Abstract
Merocyanines, as prototypes of highly polar π-conjugated molecules, have been intensively investigated for their self-assembly and optoelectronic properties, both experimentally and theoretically. However, an accurate description of their structural and electronic properties remains challenging for quantum-chemical methods. We assessed several theoretical approaches, TD-DFT, GW-BSE, STEOM-DLPNO-CCSD, and CASSCF/NEVPT2-FIC for their reliability in reproducing optoelectronic properties of a series of donor/acceptor (D/A) merocyanines, focusing on the first excitation energy. Additionally, we tested an all-electron perturbative method based on time-dependent coupled-perturbed density functional theory, denoted as TDCP-DFT. Particular focus was set on direct and indirect solvent effects, which affect excited-state energies by electrostatic interaction and molecular geometry. The molecular configuration space was sampled at the semiempirical tight-binding level. Our results corroborate previous investigations, showing that the S0 - S1 excitation energy strongly depends on the merocyanine molecular structure and the dielectric constant of the solvent. We found significant effects of the polar solution environment on the geometry of the merocyanines, which strongly affect the calculated excitation energies. Taking these effects into account, the best agreement between calculated and measured excitation energies was obtained with TDCP-DFT and GW-BSE. We also calculated excitation energies of molecular crystals at the TDCP-DFT level and compared the results to the corresponding monomers.

Abstract
CONTEXT Quantum mechanical calculations involving electron correlation, frequency dispersion, and solvent effects were carried out to examine the second-order nonlinear optical response of various acceptor, X (-CF3, -CN, -NO2) substituted in N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) and julolidine(JLD). Here, both DMA and JLD acts as donor and the three substituted groups, X (-CF3, -CN and -NO2) at the para position of both the ring systems as acceptor. The NLO response (βHRS) of -CF3 and -CN substituted DMA and JLD is relatively lower compared to DMA-NO2 and JLD-NO2. The charge distribution is found higher in case of -NO2 substituted DMA and JLD (±443 and ±449) compared to their -CF3 or -CN substitution. Electronic characteristics such as UV-Vis absorption spectra, crucial excited state parameters and charge transfer contribution to βHRS have been used to explain the NLO parameter of DMA-X and JLD-X. Variation of the incident optical frequency of light shows fluctuation of βHRS value and highest values of βHRS are obtain at the λmax frequency of each compound. Solvent polarity variation study on βHRS shows that βHRS varies linearly with the Kirkwood-Onsagar dielectric factor (D). METHODS All computational studies have been carried out using density functional theory (DFT) based method. Since CAM-B3LYP based hybrid functional improves the asymptotic behavior of the exchange interaction by dividing into short-range and long-range components, first hyperpolarizability values in the present study were computed using DFT/ CAM-B3LYP/ 6-31G+(d,p) level of theory.

Abstract
The second-order nonlinear optical properties of four series of amphiphilic cationic chromophores involving different push-pull extremities and increasingly large polyenic bridges have been investigated both experimentally, by means of electric field induced second harmonic (EFISH) generation, and theoretically, using a computational approach combining classical molecular dynamics (MD) and quantum chemical (QM) calculations. This theoretical methodology allows to describe the effects of structural fluctuations on the EFISH properties of the complexes formed by the dye and its iodine counterion, and provides a rationale to EFISH measurements. The good agreement between experimental and theoretical results proves that this MD + QM scheme constitutes a useful tool for a rational, computer-aided, design of SHG dyes.

Abstract
Although χ(2) nonlinear optical processes, such as difference frequency generation (DFG), are often used in conjunction with fiber lasers for wavelength conversion and photon-pair generation, the monolithic fiber architecture is broken by the use of bulk crystals to access χ(2). We propose a novel solution by employing quasi-phase matching (QPM) in molecular-engineered hydrogen-free, polar-liquid core fiber (LCF). Hydrogen-free molecules offer attractive transmission in certain NIR-MIR regions and polar molecules tend to align with an externally applied electrostatic field creating a macroscopic χ e f f(2). To further increase χ e f f(2) we investigate charge transfer (CT) molecules in solution. Using numerical modeling we investigate two bromotrichloromethane based mixtures and show that the LCF has reasonably high NIR-MIR transmission and large QPM DFG electrode period. The inclusion of CT molecules has the potential to yield χ e f f(2) at least as large as has been measured in silica fiber core. Numerical modeling for the degenerate DFG case indicates that signal amplification and generation through QPM DFG can achieve nearly 90% efficiency.

