Hierarchical Modeling of the Nonlinear Optical Response of Composite Materials Based on Tetrathiafulvalene Derivatives. Molecules 2024; 29:3720. [PMID: 39202800 PMCID: PMC11356877 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29163720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 09/03/2024] Open
Abstract
The presented work concerns computational investigations of the physical properties of composite materials based on polymer matrix and nonlinear optical (NLO) active chromophores. The structural, electronic, and optical properties of selected tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-based chromophores have been calculated using quantum chemical methods. The polymer matrix changes the physical properties of the inserted chromophores influencing their optical parameters. To explain the mechanism of the NLO signal occurrence from the composites based on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix and TTF chromophores, their structures are modeled using the classical molecular dynamics. In consequence, the structural properties of the composites are discussed according to the NLO requirements. By developing the theoretical model based on a discrete multipole local field approach, the impact of polymer matrix on the optical properties of chromophores is explained.

Abstract
![]()
Three polyazomethines
and their corresponding model compounds were
protonated with trifluoroacetic acid, and its effect on their optical
(UV–vis absorption and photoluminescence) properties and electrochemical
behavior has been studied, in the context of the presence and elongation
of alkoxy side groups. Moreover, the effect of environment dielectric
constants (i.e., polarity of the solvent) was considered on the doping
process. It has been proven that the presence of alkoxy side groups
is necessary for protonation to occur, while unsubstituted compounds
undergo hydrolysis to constitutive units. Acid doping of imines consisting
of alkoxy side chains has resulted in a distinct bathochromic shift
(>200 nm) of the low-energy absorption band. Even the length of
alkyl
chains has not affected the position of shifted bands; it has been
observed that azomethines with smaller, methoxy side groups undergo
the protonation process much faster than their octyloxy-substituted
analogues, due to the absence of steric hindrance. The electrochemical
studies of these alkoxy-substituted imines have indicated a better
p-type behavior after protonation induced by the capability of the
protonated form to easily oxidize in acetonitrile and to generate
the native molecules. The environmental polarity has also had impact
on the doping process, which took place only in low-polar media.

Abstract
The field of organic electronics has been prolific in the last couple of years, leading to the design and synthesis of several molecular semiconductors presenting a mobility in excess of 10 cm2 V-1 s-1 . However, it is also started to recently falter, as a result of doubtful mobility extractions and reduced industrial interest. This critical review addresses the community of chemists and materials scientists to share with it a critical analysis of the best performing molecular semiconductors and of the inherent charge transport physics that takes place in them. The goal is to inspire chemists and materials scientists and to give them hope that the field of molecular semiconductors for logic operations is not engaged into a dead end. To the contrary, it offers plenty of research opportunities in materials chemistry.

Abstract
Introduction of an electron-donating meso-diarylamino group into a porphyrin core affords its broadened and red-shifted absorption and raises the HOMO level of the porphyrin. In this regard, porphyrins with multiple meso-diarylamino groups are expected to show unique optical and electrochemcial properties depending on the number of the meso-diarylamino groups. Herein, we report a series of porphyrins with a different number of the meso-diarylamino groups. They were prepared by the iodine(III)-mediated oxidative amination reaction of the corresponding meso-free porphyrins. With increasing the number of the meso-diarylamino groups, both red shifts and broadening in the absorption and negative shifts in the oxidation potential were observed. Notably, the oxidation potential of the porphyrin with four meso-diarylamino groups is comparable to that of tetrathiafulvalene, which is one of representative electron donors, suggesting the potential utility of multiply meso-aminated porphyrins as hole-transporting materials and as electron donors forming charge-transfer complexes with electron acceptors. We believe that this study sheds light on porphyrins with multiple electron-donating groups as organic functional materials.

Abstract
Rigid and planar conjugated molecules have substantial significance due to their potential applications in organic electronics. Herein we report two highly fused ladder type conjugated molecules, TTCTTC and TTTCTTTC, with up to 10 fused rings in which the fused-thiophene rings are fused to the chromeno[6,5,4-def]chromene unit. Both molecules show high HOMO levels and accordingly they can be oxidized into their radical cations with absorptions extending to 1300 nm in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. Thin films of TTCTTC and TTTCTTTC exhibit p-type semiconductor properties with hole mobilities up to 0.39 cm2 V−1 s−1. Moreover, TTCTTC shows a high fluorescence quantum yield of up to 16.5% in the solid state. Fused conjugated molecules TTCTTC and TTTCTTTC with up to ten heterocycles were constructed by fusing fused-thiophene to the chromeno[6,5,4-def]chromene unit.![]()
