Abstract
We report herein the efficient one-pot synthesis of 3,4-biaryl-2,5-dichlorothiophene derivatives (2a–2i) via a palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. A series of thiophene derivatives were synthesized, starting from 3,4-dibromo-2,5-dichlorothiophene (1) and various arylboronic acids using Pd(PPh3)4 and K3PO4 with moderate to good yields. For further insights about the structure and property relationship, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed. A relaxed potential energy surface (PES) scan was performed to locate the minimum energy structure. A frontier molecular orbitals analysis was performed to explain the reactivity of all synthesized derivatives. As the synthesized derivatives had extended conjugations, therefore the first hyperpolarizability (βo) was calculated to investigate their potential as non-linear optical (NLO) materials and significant βo values were found for the 2b and 2g derivatives.

Summary
In 1970, Davydov and co-workers reported the significance of organic materials based on a strong second harmonic generation (SHG) and formulated a base for interest for organic-based systems in non-linear optics (NLO) [1]. The important requirements for being a good non-linear optical material are a high chemical and thermal stability, good transparency and a greater.