Revealing the Reasons for Degeneration of Resonance-Assisted Hydrogen Bond on the Aromatic Platform: Calculations of Ortho-, Meta-, Para-Disubstituted Benzenes, and ( Z)-( E)-Olefins. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28020536. [PMID: 36677595 PMCID: PMC9860835 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28020536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The energies of the O-H∙∙∙O=C intramolecular hydrogen bonds were compared quantitatively for the series of ortho-disubstituted benzenes and Z-isomers of olefins via a molecular tailoring approach. It was established that the hydrogen bond energy in the former series is significantly less than that in the latter one. The reason for lowering the hydrogen bond energy in the ortho-disubstituted benzenes compared to the Z-isomers of olefins is the decrease in the π-contribution to the total energy of the complex interaction, in which the hydrogen bond per se is enhanced by the resonance effect. By the example of the para- and meta-disubstituted benzenes, as well as E-isomers of olefins, it was explicitly shown that the aromatic ring is a much poorer conductor of the resonance effect compared to the double bond. The hydrogen bond in the ortho-disubstituted benzenes has a lower energy than a typical resonance-assisted hydrogen bond because the aromatic moiety cannot properly assist the hydrogen bond with a resonance effect. Thus, a hydrogen bond on an aromatic platform should fall into a special category, namely an aromaticity-assisted hydrogen bond, which is closer by nature to a simple hydrogen bond rather than to a resonance-assisted one.

Abstract
The 2,6-naphthoquinodimethane (2,6-NQDM) containing S-heterocyclic molecule 6-S was synthesized, and its dual open-shell diradical and dipolar characters were revealed via both experimental and theoretical studies. Unlike the shorter p-quinodimethane (p-QDM)-containing analogue 5-S, which possesses a closed-shell ground state (y0 = 0%) with small dipolar character, 6-S possesses enhanced dipolar character with a singlet diradical ground state (y0 = 23.3%) and a thermally accessible triplet excited state (ΔEST = -4.13 kcal/mol). Despite this, it displays good stability (t1/2 = 41days) under ambient air and light conditions due to its distinctive dipolar character and kinetic blocking of reactive sites.

Abstract
Organic compounds have been employed in developing new green energy solutions with good cost-efficiency compromise, such as photovoltaics. The light-harvesting process in these applications is a crucial feature that still needs improvements. Here, we studied natural dyes to propose an alternative for enhancing the light-harvesting capability of photovoltaics. We performed density functional theory calculations to investigate the electronic and optical properties of the four natural dyes found in achiote seeds (Bixa orellana L.). Different DFT functionals, and basis sets, were used to calculate the electronic and optical properties of the bixin, norbixin, and their trans-isomers (molecules present in Bixa orellana L.). We observed that the planarity of the molecules and their similar extension for the conjugation pathways provide substantially delocalized wavefunctions of the frontier orbitals and similar values for their energies. Our findings also revealed a strong absorption peak in the blue region and an absorption band over the visible spectrum. These results indicate that Bixa orellana L. molecules can be good candidates for improving light-harvesting in photovoltaics.

Abstract
A series of highly functionalized pyrazole derivatives has been prepared by a one-pot, versatile and regioselective procedure. Pyrazoles 1-29 were tested in cell-based assay to assess their antiproliferative activity against a panel of tumour cells. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of prepared compounds was evaluated against normal human fibroblasts. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized molecules emerged to be affected by the nature of the substituents of the pyrazole scaffold and derivatives 21-23 proved to inhibit the growth of melanoma and cervical cancer cells. Compound 23 was identified as the most active derivative and docking simulations predicted its ability to interact with estrogen receptors.

