Ionic liquids (ILs) have gained lot of interest in recent years for use as solvents in organic transformation/polymerization reaction. However, gaining control over ambient temperature polymerization would expand the utility...

A simple and inexpensive method on ultrafast and recyclable photoRDRP (in the absence of any conventional pho-toinitiators or dye sensitizers) in ionic liquid is developed, yielding low dispersity poly(glycidyl methacrylate)...

The aim of this work is to demonstrate the possibility of using propellane in designing a molecule that can absorb in three different wavelength regions and their nonlinear optical (NLO) activity can be fine-tuned by varying the three wings. We considered 22 tailor-made propellane derivatives consisting of phenyl, naphthyl, and biphenyl wings for this purpose. Using the state-of-the-art linear and quadratic response methods within TD-DFT and RI-CC2 theories and a suitable generalized few-state model that quantifies the effect of orientation of different transition moments on NLO properties, we discussed how and why the linear and nonlinear optical activity of propellane vary when the three wings are assembled successively to construct a full-propellane.
