Abstract
Modern approaches to the design of nonlinear optical materials often rely on computational techniques. Here, we discuss the effects of the variation in the center tetrel atoms, Tt = C, Si, or Ge, in a series of covalent organic frameworks of the COF-102 family. The effects of halogen substitution, Hal = Cl, Br, or I on intramolecular tetrel bonding are also discussed. The characteristics of the calculated electron density have been implemented to describe the features of the electron distribution around the central fragment involving a tetrahedral tetrel atom. The effect of the central Tt atom leads to a dramatic change in the character of electron delocalization on the Tt-Car bond with aromatic rings. The location of the halogen atom at the ortho-position of the aromatic ring leads to the formation of tetrel bonds, halogen bonds, or other noncovalent interactions. The changes in the second-order electric susceptibility χ(2) have been studied in order to describe the strength of nonlinear optical properties within the periodic couple-perturbed Kohn-Sham approach. A counterintuitive trend for the χ(2) decrease is observed upon substitution of H > Cl > Br > I at the ortho-position of the phenyl ring. This is due to the corresponding elongation of the Tt-Car bond.

Abstract
Conjugated and processable self-standing vinylene-linked covalent organic framework membranes (COFMs) are highly demanding for photonics and optoelectronics. In this work, we have fabricated the first cyclotriphosphazene (CTP) cored vinylene-linked self-standing COFM (CTP-PDAN). For comparison purposes, we have successfully fabricated the imine-linked congener (CTP-PDA). Leveraging the inherent nonlinear optical (NLO) response of the CTP core, both membranes were directly mounted to evaluate NLO parameters using the open-aperture (OA) Z-scan technique. Direct measurement of NLO responses on membranes is advantageous and free from solvent and scattering effects, making it a more practical approach compared to the conventional dispersion mode. The OA Z-scan transmission yields a reverse saturable absorption signature exhibiting a higher NLO absorption coefficient (β) of 58.37 cm/GW for CTP-PDAN, compared to that of the imine-linked CTP-PDA COFM (β = 8.5 cm/GW). These results can be correlated to the efficient conjugation through the vinylene linkage in CTP-PDAN compared to the imine linked congener.

Abstract
An optimized complex multi-component nanomaterial system would help greatly enhance the optical limiting performance and applicability of 2D nanomaterials. By using antimony sulfide-[S-1-dodecyl-S'-(α,α'-dimethyl-α''-acetic acid)trithiocarbonate] (Sb2S3-DDAT) as a reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent, a highly soluble poly(N-vinylcarbazole)-covalently modified Sb2S3 (Sb2S3-PVK) was synthesized in situ and embedded into a non-optically active poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) matrix producing a PMMA-based film with good optical quality. In contrast to both the Sb2S3/PMMA and Sb2S3:PVK blends/PMMA films, the Sb2S3-PVK/PMMA film exhibits more superior optical limiting performance. After annealing in N2 at 200 °C for 30 minutes, the achieved nonlinear absorption coefficient and limiting threshold are changed from 411.79 cm GW-1 and 1.93 J cm-2 at 532 nm and 242.79 cm GW-1 and 4.17 J cm-2 at 1064 nm before annealing to 478.04 cm GW-1 and 1.70 J cm-2 at 532 nm and 520.92 cm GW-1 and 1.40 J cm-2 at 1064 nm after annealing, respectively. These advantages make Sb2S3-PVK one of the potential promising candidates for a broadband laser protector in both the visible and near-infrared ranges.

Abstract
As a conjugated and unsymmetric building block composed of an electron-poor seven-membered sp2 carbon ring and an electron-rich five-membered carbon ring, azulene and its derivatives have been recognized as one of the most promising building blocks for novel electronic devices due to its intrinsic redox activity. By using 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)-benzene and azulene-1,3-dicarbaldehyde as the starting materials, an azulene(Azu)-based 2D conjugated covalent organic framework, COF-Azu, is prepared through liquid-liquid interface polymerization strategy for the first time. The as-fabricated Al/COF-Azu/indium tin oxide (ITO) memristor shows typical non-volatile resistive switching performance due to the electric filed induced intramolecular charge transfer effect. Associated with the unique memristive performance, a simple convolutional neural network is built for image recognition. After 8 epochs of training, image recognition accuracy of 80 % for a neutral network trained on a larger data set is achieved.