Abstract
A series of D-π-A, D-π-D'-π-A, D-π-A'-π-A nonlinear optical chromophores with vinylene π-electron bridges or bridges with π-deficient/π-excessive heterocyclic moieties along with the corresponding precursors D-vinylene, D-π-D', D'-π-A, D-π-A' and A'-π-A are synthesized and studied both experimentally and computationally. The effect of the heterocycle in the π-electron bridge on the oxidation/reduction potentials and the energy gap (ΔEel ) is investigated in detail. The properties of the D-π-A'(D')-π-A chromophores are shown to correlate with those of building blocks: the oxidation potential is determined by the D-vinylene, and the reduction potential is determined by A'(D')-π-A truncated compounds. The contribution of the acceptor to the oxidation potential of chromophores in comparison with those of the precursors was estimated and analyzed in terms of electronic communication between the end groups. A good correlation between the ΔEel and the chromophores' first hyperpolarizability is revealed.

Abstract
Electrical-to-optical signal conversion is widely employed in information technology and is implemented using on-chip optical modulators. State-of-the-art modulator technologies are incompatible with silicon manufacturing techniques: inorganic nonlinear crystals such as LiNbO3 are integrated with silicon photonic chips only using complex approaches, and hybrid silicon-LiNbO3 optical modulators show either low bandwidth or high operating voltage. Organic perovskites are solution-processed materials readily integrated with silicon photonics; and organic molecules embedded within the perovskite scaffold allow in principle for high polarizability. However, it is found that the large molecules required for high polarizability also require an increase of the size of the perovskite cavity: specifically, using the highly polarizable DR2+ (R = H, F, Cl) in the A site necessitates the exploration of new X-site options. Only by introducing BF4 - as the X-site molecule is it possible to synthesize (DCl)(NH4 )(BF4 )3 , a material exhibiting a linear EO coefficient of 20 pm V-1 , which is 10 times higher than that of metal halide perovskites and is a 1.5 fold enhancement compared to reported organic perovskites. The EO response of the organic perovskite approaches that of LiNbO3 (reff ≈ 30 pm V-1 ) and highlights the promise of rationally designed organic perovskites for use in efficient EO modulators.

Abstract
There is an exigency of adopting machine learning techniques to screen and discover new materials which could address many societal and technological challenges. In this work, we follow this trend and employ machine learning to study (high-order) electric properties of organic compounds. The results of quantum-chemistry calculations of polarizability and first hyperpolarizability, obtained for more than 50,000 compounds, served as targets for machine learning-based predictions. The studied set of molecular structures encompasses organic push-pull molecules with variable linker lengths. Moreover, the diversified set of linkers, composed of alternating single/double and single/triple carbon-carbon bonds, was considered. This study demonstrates that the applied machine learning strategy allows us to obtain the correlation coefficients, between predicted and reference values of (hyper)polarizabilities, exceeding 0.9 on training, validation, and test set. However, in order to achieve such satisfactory predictive power, one needs to choose the training set appropriately, as the machine learning methods are very sensitive to the linker-type diversity in the training set, yielding catastrophic predictions in certain cases. Furthermore, the dependence of (hyper)polarizability on the length of spacers was studied in detail, allowing for explanation of the appreciably high accuracy of employed approaches.

Abstract
Multiple theoretical investigations on three new series of donor-bridge-acceptor substituted compounds are employed to aid in the design of NLO-phores with high first-hyperpolarizability β. The effect of varying the acceptor (rhodanine, thiohydantoin and thiobarbituric acid derivative-based) and bridge parts of these D-π-A systems was analyzed in terms of geometric and optoelectronic parameters such as bond length alternation, ground state dipole moments, HOMO and LUMO energies, UV-vis absorption spectra, transition dipole moments, and electronic absorption energies. Various functionals with the AUG-cc-pVDZ basis set including B3LYP, PBE38, and ωB97XD, and the Hartree-Fock method were employed to calculate β values, and the solvent effect was also considered by employing the SMD model. The variation of first-hyperpolarizabilities has been explained satisfactorily in terms of the PBE38/AUG-cc-pVDZ level calculated spectroscopic properties in the light of the sum-over-states method and the two-level model. The comprehensive study indicates that the most worthwhile targets for development as NLO-phores are compounds that include a longer π-bridge.

