Abstract

Several nitro aromatic compounds bridged by an oxygen atom have been synthesized and their linear and nonlinear optical properties have been investigated. In one of the compounds (1), a powder SHG efficiency of 6.2 times of urea was observed while its absorption lies in the UV region. The highest molecular hyperpolarizability $\beta$, measured was $230\times10^{-30}$ for a compound (8f) with increased conjugation. Thermal stability of these compounds has been checked using differential scanning calorimetry and the decomposition temperature $(T_d)$ was found to be high and lying between $266-298^o\hspace{1mm}C$. These molecules have potential importance as thermally stable, visible-transparent second order NLO materials.
