要旨

One-photon absorption (OPA) and two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of a class of novel multi-branched molecules have been investigated. These molecules exhibit strong one- and two-photon absorption and have comparatively large TPA cross sections. The one-photon absorption of compounds containing two different stilbene (or a stilbene and an azobenzene) derivatives offers an unprecedented combination of that of individual parts. On the basis of correct geometries, optimized by using the AM1 method, the TPA cross sections of molecules were examined. The peak TPA cross section values (δmax) calculated with the ZINDO-SOS method are in the range 11.35–41.18 × 10−48 cm4·s photon−1. The δmax value increases as the donor strength increases and the π-center has an important effect on the magnitude of the δmax value. Compared with individual parts, the TPA cross sections of combinations of two different stilbene (or a stilbene and an azobenzene) derivatives exhibit a significant enhancement. Thus, another design strategy to maximize the TPA cross section is established.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