Abstract
In this work, we report the experimental and theoretical first molecular electronic hyperpolarizability (β HRS) of eleven π-conjugated oxazoles compounds in toluene medium. The Hyper-Rayleigh Scattering (HRS) technique allowed the determination of the experimental dynamic β HRS values, by exciting the compounds with a picosecond pulse trains from a Q-switched and mode-locked Nd:YAG laser tuned at 1064 nm. Theoretical predictions based on time-dependent density functional theory level using the Gaussian 09 program package were performed with three different functionals (B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP, and M06-2X), to calculate both static and dynamic theoretical β HRS values. Good accordance was found between the experimental and theoretical values, in particular for the CAM-B3LYP and M06-2X functionals.

Abstract
Nature has engineered exquisitely responsive systems where molecular-scale information is transferred across an interface and propagated over long length scales. Such systems rely on multiple interacting, signalling and adaptable molecular and supramolecular networks that are built on dynamic, non-equilibrium structures. Comparable synthetic systems are still in their infancy. Here, we demonstrate that the light-induced actuation of a molecularly thin interfacial layer, assembled from a hydrophilic- azobenzene -hydrophobic diblock copolymer, can result in a reversible, long-lived perturbation of a robust glassy membrane across a range of over 500 chemical bonds. We show that the out-of-equilibrium actuation is caused by the photochemical trans-cis isomerization of the azo group, a single chemical functionality, in the middle of the interfacial layer. The principles proposed here are implemented in water-dispersed nanocapsules, and have implications for on-demand release of embedded cargo molecules.

Abstract
In this article, we describe the synthesis, redox characteristics, and linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of seven new unsymmetrical push-pull diacetylide platinum-based complexes. These D-π-Pt-π-A complexes incorporate pyranylidene ligands as pro-aromatic donor groups (D), diazine rings as electron-withdrawing groups (A), and various aromatic fragments (styryl or thienylvinyl) as π-linkers separating the platinum diacetylide unit from the donor and the acceptor groups. This is one of the first examples of push-pull chromophores incorporating a platinum center in the π-conjugated core. The NLO properties of these complexes were compared with those of their purely organic analogues. All compounds (organic and organometallic) exhibited positive μβ values, which dramatically increased upon methylation of the pyrimidine fragment. However, this increase was even more significant in the complexes due to the presence of platinum in the π-conjugated core. The effects of the linker on the redox and spectroscopic properties of the complexes are also discussed. In addition, DFT calculations were performed in order to gain further insight into the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) occurring through the platinum center.

Abstract
Long-term creative approaches have been considered in the design of molecular probes to overcome the quenching effect of important dyes in an aqueous medium. Using the rational donor-acceptor based design principle, we demonstrate herein the different fluorescence states of a non-conjugated symmetrical perylene-azacrown ether system in a solution, from the molecular to the aggregated states. The ethylene-spacer is exceptionally capable of fluorescence enhancement, even in the aggregated state (organic nanoparticle, ONPs, 44 nm), overcoming the quenching effect on changing the solvent from tetrahydrofuran to water. The ONPs with crown ether receptors at the surface show colloidal stability in an aqueous solution. Furthermore, an improved fluorescent state is developed via ONPs-polymer (protamine, Pro) hybridization. Supramolecular interactions between the crown ring and the guanidinium group in Pro play an important role in the ONPs-Pro hybrid formation. The decorated fluorescent hybrid state is finally used as a nano-probe for sensing heparin via the turn-OFF mechanism. The decoration method is further generalized by recognition of the nucleotides. Herein, we detail the bottom-up approach to the molecular design and development of the different fluorescent states of a useful probe. Most excitingly, this new approach is very general and adaptive to facile detection.

Abstract
There have been exciting developments in the field of polymer solar cells (PSCs) as the potential competitor to the traditional silicon-based solar cells in the past decades. The most successful PSCs are based on the bulk hetero-junction (BHJ) structure, which contains a bicontinuous nanoscale interpenetrating network of a conjugated polymer and a fullerene blend. The power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of BHJ PSCs have now exceeded 11%. In this review, we present an overview of recent emerging developments of narrow bandgap conjugated polymers for PSCs. We focus on a few important acceptors used in the donor-acceptor type conjugated polymers for highly efficient PSCs. We also reviewed the emerged donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) side chains polymers. The band-gaps and energy levels as well as the photovoltaic performances of conjugated polymers are discussed.

