Isophorone- and pyran-containing NLO-chromophores: a comparative study
摘要:
A series of merocyanines containing isophorone or pyran rings in the spacer have been synthesized. For a given pair of donor and acceptor groups, the isophorone derivatives show higher second-order optical nonlinearities, but lower thermal stabilities. The first NLO-chromophores endowed with a dihydropyran fragment in the spacer have also been prepared and studied. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