Abstract
The vastness of organic synthetic strategies and knowledge of reticular chemistry have made covalent organic frameworks (COFs) one of the most chemically and structurally diverse class of materials with potential applications ranging from gas storage, molecular separation, and catalysis to energy storage and magnetism. Recently, this class of porous materials has garnered increasing interest as potential nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Traditionally, inorganic crystals, small-molecule organic chromophores, and oligomers have been studied for their NLO response. Nevertheless, COFs offer significant advantages over existing NLO materials in terms of higher mechanical strength, thermochemical stability, and extended conjugation. Herein, we discuss crucial aspects, terminology, and measurement techniques related to NLO, followed by a critical analysis of the design principles for COFs with NLO response. Furthermore, we touch on selected potential applications of these NLO materials. Finally, future prospects and challenges of COFs as NLO materials are discussed.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of organic crystalline porous materials discovered in the early 21st century that have become an attractive class of emerging materials due to their high crystallinity, intrinsic porosity, structural regularity, diverse functionality, design flexibility, and outstanding stability. However, many chemical and physical properties strongly depend on the presence of metal ions in materials for advanced applications, but metal-free COFs do not have these properties and are therefore excluded from such applications. Metalated COFs formed by combining COFs with metal ions, while retaining the advantages of COFs, have additional intriguing properties and applications, and have attracted considerable attention over the past decade. This review presents all aspects of metalated COFs, from synthetic strategies to various applications, in the hope of promoting the continued development of this young field.

Abstract
The investigation of third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of coordination polymers (CPs) based on solid samples is very difficult but is crucial for practical applications. Herein, we show a method for preparing high optical quality CP films in a polymer matrix to study the third-order NLO performance of solid-state CPs. Two novel azobenzene-based CPs, [CdL(DMAc)(H2O)]n (1) and {[CuL(4,4'-azobpy)]·3H2O}n (2) (H2L = 5-((4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenoxy)methyl)isophthalic acid), were selected as study subjects. The corresponding microcrystals with a grain size of around 3 μm were doped into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), forming CP films (1-MC/PVA and 2-MC/PVA). 1-MC/PVA and 2-MC/PVA exhibit NLO absorption switching behavior from saturable absorption (SA) to reverse saturable absorption (RSA) with increasing pulse energy. Moreover, their NLO properties can also be efficiently modulated by photostimulation energy due to the trans → cis isomerization of an azobenzene moiety. The density functional theory (DFT) results show that the narrower the band gap between the conduction band minimum and the valence band maximum, the denser the electron density distribution in the central mental and coordination atoms, which is beneficial to exhibit better third-order NLO performance. This work provides a feasible method for the wider practical application of solid materials with excellent third-order NLO performance.

Abstract
Interfacial nanofilms with nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were prepared via confined dynamic condensation of 4,4'-methylenedianiline (MDA) with the synthesized 2,3-bis(4-(bis(4-formylphenyl)amino)phenyl)fumaronitrile (BTFA). Investigated using the open-aperture Z-scan technique, BTFA showed reverse saturable absorption ascribed to the synergetic mechanisms of two-photon and excited-state absorption. In contrast, the as-prepared nanofilms demonstrated broadband saturable absorption within the spectral range of 720∼1700 nm. The characteristics of nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) decreased along with increasing the incident pulse intensity. Taking advantage of the flexibility and post-machinability properties, the folding layers of the nanofilms offered the feasibility to fine-tune the specific NLO responses. The optimal β value was found to be -10.1 cm/MW for eight-layer nanofilm as well as the normalized transmittance increased up to 35-fold at 800 nm. Utilized as a conceptual saturable absorber, the representative modulation depth and saturation intensity were observed to be around 2.4% and 7.37 GW/cm2 at 800 nm, respectively, comparable to traditional two-dimensional (2D) materials. Aiming to clarify the possible underlying physical processes, a four-level model was employed to illustrate the fast relaxation of the excited states. Present work demonstrates that proper design of building blocks combined with interfacially confined dynamic condensation enables rational development of high-performance NLO materials.

Abstract
A series of "push-pull" porphyrins, MTPP(MN)(TPA)2 (M = 2H, CuII, NiII, and ZnII), having triphenylamine (TPA) and dicyanovinyl (DCN) groups at antipodal positions were synthesized and characterised by UV-Vis, fluorescence and NMR spectroscopic techniques, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, DFT, and elemental analysis, which were then further utilized for third-order nonlinear optical measurements under mild conditions using femtosecond laser pulses. Remarkably, MTPP(MN)(TPA)2 (M = 2H, CuII, NiII, and ZnII) exhibited 21-48 nm and 38-80 nm bathochromic shifts in B and Qx(0,0) bands as compared to the corresponding MTPPs (M = 2H, CuII, NiII, and ZnII); the results are consistent with the effect of enhanced resonance due to TPA and -I effect of DCN moieties. In cyclic voltammetry, the push-pull porphyrins exhibited a cathodic shift (0.13-0.51 V) in their first oxidation potential as compared to the precursor owing to the presence of electron-donating TPA groups. The third-order nonlinear optical responses were recorded using a single-beam femtosecond Z-scan technique to retrieve information about the nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refraction of the samples. The two-photon absorption coefficients (β) are in the range of 0.87 × 10-13 to 4.28 × 10-13 m W-1 and the nonlinear refractive index (n2) in the range of 1.21 × 10-19 to 7.36 × 10-19 m2 W-1. The ultrafast absorption dynamics of the ground-state bleaching (GSB) and photo-induced absorption (PIA) are monitored by femtosecond broadband transient absorption studies. The strong nonlinearity of these push-pull porphyrins makes them potential candidates for nonlinear optical and photonic device applications.