Abstract
Octopolar D2-symmetric chromophores, based on the MPZnM supermolecular motif in which (porphinato)zinc(II) (PZn) and ruthenium(II) polypyridyl (M) structural units are connected via ethyne linkages, were synthesized. These structures take advantage of electron-rich meso-arylporphyrin or electron-poor meso-(perfluoroalkyl)porphyrin macrocycles, unsubstituted terpyridyl and 4'-pyrrolidinyl-2,2';6',2″-terpyridyl ligands, and modulation of metal(II) polypyridyl-to-(porphinato)zinc connectivity, to probe how electronic and geometric factors impact the measured hyperpolarizability. Transient absorption spectra obtained at early time delays (tdelay < 400 fs) demonstrate fast excited-state relaxation, and formation of a highly polarized T1 excited state; the T1 states of these chromophores display expansive, intense T1 → T n absorption manifolds that dominate the 800-1200 nm region of the NIR, long (μs) triplet-state lifetimes, and unusually large NIR excited absorptive extinction coefficients [ε(T1 → T n ) ∼ 105 M-1 cm-1]. Dynamic hyperpolarizability (βλ) values were determined from hyper-Rayleigh light scattering (HRS) measurements, carried out at multiple incident irradiation wavelengths spanning the 800-1500 nm spectral domain. The measured βHRS value (4600 ± 1200 × 10-30 esu) for one of these complexes, RuPZnRu, is the largest yet reported for any chromophore at a 1500 nm irradiation wavelength, highlighting that appropriate engineering of strong electronic coupling between multiple charge-transfer oscillators provides a critical design strategy to realize octopolar NLO chromophores exhibiting large βHRS values at telecom-relevant wavelengths. Generalized Thomas-Kuhn sum (TKS) rules were utilized to compute the effective excited-state-to-excited-state transition dipole moments from experimental linear-absorption spectra; these data were then utilized to compute hyperpolarizabilities as a function of frequency, that include two- and three-state contributions for both β zzz and β xzx tensor components to the RuPZnRu hyperpolarizability spectrum. This analysis predicts that the β zzz and β xzx tensor contributions to the RuPZnRu hyperpolarizability spectrum maximize near 1550 nm, in agreement with experimental data. The TKS analysis suggests that relative to analogous dipolar chromophores, octopolar supermolecules will be likely characterized by more intricate dependences of the measured hyperpolarizability upon irradiation wavelength due to the interactions among multiple different β tensor components.

Abstract
The title compound, 2-amino 4-picolinium 4-nitrobenzoate (2A4PNB), has been identified as a nonlinear optical material and its good quality single crystals were grown from methanol solution. It crystallizes in monoclinic system with the non-centro symmetric space group
Pc. Its structure and chemical compositions were confirmed by the X-ray diffraction and microanalysis studies, respectively. FTIR, UV-Visible-NIR, NMR and photoluminescence (PL) spectra have been recorded and extensive spectroscopic investigations have been carried out. The grown crystals have been subjected to micro hardness and photoconductivity studies to explore its physico chemical properties. The free radical scavenging activity of the complex has been determined against DPPH and H2O2 radicals. In addition, the quantum chemical studies were performed on the isolated 2A4PNB molecule using DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p) basis set.

Abstract
Photoinduced nonlinear optics phenomena in 1, 4- cis-polybutadiene have been investigated. Both an external electrostatic field as well as UV laser photoinducing light lead to enhancement of the local non-centrosymmetry determining optical second harmonic generation (SHG). Using ab initio quantum chemical calculations and experimental nonlinear optics data we have shown that there exist values of the external fields corresponding to the maximal SHG values. Low-temperature ordering (below 10 K) (due to decrease of thermoreorientation) and hydrostatic pressure-induced strength also favour photoinduced SHG. Time-resolved SHG measurements indicate an existence of at least two short-time components (about picosecond range), that may be caused by different mechanisms of the observed phenomenon. It has been shown both experimentally and theoretically that the degree of non-centrosymmetry for the corresponding butadiene bonds is closely connected with the UV-photoinducing power, temperature, hydrostatic pressure and delaying time between the photoinducing and probing beams.

