“…The spirobifluorene acted as a π-conjugated bridge because of the presence of the spiroconjugation effect between the electron acceptor and the donor. [94] Compared to the values in Huang et al, [90,92] molecules with dicyanomethylene and nitrophenyl groups showed TPA cross-sections www.advopticalmat.de s of 2928 and 3773 GM, respectively. The compound with the cyano group demonstrated more than an order of magnitude increase of the TPA cross-section with s = 62 949 GM.…”

“…The compound with the cyano group demonstrated more than an order of magnitude increase of the TPA cross-section with s = 62 949 GM. [94] These examples suggest promising strategies to improve the NLO properties of individual molecules (see Table 1 for a summary of the optical properties of the discussed molecules), yet optimal crystallization routes which would allow to obtain molecular crystals based on molecules with a spirobifluorene core yet have to be developed.…”

“…While excited along the crystallographic c-axis (parallel to the substrate), the SHG emitted from the DPFO microfiber in transmission gave an extremely high polarization ratio ρ = (I max − I min )/(I max + I min ) of 0.997 ± 0.02, which is higher than for most of the reported organic crystals.

Fluorenone molecular materials provide an excellent platform to engineer new materials that are very promising for photonic and optoelectronic applications, such as very efficient optical second harmonic (SHG) and terahertz (THz) generation, light emitting diodes, biomarkers, solar cells, and sensors. More recently, there have been a lot of research efforts dedicated towards the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of these fluorenone materials because of their unique combination of chemical, structural, and optical properties. This review addresses the state of the art of this very interesting and potent class of molecular materials. In particular, the NLO susceptibilities, their potential for optical SHG and THz generation and their two‐photon luminescence properties and how to optimize these by rational design are reviewed. Flexibility and easiness of modification of their molecular properties combined with their structural polymorphism enable a variety of applications. Perspectives and future research directions for these fluorenone materials are also presented.

Two new chromophores (A and B) were synthesized, in which a benzo [b]thiophene moiety was first introduced as a donor group. To investigate the macroscopic EO activity of the new chromophores, guest-host doped polymer films were fabricated by doping chromophores A and B into amorphous polycarbonate (APC). The poled films containing A with a loading density of 20 wt% achieved a maximum EO coefficient (r 33 ) of 42 pm V À1 at 1310 nm, while for the poled films containing B, the r 33 value is 75 pm V À1 at 1310 nm. UV-vis spectral absorption of the new chromophores were studied in solutions and films, and chromophores A and B showed a maximum absorption in chloroform of 658 nm and 688 nm, respectively. Compared to the FTC (r 33 ¼ 20-50 pm V À1 at 1310 nm, l max ¼ 685 nm in chloroform) analogues, they exhibited enhanced electro-optical activity together with a high optical gap.This new type of chromophore provided better optimization of the nonlinearity-transparency trade-off.

A D-A-D cationic cyclopentadienyl iron complex containing double arylazo chromophores (Fc-diazo) with methoxyl group (Fc-diazo-OMe) was obtained via nucleophilic substitution and well characterized by IR, UV-visible, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, and MS. UV-Vis absorption and nonlinear optical property of Fc-diazo-OMe were investigated by comparison of Fc-diazo with no methoxyl group (Fc-diazo-H). Quantum chemical calculations of the orbital energy, geometric structure of Fc-diazo-OMe, and Fc-diazo-H were conducted by using density functional methods at the B3PW91/Lanl2dz level. Charge transfer from the highest occupied molecular orbital to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital was found based on density functional theory. The substitution of the methoxyl group greatly improves the NLO property of Fc-diazo. Fc-diazo-OMe shows effective two-photon absorption, coefficient and third-order nonlinear susceptibility for potential applications as optical materials, while Fc-diazo-H barely shows NLO ability.
