A hybrid ruthenium alkynyl/zinc porphyrin “Cross Fourchée” with large cubic NLO properties

Synthesis of porphyrin-dendrimers with a pyrene in the periphery and their cubic nonlinear optical properties.

Dendrons of pyrene derivatives were attached to a porphyrin core. A marked effect in solution for the dendrimers was observed in the absorption spectra. All the compounds obtained were characterized by (1)H-, (13)C-NMR, FTIR, UV-vis, MALDI-TOF or FAB+ mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The cubic nonlinear optical behavior of some the synthesized compounds was tested via Z-Scan measuremen...

Extended p-conjugated ruthenium zinc–porphyrin complexes with enhanced nonlinear-optical properties†

Extended π-conjugated ruthenium zinc-porphyrin complexes with enhanced nonlinear-optical properties.

Zinc porphyrin dimers and trimers, in which the porphyrins are connected via a ruthenium metal core, exhibit large third-order nonlinear optical absorption coefficients and refractive indices. These properties are a result of the presence of multiple porphyrins, which lead to an extension of the π-conjugated system and the octupolar effect.

Controlling the growth of porphyrin based nanostructures for tuning third-order NLO properties.

A series of porphyrin nanospindles with controlled long axis length distributions of 330, 550, 800 nm, and 4 μm have been successfully fabricated via hierarchical self-assembly of cationic porphyrin (H₆TPyP)(4+) with the help of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) due to the effective electrostatic interaction. These newly fabricated nanostructures are characterized by TEM and SEM...

Synthesis, spectral and redox switchable cubic NLO properties of chiral dinuclear iron cyanide/isocyanide-bridged complexes.

Two chiral dinuclear cyanide/isocyanide-bridged complexes (R)-[Cp(dppe)Fe-CN-Fe(dppp)Cp]PF6 (1[PF6]) and (R)-[Cp(dppe)Fe-NC-Fe(dppp)Cp]PF6 (2[PF6]), and their mono-oxidation products (R)-[Cp(dppe)Fe(II)-CN-Fe(III)(dppp)Cp] [PF6]2 (1[PF6]2) and (R)-[Cp(dppe)Fe(III)-NC-Fe(II)(dppp)Cp][PF6]2 (2[PF6]2) were synthesized and fully characterized. The electronic spectra of both the mixed-valence comple...
