Second harmonic generation in ferrocene based hydrogen bonded assemblies
摘要:
Supramolecular assemblies formed by electron donors and acceptors might possess very large optical nonlinearity, even larger than the sum of the constituents if they form noncentrosymmetric networks. To probe this hypothesis we have functionalized barbituric acid, by condensing it with ferrocene carboxaldehyde to give 1, a hydrogen bond donor-acceptor-donor (H-DAD). This molecule complements the hydrogen bond donor acceptor sites of 2,6-diaminopyridine (2) which is a hydrogen bond acceptor-donor-acceptor (H-ADA). 2,6-Diaminopyridine was further functionalized with acetyl ferrocene to give 3, which forms complexes with 1. Complex formation was studied using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The second order nonlinear optical (NLO) response of these hydrogen bonded assemblies has been probed by hyper Rayleigh scattering (HRS) measurements and was found to be maximum when I was mixed with five equivalents of 3. A plausible explanation for the formation of 1:5 complex was given on the basis of control experiments with 4, a methylated analog of 1, and the addition of a strong hydrogen bond acceptor solvent, methanol.

The condensation reactions of formylferrocene with active methylene-containing compounds were achieved by microwave irradiation, grinding or heating in water, in moderate to good yields. The structures were confirmed by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, IR spectra, and elemental analyses.

The formation and quadratic nonlinearity of a multiple hydrogen-bonded 1:1 supramolecular complex 1.2 between the 2,6-diaminopyridine-based Lambda-shaped molecule, 1, and ferrocenyl barbituric acid, 2, in solution have been investigated by the hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) and NMR techniques. A 6-fold increase in the molecular hyperpolarizability (beta) of the complex 1.2 over the sum of the molecular hyperpolarizabilities of the components 1 and 2 is seen. Such a significant enhancement in beta is attributed to the alignment of the molecular dipoles of 1 and 2 in the 2D plane leading to the creation of a large dipole moment in the plane of the supramolecular complex. Depolarized HRS experiments led to the determination of the in-plane polarization components of beta of the supramolecular complex 1.2. The component of beta in the direction of the dipole moment is large. This investigation exemplifies the role of multiple hydrogen bonds in stabilizing a 2D supramolecular architecture leading to a large enhancement of molecular nonlinearity.
