Crystal structure, linear and nonlinear optical properties of three thiophenyl chalcone derivatives: A combined experimental and computational study

Abstract Three thiophenyl chalcone derivatives, (E)-1-(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-3-(4-bromophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (B5B2SC), (E)-1-(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (3C5B2SC), and (E)-1-(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-3-(2-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (2M5B2SC), were successfully synthesized and crystallized. The structures were confirmed by experimental and theoretical FTIR and 1H NMR spectra. The crystal structures were determined by single-crystal XRD method. The B5B2SC, 3C5B2SC and 2M5B2SC crystallize in the monoclinic space groups P 21/c (centrosymmetric), P 2 (non-centrosymmetric) and triclinic space group P 1 ‾ (centrosymmetric), respectively. All these structures adopt trans configuration with respect to C6═C7 double bond. The chalcones have high thermal stability, a wide transparency in the visible region and small optical band gaps. The 3C5B2SC exhibits powder second-harmonic generation (SHG) intensity of about 1.7 times higher than Urea. From continuous wave (CW) laser (532 nm) Z-scan experimental data analyses, the third-order NLO parameters such as nonlinear absorption coefficient (β = ~10−4 cm/W), nonlinear refractive index (n2= ~10−9 cm2/W), third-order NLO susceptibility (χ(3) = ~10−7 esu), molecular hyperpolarizability (γh = ~10−27 esu), ground state absorption cross section (σg = ~10−22 cm2) and excited state cross sections (σex= ~10−20 cm2) were determined. The chalcones also exhibited optical limiting and all optical switching behaviour for CW laser operating at 532 nm wavelengths. The electric dipole moment, polarizability, hyperpolarizabilty, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, global chemical reactivity descriptors (GCRD), molecular electrostatic potentials (MEP) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis were computed theoretically (DFT). The results indicate that these three chalcones with thiophene moiety are potential materials for optical device applications.

Glycine and its related compounds play a prominent role in the field of nonlinear optical studies and of fibre optical communication. In the present work, glycine sodium nitrate (GSN) crystal was grown using the method of slow evaporation method. The GSN crystal belongs to space group Cc in the monoclinic system. Using the FTIR spectrophotometer, the different functional groups have been qualitatively identified. A UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy was used to record the optical absorption spectra, and the optical energy bandgap of GSN crystal is reported. The SHG conversion efficiency of GSN is determined by Kurtz and Perry technique. The Z-scan experiment was conducted to analyze GSN crystal for third-order NLO behavior and it is used to calculate the values of the nonlinear absorption coefficient, nonlinear refractive index, and third-order nonlinear susceptibility. Third-generation harmonic studies reveal that GSN is an excellent material useful in the fabrication of NLO devices due to its nonlinear response characteristics. The thermal stability of the grown crystal was determined through TG/DTA examination. Also photoconductivity studies confirm the negative photoconductive behavior of GSN and I–V characteristics measurement that have been carried out. The dielectric loss is significantly low and this supports defect-free growth of the crystal. These properties of GSN make it a good candidate in the fabrication of NLO devices.

Crystal growth, structural, optical and piezoelectric investigations on novel B4AAT (bis-4-acetylanilinium tartrate): A phase matchable second and third-order NLO single crystal for optoelectronic and nonlinear optical device applications

Abstract A novel organic nonlinear optical crystal, bis (4-acetylanilinium) tartrate (B4AAT) has been synthesized and successfully grown by a slow evaporation method using acetone as a solvent at ambient temperature. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction study reveals that B4AAT crystallized into a triclinic system with the noncentrosymmetric space group (P1). The crystalline perfection of the grown crystal was affirmed by the High-resolution XRD study. The characteristic functional groups with vibrational assignments and molecular structure of B4AAT were confirmed through Infrared, Raman and NMR spectroscopic analyses. UV–Vis–NIR spectral analysis of the crystal shows 69% of transmittance with a lower cut-off wavelength at 334 nm. The grown crystal was thermally stable up to 143.39 °C. The laser-induced damage threshold of the B4AAT compound was found to be 15.78 GW/cm2 for 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser radiation. The grown B4AAT possesses the low value of dielectric constant and piezoelectric charge coefficient (d33 = 5.86 pC/N) for the supercapacitor and microelectronics industry. The size-dependent of second harmonic generation efficiency of the crystal was found to be 4.6 times higher than that of KDP. The photoluminescence and lifetime measurements of the molecules in the crystal were studied by Fluorescence spectral analysis. The third-order nonlinear optical activity estimated utilizing the Z-scan method reveals that the B4AAT possesses saturable absorption, negative nonlinearity with self-defocusing and optical limiting effect. The aforesaid results confirm that B4AAT crystal is a potential candidate for optoelectronic and nonlinear optical device applications.

