Synthesis and stability studies of conformationally locked 4-(diarylamino)aryl- and 4-(dialkylamino)phenyl-substituted second-order nonlinear optical polyenechromophores

Abstract

A series of chromophores with high second-order nonlinearities has been synthesized; the chromphores consist of triarylamine or dialkylarylamine donors linked by a conformationally locked polyene bridge to a dicyanomethylidene acceptor. The use of bridges of this type, combined with the replacement of dialkylarylamine with triarylamine donors, leads to high thermal stability without adverse affects on the nonlinear optical properties of the chromophores.
