Synthesis, fluorescence, and two-photon absorption of a series of elongated rodlike and banana-shaped quadrupolar fluorophores: A comprehensive study of structure-property relationships
An extensive series of push-push and pull-pull derivatives was prepared from the symmetrical functionalization of an ambivalent core with conjugated rods made from arylene-vinylene or arylene-ethynylene building blocks, bearing different acceptor or donor
Nonlinear Optical Epoxy Polymers with Polar Tolan Chromophores
A variety of optically nonlinear tolan chromophores and epoxy based polymers containing them have been prepared and studied.The molecular hyperpolarizabilities of the dye chromophores have been measured by the EFISH technique while the polymers containing
