Abstract
A new nonlinear-optical (NLO) chromophore containing L-Shape 2-benzofuranyldiazene in π-electron bridge has been synthetized and its chemical and thermal properties examined. Evaluation of the second order NLO properties was performed by EFISH measurements of μβ on chloroform solution and by SHG measurements on amorphous spin-coated thin films obtained from a blend of polymer and chromophores crosslinked “in situ”. The value of 830∙10−48 esu for μβ measured on the dye and of 10 pm/V for the d33 for the poled network are in medium range for similar systems, confirming the proper employ of the molecule to build NLO active networks. The crystal structures dye and its precursor examined by single-crystal analysis show a planar geometry and bond lengths pattern confirm the push pull L-shape nature of the D-π-A systems.
