Selected Organometallic Compounds for Third Order Nonlinear Optical Application

Abstract

In this paper, we present the third harmonic generation response of Znq2 (Bis-(8-hydroxyquinolinato)zinc), Cuq2 (8-Hydroxyquinoline copper(II)), and Alq3 (Tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum) organometallic compounds. An experiment was conducted for s and p polarizations of incident beam, using the Maker fringes technique. The third order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) was estimated using the Kubodera and Kobayashi comparative model, on the grounds that presented compounds exhibit high linear absorption of the generated third harmonic wavelength (355 nm). These complexes were deposited as thin films using the physical vapor deposition (PVD) method. Investigated complexes vary in terms of the coordination center and number of quinoline ligands, which visibly influence their nonlinear response. The global hybrid B3LYP functional with the basis set 6-31G(d) was used in computing the linear and non-linear optical properties. The computed γtot value (8765.36 × 10−36 esu for Cuq2) is superior to that of methylene blue (γ = 32.00 × 10−36 esu). The calculated theoretical values were found to be in good agreement with the experimental results.

A long-chain based bromo and methyl substituted chalcone derivatives; experimental and theoretical approach on nonlinear optical single crystals

“…It is noted that the value of c 3 ( ) is reasonably larger than that for small conjugation based organic molecular system [50,66,67] but two-fold magnitude order greater than those for inorganic materials [68,69]. Furthermore, results are comparable with organic/ organometallic based thin films and dyes materials [70][71][72][73].…”

Syntheses and crystal structures of new aurate salts of adenine or guanine nucleobases

“…Organometallic nitrogenous base materials play an important role in many applications, including catalysis (Verma et al, 2010), detection (Wu & Lai, 2016), nonlinear optics (Popczyk et al, 2019), MOFs for CO 2 capture , drug delivery (Nguyen et al, 2011) and imaging (Zhou et al, 2017). It is well known that metal atoms interacting with the nucleobases of DNA and RNA may change the hydrogen bonds and cause oxidation of DNA, affecting the formation of the double helix and causing point mutations (Shamsi & Kraatz, 2013;Payus et al, 2016).…”
