Helical nano-fibers of an optical active phthalocyaninato zinc complex: Chiral information transfer, I-V properties and nonlinear optical properties

摘要

An optically active phthalocyaninato zinc complex containing eight chiral diethyleneglycol mono-(S)-2-methylbutyl ether moieties at the beta-position of the phthalocyanine ring, namely (S)-ZnPc (1), was designed, synthesized, and characterized. Using a phase transfer method, the complex 1 was self-assembled to helical nanostructures and the self-assemble behavior was systemically investigated by electronic absorption and circular dichroism spectra, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. In addition, nonlinear optical (NW) properties of complex land I-V properties of the helical nanostructures formed from complex 1 were also measured. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
