Functionalized Ruthenium Dialkynyl Complexes with High Second-Order Nonlinear Optical Properties and Good Potential as Dye Sensitizers for Solar Cells
摘要:
Various dipolar p-delocalized Ru(II) dialkynyl complexes were prepared and characterized. Their second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were investigated by the electric-field-induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) technique working in CH2Cl2 solution with an incident wavelength of 1907 nm, whereas the dipole moments were determined by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. All the investigated complexes are characterized by a negative value of mu beta 1.907 EFISH, in agreement with a negative value of Delta mu eg (difference of the dipole moment in the excited and ground state) upon excitation. Their second-order NLO response can be easily modulated by the nature of the alkynyl substituents. Besides, the most promising pushpull ruthenium diacetylide complex, adequately functionalized for anchoring to TiO2, was tested as photosensitizer in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).

Absorption and fluorescenceproperties of silyl‐substituted stilbenes were investigated. The derivative in which four Me3Si groups were introduced at the ortho positions did not fluoresce at room temperature. The para bis‐Me3SiC≡C‐substituted analog has a high fluorescence quantum yield (0.95). The stilbene containing Ph2N and Me3SiC≡C groups exhibited solvatofluorochromism while maintaining a good
