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.

The synthesis of 5-arylazo- substituted bithiophenes and their UV-visible, solvatochromic and nonlinear optical properties (NLO) are described. In agreement with the solvatochromic data and also with the second-order molecular NLO characterization, the new donor-acceptor systems could find application as suitable solvatochromic probes and also as new NLO materials.
