Dithiacyclophanes incorporating thieno[2,3-b]thiophene have been synthesized, in order to investigate the nonlinear optical properties of donor-acceptor cyclophane 7. Cyclophane 7 displayed significantly higher first hyperpolarizability β (21.6 × 10-30 esu) compared to model 10 (9.58 × 10-30esu). Relatively higher β in 7 presumably arises from an extra electron redistribution arising from through-space charge transfer, a feature lacking in 10. Moreover, the thermal decomposition temperature of 7 (300 °C) is higher than that reported for the NLO prototype DANS (295 °C).

A thieno[2,3-b]thiophene core has been utilized as a π-donor component to design two series of push-pull thienothiophenes by introducing various acceptor groups either via olefinic or aza-spacers. The molecules show a UV-visible cut-off wavelength below t
