Abstract:
Molecules with large optical non-linearities have extensively been studied due to their potential applications in the area of materials science and various photonic technologies, including optical switching and data processing. Semi-empirical quantum chemical calculations are performed on the class of compounds shown in Figure 1 which show very large non-linear optical activity. The effect of twist angle (1234) on the static hyperpolarizability was investigated. Geometries of all molecules were optimized at the semi-empirical level of the theory using AM1 Hamiltonian using MOPAC 6.0 computational package. The static hyperpolarizabilities, β, and frontier molecular orbital energies are studied as a function of the twist angle (1234), between the diaminomethylene unit and the six membered fused rings as shown in Figure 1 using AM1 Hamiltonian within MOPAC 6.0 computational chemistry package. All the β values that we report here are the magnitude of static hyperpolarizability. The enormous enhancement of the hyperpolarizability for a particular dihedral angle of these designed novel molecular systems is also reported. The study reveals that these classes of organic compounds show a very large hyperpolarizability and hence in general may have potential applications in the development of non-linear optical materials.
