A series of nonlinear optical chromophores with the strong electron-withdrawing tricyanopyrroline (TCP) acceptor and rigid-flexible dendron was synthesized and their thermal and optical properties were investigated. Modification of the TCP chromophore with rigid-flexible dendron groups provides reduction of dipole–dipole interactions and thus great improvement of the macroscopic electro-optic (EO) response of the polymeric materials obtained by incorporating these derivatives as a guest in a high Tg amorphous polycarbonate (APC). The best result was obtained with chromophore Lj-Dr1, with three rigid-flexible dendrons, which shows the largest EO activity (39 pm V−1 at 1,310 nm). Furthermore, all chromophores in this study possess good processability and exhibit high thermal decomposition temperatures (highest T d = 300 °C).
我们合成了一系列具有强电子吸收性的三氰基吡咯啉(TCP)受体和刚柔树枝状基团的非线性光学发色团,并研究了它们的热学和光学特性。用刚柔性树枝状基团修饰 TCP 发色团可减少偶极-偶极相互作用,从而大大改善了将这些衍生物作为客体加入高 Tg 无定形聚碳酸酯(APC)中所得到的聚合物材料的宏观电光(EO)响应。发色团 Lj-Dr1 的效果最好,它具有三个刚柔相济的树枝,显示出最大的 EO 活性(在 1,310 nm 波长下为 39 pm V-1)。此外,本研究中的所有发色团都具有良好的加工性,并表现出较高的热分解温度(最高 T d = 300 ℃ )。
