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).

Platinum (II) terdentate or bidentate complexes with non-linear optical properties are provided. The complexes have a broadband spectral and temporal response, and strong reverse saturable absorption and two-photon absorption in the visible and the near-IR region. As such, the complexes are useful for organic light-emitting diodes and optical-switching or sensing devices.

Boron-Containing Two-Photon-Absorbing Chromophores. 3. One- and Two-Photon Photophysical Properties of <i>p</i>-Carborane-Containing Fluorescent Bioprobes
molecules, potentially useful in two-photon excited microscopy (TPEM) and boron neutron capture therapy. They are based on a one-dimensional conjugated system containing a p-carborane entity at one end of the molecule and various electron-donating groups containing oxygen or nitrogen atoms at the other end. We investigated their one- and two-photonphotophysicalproperties. They showed efficient fluorescence