Influence of bismuth nitrate doping towards the characteristics of L-Alanine nonlinear optical crystals

In the present study, an amino acid derivatives, L-alanine (LA) and Bismuth nitrate-doped L-alanine (BNLA) crystals were grown by the slow evaporation technique. The crystal structure and quality of the grown crystal were examined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and powder XRD. The X-ray diffraction analysis of LA and BNLA crystals confirmed the orthorhombic crystal system without any internal structural grain boundaries. The optical properties of the LA and BNLA crystals have been determined using UV-Visible spectroscopy and Photoluminescence (PL). The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the crystal was measured using Kurtz powder technique. The dielectric constant measurement was performed at room temperature for different frequencies. Photoconductivity tests show that the LA and BNLA crystals have negative photoconductivity value. On testing of the retentivity or remanent magnetization, the BNLA crystal has increased values as compared to the pure LA crystals, in addition to the observation of changes in coercivity. Further, the observation of maximum intensity peak for the BNLA crystal at 346.9 nm pointed out that the crystal has blue fluorescence emission. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of the grown crystal were studied using Z-scan technique. The enhancement in nonlinear refractive index and third-order NLO susceptibility value shows that the grown BNLA crystals may be of good quality and less in defect than that of pure LA crystals.

Investigations on structural, optical, dielectric, electronic polarizability, Z-scan and antibacterial properties of Ni/Zn/Fe2O4 nanoparticles fabricated by microwave-assisted combustion method

In this article, Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by differing concentrations of fuel (lean, stoichiometric, and rich) via microwave-assisted combustion route. The effect of fuel content was used to explore their chemical, electrical, and nonlinear optical properties along with their antibacterial activity of the as-prepared Ni/Zn/ferrite NPs were studied. The XRD assures the cubic crystal structure of prepared NPs with no secondary phase. It is also clear that as lattice parameters increases, the mean crystallite size decreases as a change in fuel ratio. The optical energy bandgap values are estimated as 2.88, 3.28, and 3.0 eV, respectively. From the luminescence spectra, the Ni/Zn ferrite NPs exhibits strong green emission and weak violet emission color. The fuel ratio has a significant influence on the electronic polarizability properties of synthesized NPs. Closed and open aperture Z-scan technique reveals that the Ni/Zn ferrites NPs have self-defocusing nature, and reverse saturable absorption. The calculated values are NLA coefficients (10-5 cmW−1), NLR index (10−9 cm2W−1), and third-order NLO susceptibility χ(3) values of fuel lean (1.408 × 10−5esu), stoichiometric (2.75 × 10−6esu), and rich (2.634 × 10−5esu). Several identified microorganisms such as gram + Ve (S. aureus, B. cereus), and gram -Ve (P. aeruginosa, V. cholerae, and E. coli) have been tested for antibacterial activity against Ni/Zn ferrite nanoparticles. The ZOI values are 27 (lean), 24 (stoichiometric), and 25 mm (rich) which suggest great antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa gram-negative bacterium. However, this study shows excellent feasibility of applying prepared ferrite nanoparticles for optoelectronic devices and pharmaceutical processing applications.

