Properties of EO Active Molecular Glasses Based on Indandione and Azobenzene Chromophores

2012

Continuing previous research of EO active materials we have focused our attention on compounds employing two types of core nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores – indandione and azobenzene . Coupling of them with bulky triphenyl, pentafluorophenylmethoxy ester, benzyloxy ester molecular fragments, as anti-crystallization agents allows us to obtain amorphous materials for potential NLO applications.
