Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Chiral Chromophores for Nonlinear Optical Applications

摘要

We report the design, synthesis and characterization of novel conjugated chiral materials, based on the derivatives of camphorquinone as shown below, for nonlinear optics. Several conjugated chiral monomers have been prepared and characterized. A x-ray single crystal study was also performed on one of the chiral monomer. The chiral conjugated polymers were prepared from polycondensation of conjugated chiral diol-monomer with di-functional and multifunctional co-monomers. We present results of synthesis and characterization of the conjugated chiral materials.
