Benzotristhiazole based chromophores for nonlinear optics
摘要:
Methylation of unsymmetrical trimethylbenzotristhiazole with various reagents has been studied in details. The structure of obtained 2,3,5,8-tetramethylbisthiazolo[4,5-e;5,4-g]-1,3-benzothiazolium iodide has been proved by X-ray analysis in accord with the quantum-chemical calculations at DFT-B3LYP level. The electron-withdrawing tetramethylbenzotristhiazolium building block was submitted to Knoevenagel reaction with aromatic aldehydes containing an electron-releasing group. This led to a series of condensation products with push-pull structure. Relations between structure, linear (UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra) and nonlinear optical properties (calculated frontier orbital energy gap, BLA index, hyperpolarizabilities beta and gamma have been investigated.

Unsymmetrical Benzotristhiazole: A New Electron-Withdrawing Core for Octupolar Chromophores
A six‐step synthesis of the unsymmetrical trimethylbenzotristhiazole has been developed. Starting from 2‐methylbenzothiazole following nitration, reduction, acetylation, thionation, and twofold cyclization, the desired trimethylbenzotristhiazole was obtained in good yield. Its condensation with donor‐substituted benzaldehydes presents the way to newoctupolarchromophores. The attempt to synthesize
