Donor and Geometry Optimization: Fresh Perspectives for the Design of Polyoxometalate Charge Transfer Chromophores by Bethany R. Hood (20396768)

“…The linear systems show that with julolidinyl (Jd) and −NTol₂ donor groups, the alkyne bridge yields high second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficients β (Jd, β_0,<i>zzz</i> = 318 × 10^–30 esu; −NTol₂, β_0,<i>zzz</i> = 222 × 10^–30 esu), indeed the Jd compound gives the highest NLO activity of any organoimido-POM to date with minimal decrease in transparency. The <i>bis</i>-functionalized 2D (<i>C</i>_2v) POM derivative showed increased activity over its monofunctionalized analogue with no decrease in transparency, although the NLO response was only minimally two dimensional. …”
