Item Synthesis, characterization and nonlinear optical properties of 2-[(E)-2-(4-ethoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-1-methylquinolinium 4-substitutedbenzenesulfonate compounds(2010) Ruanwas, P.; Kobkeatthawin, T.; Chantrapromma, S.; Fun, H.-K.; Philip, R.; Smijesh, N.; Padaki, M.; Isloor, A.M.In the present investigation, 2-[(E)-2-(4-ethoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-1-methylquinolinium 4-substituted benzenesulfonate (X = CH3 (1), X = OCH3 (2), X = Cl (3), X = Br (4)) have been synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopy methods. In addition compound 3 was also characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and found that it crystallized out in the monoclinic space group P21 with cell parameters, a = 9.8072(9) Å, b = 6.4848(5) Å, c = 19.4405(16) Å, ? = 90°, ? = 103.421(5)°, ? = 90°, z = 2 and V = 1202.61(17) Å3. The nonlinear optical absorption of the samples has been studied at 532 nm using 5 ns laser pulses, employing the open-aperture z-scan technique. It is found that some of the samples are potential candidates for optical limiting applications. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

It also includes the evaluation of its linear and nonlinear optical properties and electrochemical studies. The new polymer, viz., poly{2-[4-(1-cyanoethenyl) phenyl]-3-(3,4-didodecyloxythiophen-2-yl)prop-2-enenitrile} (P1) has been synthesized starting from 2,2?-sulfanediyldiacetic acid and diethyl ethanedioate through multistep reactions. In the final step, the polymerization was brought about by Knovenagel condensation. The newly synthesized intermediate, monomer and the polymer (P1) have been characterized by different spectroscopic techniques followed by elemental analysis. Its optical and electrochemical properties are investigated by UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetric studies, respectively. The red colored polymer has a well defined structure, good thermal stability and a band gap of 1.78 eV. It emits green fluorescence both in solution and in film state. The third-order nonlinear optical property (NLO) of the polymer was studied by the Z-scan technique. The measurements were performed at 532 nm with 5 ns laser pulses using samples in solution form. An absorptive nonlinearity of the optical limiting type was found in this polymer, which is due to the combined action of saturable absorption and excited state absorption processes. These studies revealed that polymer P1 is a promising material for optical limiting applications. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.Item Synthesis and third order optical nonlinearity studies of the donor-acceptor conjugated polymer, poly(2-[3,4-didodecyloxy-5-(1,3,4-oxadiazol- 2-yl)thiophen-2-yl]-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole) and a polymer/TiO2 nanocomposite(2010) Murali, M.G.; Ramya, M.G.; Udayakumar, D.; Lakshmi, N.B.; Philip, R.A donor-acceptor conjugated polymer (PDOThPOD) containing 3,4-didodecyloxythiophene and (1,3,4-oxadiazolyl)benzene units is synthesized by using precursor polyhydrazide route. Cyclic voltammetry studies reveal that the polymer possesses a low-lying LUMO energy level (-3.57 eV). A nanocomposite of polymer PDOThPOD and nano TiO2 is also prepared. The linear optical properties of PDOThPOD and the nanocomposite are studied using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. z-scan technique is used to study the third order nonlinear optical properties of the polymer and nanocomposite films. Both polymer and nanocomposite films show a strong optical limiting behavior. The value of nonlinear absorption coefficient (?) is found to be of the order of 10-7 m/W, indicating that these materials are potentially suited for fabricating optical limiters. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

The newly synthesized intermediates and the final polymers have been characterized by different spectroscopic techniques followed by elemental analysis. Their optical and electrochemical properties have been investigated by UV-visible, fluorescence spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetric studies, respectively. Furthermore, the nonlinear optical transmission properties of these polymers have been investigated by the open aperture z-scan technique. The new polymers P1 and P2 have well-defined structures, good thermal stability, and band gaps of 1.98 and 1.88 eV, respectively. They emit bluish-green fluorescence both in solution and in film state. Interestingly, these polymers show saturable absorption behavior. The results of nonlinear optical studies reveal that they are potential candidates for photonic switching device applications. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Item New diphenylamine-based donor-acceptor-type conjugated polymers as potential photonic materials(2011) Vishnumurthy, K.A.; Sunitha, M.S.; Philip, R.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.A new series of donor-acceptor-type conjugated polymers (P1 and P2) carrying a diphenyl amine moiety were synthesized via Wittig condensation technique. The polymers structures were well established by FT-IR, 1H NMR, elemental analysis and gel permeation chromatographic techniques. They exhibited good thermal stability with an onset decomposition temperature of approximately 325 °C under nitrogen atmosphere. The optical and electrochemical properties of the polymers were studied by UV-vis, fluorescence emission spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. They exhibited good fluorescence in dilute solutions and showed solvatochromic behavior in various polar solvents. The electrochemical studies revealed that the polymers possess low-lying LUMO energy levels that ranging from -3.47 to -3.73 eV and high-lying HOMO energy levels that ranging from -5.57 to -5.81 eV. The thirdorder nonlinear optical properties of the polymers were investigated using the Z-scan technique. The effective two-photon absorption (TPA) coefficients (?) of the polymers were found to be 0.645 × 10-10 and 0.212 × 10-10 m/W. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

The optical nonlinearity of the compounds in chloroform solution has been studied at 532nm using 5ns laser pulses, employing the open-aperture z-scan technique. It is found that compound 3c having carboxylic acid group and ester substituent has maximum nonlinearity. From measurements we conclude that compounds 3c (4-[4-(ethoxycarbonyl)-5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzoic acid) and 3e (ethyl 1-(2-bromophenyl)-5-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate) are potential candidates for optical limiting applications. © 2011.
