Nonlinear Optical Materials for the Smart Filtering of Optical Radiation

“…RSA was shown at 532 nm and TPA at 1.064 mm, with χ (3) values of 6.7 × 10 −12 and 6.1 × 10 −12 esu, respectively. 1656 Similarly, SubPc 725 (Chart 168) has been synthesized, 1657 and its third-order NLO properties in ethanol solution have been studied by Zscan technique using 8 ns laser pulses at 532 nm. The complex exhibited a strong NLO absorption effect (α 2 = 3.7 × 10 −10 mW −1 ), self-focusing refractive performance (η 2 = 2.1 × 10 −13 cm 2 W −1 ), and effective third-order NLO susceptibility χ (3) = 1.12 × 10 −11 esu.…”

Effect of Peripheral Substitution on the Performance of Subphthalocyanines in DSSCs

“…Minimized geometry-optimized structures were first performed at the semi-empirical level (PM6 method), followed by energy-minimized DFT calculations at the B3LYP level (basis sets:6 -31G*) to compute the molecular frontier orbitals. TriiodoSubPc (7), [23] 4-octylsulfonylphthalonitrile (14) [26] 4'-(4-tertbutlyphenylthio) phthalonitrile (15), [27] 4-octylthiophthalonitrile (16), dibenzo[b,e] [1,4]dioxine-2,3-dicarbonitrile (17), [3] 4-iodophthalonitrile (18), [28,29] 4-ethynylbenzoic acid, [22] and 4-ethynylbenzaldehyde [30] were prepared according to procedures previously reported in the literature.…”

“…In recent years, research based on subphthalocyanines (SubPcs) [1] has attracted great attentiono wing to their fundamental scientific importance and utility in aw ide range of applicationsi nf ields such as nonlinear optics, [2,3] OLEDs, [4,5] photodynamic therapy, [6][7][8] and photo-electroactive systems. [9][10][11][12] They have received considerable interesta sa na lternative active layer component in photovoltaic devices due to their strong absorption in the visible region (500-700 nm), low oxidation potential, and high electron mobility.…”

Fabrication and Performance of Copper Phthalocyanine/Squaraine Dye/Perylene Composite with Bulk Heterojunctions by the Solution Blending Process

“…Following the literature, − 3-nitrophthalonitrile (77 mmol) and 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanol (6.93 mmol) was dissolved in the dry N , N ′-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution of 10 mL, and then K 2 CO 3 (7.5 mmol) was added at ambient temperature. The heating temperature is 140 °C, and the reaction requires 4 h. After the reaction, the solution was added into water (100 mL) and stirred for 1 h. The solid precipitate of 3-(2,4-dimethyl-3-pentoxy)­phthalodinitrile ( 1 ) was collected with filter paper.…”
