5-Arylazo-2,2´-bithiophenes: a novel promising series of NLO chromophores

View document

Bibliographic Details
Summary:The synthesis of 5-arylazo- substituted bithiophenes and their UV-visible, solvatochromic and nonlinear optical properties (NLO) are described. In agreement with the solvatochromic data and also with the second-order molecular NLO characterization, the new donor-acceptor systems could find application as suitable solvatochromic probes and also as new NLO materials.
