6H4C≡C)}6C6 (13) have been assessed by wide spectroscopic range femtosecond Z-scan studies; the maximal values of the imaginary component and the effective two-photon absorption cross-section increase markedly on proceeding from linear complex 12 to 6-fold-symmetric complex 13, an increase that is maintained when data are scaled by relative molecular weight.
