New complexes of 2,3-bis(5-(4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)maleonitrile (CDHBDMN) with VO(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) were synthesized and characterized by analytical and physicochemical techniques, that is, elemental analyses, molar conductivity, UV, IR, EPR, 1 H-NMR spectra, magnetic susceptibility and also by aid of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nonlinear optical study (NLO), �uorescence spectral studies, and solvatochromic behaviors. Electronic and magnetic susceptibility measurements of the complexes indicate square pyramidal geometry for VO(II), octahedral for Ni(II), and square planar geometry for all the other complexes. e EPR spectral data provide information about their structures on the basis of Hamiltonian parameters and the degree of covalency. ese metal complexes were also tested for their antibacterial and antifungal activities to assess their inhibiting potential. Metal-mediated �uorescence enhancement is observed on complexation of the azo Schiff base ligand. e synthesized compounds were investigated for nonlinear optical properties, and the surface morphology of the Cu(II) complex was studied by scanning electron microscopy.

“…Nonlinear optical materials have been widely studied for applications in transmission and manipulation of information, telecommunications, optical signal processing and optical storage [1]. Azopolymers, in particular, have been exploited owing to the properties arising from photoisomerization of the azo groups, especially the photoinduced anisotropy with polarized light [2,3].…”

a b s t r a c tThe applicability of azopolymers in optical storage can be extended through the use of nanostructured films produced with the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique, but the film properties need to be optimized since these polymers generally do not form stable Langmuir films to be transferred onto solid substrates. Here, photoinduced birefringence was investigated for mixed Langmuir-Blodgett films from the homo-0 -nitroazobenzene (HPDR1-MA) and poly(dodecylmethacrylate) (HPDod-MA). The interactions between these polymers were studied in Langmuir and LB films. Surface pressure-area isotherms pointed to molecular-level interactions for proportions of 51 mf%, 41 mf% and 31 mf% of HPDR1-MA. Phase segregation was not apparent in the BAM images, in which the morphology of the blend film was clearly different from that of the Langmuir films of neat homopolymers. Through PM-IRRAS, we noted that the interaction between the azopolymer and HPDod-MA affected the orientation of carbonyl groups. Strong interactions for the mixture with 41 mf% of poly(dodecylmethacrylate) led to stable Langmuir films that were transferred onto solid supports as LB films. The photoinduced birefringence of 101-layer mixed LB films show features that make these films useful for optical storage, with the advantage of short writing times in comparison to other azopolymer films.

New highly fluorinated poly(arylene ether sulfone)s (FPAES), poly(arylene ether ketone)s (FPAEK), and poly(arylene ether)s with several types of NLO chromophores as pendant groups were obtained by a polycondensation reaction using very mild conditions. The different polymer structures were designed with the objective to investigate the influence of both the polarity of the chromophore and the nature of the tether between the NLO chromophore and the chain. The resulting copolymers have glass transition temperatures (T g’s) varying between 160 and 215 °C, and they are stable up to 280 °C under nitrogen. Although these copolymers are soluble in common organic solvents, cyclohexanone gave the best film quality and was used for the film preparation. After optimization of the poling conditions, the in situ second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements gave nonresonant values of the second-order susceptibilities d 33 ranging from 2 to 8 pm/V, and the SHG signals of the poled polymer films were found to be thermally stable below 130 °C. Although being comparable with the values obtained for similar polymers and chromophores in the literature, d 33 are smaller than those obtained for more conventional NLO polymers like PMMA−Disperse Red One (PMMA-DR1), which was taken as a reference. An unusual drop of the SHG signal during cooling was found in the thermally assisted orientation process. This drop occurred at a characteristic temperature below T g. In this relaxation process which has never been observed, intra- and interchain dipolar interactions are shown to play an important role, which is amplified in the case of chromophores which have their donor group embedded in the main chain, connected by two rigid tethers.