Molecular structure, linear optical, second and third-order nonlinear optical properties of two non-centrosymmetric thiophene‐chalcone derivatives

Two chalcones, (2E)-1-(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-3-(3-fluorophenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (3F5B2SC) and (2E)-1-(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (4M5B2SC) were synthesised and crystallized by slow evaporation solution growth technique to investigate their structural, linear optical, thermal and nonlinear optical properties. Initially, the structures of 3F5B2SC and 4M5B2SC were confirmed by FT-IR and NMR (1H and 13C NMR) spectroscopic studies. Detail solid state structures of these grown crystals were determined by single crystal XRD data analysis. Both the chalcones are crystallized in the non-centrosymmetric monoclinic crystal system. The thermal analysis (DSC, TGA, DTA and DTG) revealed that 3F5B2SC and 4M5B2SC molecules are thermally stable upto their melting points for solid state studies. The linear optical properties of these chalcones were studied in the UV–Vis-NIR region. The estimated direct energy band gap of the molecules by Tauc's plot (4.7 eV for 3F5B2SC and 4.2 eV for 4M5B2SC) are comparable with HOMO-LUMO gaps. The MEP and NBO of both the molecules are studied by DFT method. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of 4M5B2SC and 3F5B2SC determined by Kurtz-Perry powder method is found to be 5.3 and 4.2 times that of urea, respectively. Third-order NLO parameters, such as nonlinear absorption coefficient (β = ~ 10−4 cm/W), nonlinear refractive index (n2 = ~ 10−9 cm2/W), susceptibility (χ(3)= ~ 10−7 esu) and molecular hyperpolarizability (γh = ~ 10−27 esu) were determined unambiguously from Z-scan experimental data analysis. The molecules exhibited optical limiting behaviour for continuous wave (CW) laser operating at 532 nm wavelength. Computationally, the dipole moment, static and dynamic polarizability and hyperpolarizability of both the chalcones were determined by TD-DFT and TD-HF method. The obtained results suggest that the studied thiophene- chalcones may be used in optical device as frequency generator, optical limiter and optical switch.

Significant effect of film thickness on morphology and third-order optical nonlinearities of Cd1−xZnxO semiconductor nanostructures for optoelectronics

The work presented here reported the thickness dependent structural, linear and nonlinear optical properties of nanostructured Cd1−xZnxO thin films. Thin films were prepared with two different thickness (≈ 0.5 µm and 1 µm) by employing a spray pyrolysis (SP) technique for different Zn-doping levels (Cd1−xZnxO with the x value of 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1). X-ray diffraction studies confirm the polycrystalline nature having a cubic crystal structure. In terms of an aspect ratio of the columnar structure and dispersion in hexagonal (1 1 1) basal plane orientation, a thickness dependency of structural evolution was discussed. The Scherrer rule was employed to determine the crystallite size and found to be decreased. FESEM images indicate grains which are uniform and grain size slightly increased with an increase in dopant concentration, annealing and thickness of the films, respectively. The optical energy band gap (Eg) of the prepared films was found to be increased from 2.50 to 2.67 eV. The NLO parameters of the samples were measured from the Z-scan data under DPSS continuous wave laser excitation at 532 nm and the results reveal that reverse saturable absorption (RSA) and self-defocusing natures are the attributed and observed nonlinearity of the nanostructures. The third-order NLO components such as β, $$n_{2}$$ and χ(3) are found to be enhanced with one order of magnitude higher with the influence of thickness from 1.25 × 10–4 to 2.47 × 10–3 (cm W−1), 7.08 × 10–9 to 3.35 × 10–8 (cm2 W−1) and 4.06 × 10–7 to 1.96 × 10–6 (esu) respectively. The inspiring results of NLO parameters are also due to the increasing localized defect states on grain boundaries as the film thickness increases, suggesting the prepared films are a promising material for nonlinear photonic device applications.

In the visible region, 2AT4B crystal processes extensive optical transmission. In a continuous wave mode, the third-order NLO parameters are measured with Z-Scan technique. The open aperture data was used to study the optical limiting behaviour of chalcone crystal. Nonlinear optical studies show that the 2AT4B crystal is a promising source for applications in photonic and optical power limiting devices.