Abstract
The gas-phase thermal tautomerization reaction between 2-hydroxypyridine (2-HPY) and 2-pyridone (2-PY) was investigated by applying 6-311++G** and aug-cc-pvdz basis sets incorporated into some density functional theory (DFT) and coupled cluster with singles and doubles (CCSD) methods. The geometrical structures, dipole moments, HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, total hyperpolarizability, kinetics and thermodynamics functions were monitored against the effects of the corrections imposed on these functionals. The small experimental energy difference between the two tautomers of 3.23 kJ/mol; was a real test of the accuracy of the applied levels of theory. M062X and CCSD methods predicted the preference of 2-HPY over 2-PY by 5-9 kJ/mol; while B3LYP functional favoured 2-PY by 1-3 kJ/mol. The CAM-B3LYP and ωB97XD functionals yielded mixed results depending on the basis set used. The source of preference of 2-HPY is the minimal steric hindrance and electrostatic repulsion that subdued the huge hyperconjugation in 2-PY. A 1,3-proton shift intramolecular gas-phase tautomerization yielded a high average activation of 137.152 kJ/mol; while the intermolecular mixed dimer interconversion gave an average barrier height of 30.844 kJ/mol. These findings are boosted by a natural bond orbital (NBO) technique. The low total hyperpolarizabilities of both tautomers mark out their poor nonlinear optical (NLO) behaviour. The enhancement of the total hyperpolarizability of 2-HPY over that of 2-PY is interpreted by the bond length alternation.

Abstract
π-Conjugation between heterocyclic donor (D) and acceptor (A) groups via a polymethine chain leads to dyes with dipole moments greater than 10 D. These dipole moments direct the self-assembly of the dyes into antiparallel dimer aggregates, even in dilute solution, with binding strengths that are far beyond those observed for other π-scaffolds whose self-assembly is driven primarily by dispersion forces. The combination of directionality and exceptional binding strength of dipolar interactions between D-π-A dyes indeed resembles the situation of the hydrogen bond. Thus, similar to the latter, dipolar interactions between merocyanine dyes, a unique class of D-π-A chromophores, can be utilized to construct sophisticated supramolecular architectures of predictable geometry, particularly in low polarity environments. For bis(merocyanine) dyes it has been demonstrated that the self-assembly pathway is encoded in the tether between the two constituent merocyanine chromophores. If the tether enables the antiparallel stacking of the two appended dyes, folding takes place, which may be followed by further self-assembly into extended H-aggregate π-stacks at higher concentrations in solvents of low polarity. For tethers that do not support folding, the formation of bimolecular complexes of four merocyanine units, cyclic oligomers, and supramolecular polymers has been observed. For the former case, that is, formation of a bimolecular stack of four merocyanine units from tweezer-type molecules, association constants >10(9) M(-1) were measured in chloroform. On the other hand, because only one π-face is utilized in the formation of supramolecular polymers from bis(merocyanine) dyes, higher hierarchical structures typically originate in which the other π-face is surrounded by an antiparallel π-stacked neighbor molecule. Among the observed self-assembled structures, nanorods in particular have attracted considerable attention because their self-assembly into well-defined H-aggregates falls under kinetic control and is slowed tremendously with decreasing solvent polarity. Co-assembly of achiral and chiral merocyanine building blocks or two enantiomers of a chiral merocyanine in different ratios provided insight into "majority rules" and "sergeant-and-soldiers" effects as well as the autocatalytic fiber growth process. With regard to materials applications, it is important to note that the high propensity for dipolar aggregation was disadvantageous for many envisioned applications of these dyes in the area of nonlinear optics. However, this aggregation behavior proved to be advantageous for the recently demonstrated applications of D-π-A dyes, in particular, merocyanines as p-type organic semiconductors in organic electronics and photovoltaics. Thus, organic transistors with hole mobilities >0.5 cm(2)/(V s) and organic solar cells with power conversion efficiencies >6% could be achieved with merocyanine-based organic semiconductor molecules.
