Synthesis and structural characterization of a new polysiloxane with second‐order nonlinear optical effect

Abstract

ABSTRACT:A new polysiloxane (P2), with a high density of the indole-based chromophore and carbazolyl side groups, was prepared. Thus a polysiloxane (P1), with indole and carbazolyl groups as side chains, was first synthesized through a hydrosilylation reaction, and then the post-azo coupling of p-nitrobenzenediazonium fluoroborate toward the indole ring gave the mulifunctional indole-based chromophore-functionalized polysiloxane (P2). Molecular structural characterization for the polymers was determined by 1 H-NMR, IR, and UV-visible spectra, gel permeation chromatography, and differential scanning calorimetry. The polymers were easily soluble in common organic solvents. The poled film of P2 revealed a resonant d 33 value of 27 pm/V by second-harmonic generation measurements.

Synthesis and nonlinear optical properties of polyphosphazenes with binaphtholyl and indole side groups

“…Generally, the d 33 value of the same NLO polymer can be different when measured by different methods or different testing systems. Compared with the values of other polymers containing similar azo chromophores tested by the same equipment, the d 33 values of P2 and P3 are relatively high 28–33. They should be due to the high β value of indole azo chromophores10 and the presence of some spacer between the chromophore side chains and the backbone.…”

The synthesis of a novel flame retardant and its synergistic efficiency in polypropylene/ammonium polyphosphate system

“…The NMR characterization of Si‐E has been shown in Figs 1 and 2. H‐a was the characteristic peak of methyl connecting to SiOSi 20. According to the characterization in the former research21, 22 H‐c21and H‐d8 were assigned to the primary and secondary amine group.…”

Preparation of polysiloxane with pendant Cr‐bound carbazole chromophore for nonlinear optics

“…3,4 In sharp contrast, in conventional donor/acceptor aromatic systems, a highly nonlinear molecular structure usually has a large dipole moment. [5][6][7] The incorporation of organometallic groups into these polymers, however, made them a stiff, brittle material with a high glass transition temperature (T g ). The high T g of these organometallic polymers normally requires high processing temperatures that can cause significant polymer degradations.…”