New quinacridone derivatives: Synthesis, photophysical and third-order nonlinear optical properties

A series of quinacridone third-order nonlinear optical chromophores containing phenyl, 4-methoxyphenyl and N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)aniline groups were designed and synthesized. The optical properties, electrical properties, theoretical calculations and Z-Scan of the compounds were measured and analyzed to investigate the relationship between structure and third-order NLO properties. The experimental results showed that the introduction of electron-donating groups at the N-position of quinacridone decreases the energy gap (Egap) between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the molecule, and promotes intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). Quinacridone derivatives containing N, N-bis (4-methoxyphenyl) aniline have good third-order nonlinear optical properties, with the nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) value of 1.4319 × 10−13 and the second-order superpolarizability (γ) of 2.6849 × 10−33 esu.

Synthesis and characterization of GO doped bio-resource based composites for NLO and multifaceted applications

The objective of the present work is to synthesize three different types of cardanol based benzoxazines such as cardanol-{1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)ethane}benzoxazine (CBAE2Bz), cardanol-{1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)butane} benzoxazine (CBAE4Bz) and cardanol-{1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)octane}benzoxazine (CBAE8Bz) by varying aliphatic ether link chain length through solventless method. The benzoxazines obtained with varying chain length were converted in to three different types of composites using paraphenylenediamine (PPDA) functionalized gaphene oxide (f-GO) as nano-reinforcement with varying weight percentage and were characterized by different analytical techniques. The molecular structure of the monomers was confirmed from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, 1HNMR, 13C NMR and MALDI mass. Data obtained from thermal studies infer that the prepared composites possess good thermal stability and enhanced values of Tg with respect to weight percent of functionalized graphene oxide content. However, the values of thermal stability, Tg, dielectric constant and dielectric loss were marginally decreased with respect to increase in length of the spacer aliphatic chain. The SEM and TEM studies confirm the homogeneous dispersion and single layer thickness of graphene sheet, respectively. The feasibility of usage of f-GO/PCAE2Bz composite in both gram positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) and gram negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli) environments were checked and the results obtained were discussed. Further, third-order NLO properties of open and closed aperture Z–scan results conclude that GO doped bio-resource based composites exhibit saturable absorption and self-defocusing type optical non-linearity. The third-order NLO susceptibility (χ3) of GO doped bio-resource based composites are increased with respect to quantity of reinforcement of GO to bio-based polymer. The maximum value of 1.03X 10−4 esu was observed and this nonlinearity is thermal in nature. Thus, the prepared composites may find wide range of applications in diverse surrounding conditions.

Auto-controlled fabrication of a metal-porphyrin framework thin film with tunable optical limiting effects.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties are still in their infancy but are very important. In this work, we first develop a layer by layer autoarm immersion method for preparing porphyrin-based MOF (PIZA-1) thin films with third-order NLO properties. By precisely controlling the thickness, the nonlinear absorption of PIZA-1 thin films can be switched continuously between reverse saturable absorption (RSA) and saturable absorption (SA) by using the Z-scan technique. In addition, the optical limiting effect could be further optimized by loading C60 in the pores of the PIZA-1 thin film. These findings not only open a new route for the exploitation of third-order NLO thin film materials, but also offer an insightful understanding of porphyrin-based MOF thin films for future broad practical applications.

Two new isolated Zn-ε-Keggin clusters modified by conjugated organic ligands with decent electrocatalytic and third-order NLO properties.

Two new bifunctional isolated hybrid compounds, [ε-PMoV8MoVI4O37(OH)3Zn4][iql]4·6H2O (1) and [ε-PMoV8MoVI4O38(OH)2Zn4][bipy]3[(CH3COO)(bipy)2Zn]·2H2O (2) (where iql = isoquinoline and bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine), based on Zn-ε-Keggin were successfully synthesized by self-assembly under hydrothermal conditions. It is interesting to note that acetate in 2 acted as a linker connecting the ε-Keggin anion with the one Zn atom (Zn5) and enabled the ε-Keggin anion to coordinate with more bipy ligands, culminating with a larger isolated system, which is the first reported isolated cluster of Zn5PMo12. Meanwhile, compounds 1-2 show great electrochemical behaviors and excellent electrocatalytic activity for the degradation of NaNO2. In addition, compound 2 displays better third-order NLO performance than 1 due to the presence of more conjugated rings, with a TPA cross section (σ) of 1819 GM, which suggests that compound 2 has the potential to function as a bifunctional material with tremendous prospects.
