The synthesis of new benzothiazole push-pull systems as candidates for NLO-phores is described. Spectral (UV/VIS and solvatochromic) and theoretical studies (electronic properties based on semiempirical AM1 and PM3 methods) of the prepared compounds were carried out. The structure and physico-chemical parameters affecting the push-pull character and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) of the studied compounds have been investigated and compounds with enhanced hyperpolarizability β have been predicted. The benzothiazolium salts were found to be much more effective NLO-phores in comparison with the corresponding neutral benzothiazoles. The 4-NPh2 group is the most effective donor. The extension of conjugated bridge improves the studied NLO characteristics. An additional acceptor group bonded to the heterocycle causes a red shift of λmax but does not increase hyperpolarizability.
