Abstract
AbstractTo investigate photoelectric properties of meso‐extended porphyrin derivatives with electron‐donating or electron‐withdrawing substituents, a series of functionalized porphyrin materials have been designed and synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction. The meso‐extended structures were fully characterized by 1H NMR, IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The photophysical properties of porphyrin derivatives were carefully examined by UV‐Visible and fluorescence spectra, and the solvatochromic effect was observed and discussed. In particular, Z‐scan technique was employed to characterize the third‐order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the products such as nonlinear absorption and refraction, the third‐order nonlinear refractive indexes (𝔵(3)‐value) of these porphyrin derivatives achieved 3.9×10−12 esu. In addition, the compounds could be self‐assembled into highly organized morphologies through phase‐exchange method. All the results indicated that the discotic materials have the potential for optoelectronic applications.
