Amphiphilic nonlinear optical bis-chromophores and their mixtures with amphotropic copolymers: Preparation of monolayers and Langmuir - Blodgett multilayers

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00102a017

A new type of bis-chromophores containing two successive, covalently linked, nonlinear optical (NLO) dyes has been synthesized. For their preparation, α-cyanocinnamates or dinitrophenylhydrazones have been combined with an 4′-alkoxybiphenyl-4-carboxylate
