DFT B3LYP method was employed to calculate the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) responses of the derivatives of disubstituted seven-vertex cobaltacarborane metallocenyl. The results show that cobaltacarborane metallocenyl plays a pushing/pulling role and a bridge role to transfer electron in these molecules. The five-membered ring of cyclopentadiene is more beneficial to increase second-order NLO response than the five-membered ring composed of two C atoms and three B atoms in cobaltacarborane. Moreover, the second-order NLO response is more powerful when one substituent containing electron donor group and one substituent containing electron acceptor group are located at meta position. Accordingly, among the nine models, model c2 is the optimum model with largest value of βtot. The calculation results also show that cobaltacarborane metallocenyl and ferrocene parts play the same roles to increase second-order NLO response. Thus, cobaltacarborane metallocenyl can be a promising second-order NLO material.

To investigate the microscopic second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) behavior of the 1-salicylidene-3-thio-semicarbazone Schiff base compound, the electric dipole moments (μ), linear static polarizabilities (α) and first static hyperpolarizabilites (β) have been calculated using finite field second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation (FF MP2) theory. The ab-initio results on (hyper)polarizabilities show that the investigated molecule might have microscopic NLO properties with non-zero values. To understand the NLO behavior in the context of molecular orbital structure, we have also examined the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and the HOMO-LUMO gap in the same theoretical framework as the (hyper)polarizability calculations. In addition to the NLO properties, the electronic transition spectra have been computed using a semi-empirical method (ZINDO). ZINDO calculation results show that the electronic transition wavelengths have been estimated to be shorter than 400 nm.

ABSTRACTIonically self-assembled monolayer (ISAM) films have been shown to spontaneously produce noncentrosymmetric ordering that gives rise to a substantial second order nonlinear optical (NLO) response. Typically, the ISAM films for NLO response are an assemblage of bilayers of oppositely charged polymers whose thickness can be controlled through variation of pH and ionic strength of the immersion solutions. Here, we investigate the effects of replacing the NLO-active polymer layers with layers of monomeric chromophores containing ionic and covalent bonding sites. Films fabricated exclusively using polyelectrolytes contain some fraction of both randomly oriented and anti-parallel oriented chromophores. We have examined the incorporation of monomeric chromophores into ISAM films in order to increase the net polar orientation of the chromophores and reduce bilayer thickness.

ABSTRACTIonically self-assembled monolayers have been recently shown to spontaneously produce the noncentrosymmetric ordering that is required for a second order nonlinear optical (NLO) response. The precise thickness of each monolayer is determined by variables such as the pH and ionic strength of the immersion solutions. We show here that the relationship between polymer conformation and layer thickness dramatically affects the magnitude of the NLO response. The largest χ(2) values are found in the thinnest films, indicating that the NLO response is determined primarily by chromophores located at the layer interfaces, as opposed to those within the bulk of a layer.

ABSTRACTThe synthesis and first hyperpolarizabilities (β) of various donor-acceptor substituted thiophene containing compounds with extended conjugation are reported. Results indicate that replacing phenyl rings with less aromatic thiophene moieties enhances the second-order hyperpolarizability. Incorporating the acceptor group, N,N' diethylthiobarbituric acid, that can gain aromaticity upon charge-separation has also led to an increase in the nonlinearity. Some of the molecules have been incorporated into poIy (Methyl Methacrylate) and the electro-optic coefficients of these host-guest polymers were Measured.

Typically, the ISAM films for NLO response are an assemblage of bilayers of oppositely charged polymers whose thickness can be controlled through variation of pH and ionic strength of the immersion solutions. Here, we study the effects of replacing the NLO-active polymer layers with layers of dianionic molecules. Films fabricated exclusively using polyelectrolytes contain some fraction of both randomly oriented and anti-parallel oriented chromophores. The incorporation of dianionic molecules within the ISAM films affords greater χ(2) due to increased net polar orientation of the chromophores.
