Abstract
The fabrication and spectroscopic characterization of a self-assembled composite comprising the electron-donating 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-triethylammoniophenyl)porphyrin tetra(p-toluenesulfonate) (TTMAPP) and the electron-accepting graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet has been examined in an aqueous medium using different spectroscopic techniques. The fluorescence lifetime measurements demonstrated a notable reduction in the singlet excited state lifetimes of TTMAPP when combined with GO. Based on these measurements, the rate constant and efficiency of the electron transfer from TTMAPP to GO in an aqueous medium were quantified to be 3.3 × 109 s-1 and 96.9 %, respectively, indicating a rapid and highly efficient electron transfer process. The nonlinear optical properties of TTMAPP and GO@TTMAPP were explored using femtosecond laser pulses with varying excitation wavelengths and incident power levels, as analyzed through the Z-scan technique. The TTMAPP dye demonstrated a self-defocusing phenomenon in its nonlinear refractive index and exhibited reverse saturable absorption behavior in its nonlinear absorption coefficient. The real and imaginary parts of the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of the TTMAPP dye were determined to be approximately (4.75 × 10-13 esu). The results demonstrate that TTMAPP solutions exhibit a substantially high two-photon absorption cross-section across a range of excitation wavelengths. Furthermore, the incorporation of additional amounts of GO into the TTMAPP formulation led to a significant enhancement in the real and imaginary components of the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility within the composite material (11.15 × 10-13 esu). These findings suggest that the GO@TTMAPP composite holds promise as a candidate for various nonlinear optical applications, particularly in the realm of optical limiting.

Abstract
Geometries and electronic structures of planar and quasi-planar boron clusters resemble those of aromatic hydrocarbons, providing opportunities for designing novel nonlinear optical materials. However, the nonlinear optical properties, optical-response mechanisms, and optimal optical-response geometries of boron clusters remain unclear. Accordingly, this study addresses these uncertainties. Boron clusters exhibit good nonlinear optical performance, significantly surpassing that of aromatic hydrocarbons of comparable size. An analysis method based on electron density decomposition is proposed to quantitatively determine the contributions of σ- and π-electrons to the optical responses. The findings reveal that σ-electrons dominate the nonlinear optical responses in planar boron clusters owing to their delocalized characteristics, in marked contrast to aromatic hydrocarbons. Using boron isomers as model systems, boron nanoribbons were confirmed to provide optimal nonlinear optical performances. This study offers valuable insights into the nonlinear optical behaviors of planar and quasi-planar boron clusters, substantially enhancing the rational design of novel nonlinear optical materials.

Abstract
Novel styryl colorants based on anchoring methoxy with anthracene as a donor linked with various active methylene acceptor groups to derive a conjugated π-system along with push-pull geometry were synthesized and well characterized. Photophysical properties were studied in different polarity solvents. The impact of solvent polarizability is delivered in redshifts in absorption and emission spectra, in addition to enhancing the quantum yield. The benzoxazole and benzimidazole moieties in 4c and 4d demonstrated heat stability of more than 300 °C. Fluorescent intensity is directly proportional to the viscosity and 4a demonstrates a notable viscosity sensor through 1.36 fold increase in intensity. In comparison to other styryl dyes, 4c and 4d were shown to have higher values in DMSO for polarizability (53.3496 × 10-24 esu and 53.7459 × 10-24 esu) and first-order hyperpolarizability (86.3467 × 10-30 esu and 89.1941 × 10-30 esu) as well as second-order hyperpolarizability (1768.9121 × 10-36 esu and 1740.6940 × 10-36 esu) due to presence of heterocyclic character. NLO properties of all the styryl dyes 4a-4e are within the fundamental boundary limits. The 4d (benzoxazole) dye exhibited a small HOMO-LUMO energy gap of 2.8825 eV, whereas the 4b and 4e dyes had a larger band gap due to the presence of a carbonyl group.

Abstract
Two polyhedral silver-thiolate clusters, [S@Ag16(Tab)10(MeCN)8](PF6)14 (Ag16) and [Ag12(Tab)6(DMF)12](PF6)12 (Ag12), were synthesized by using electroneutral Tab species as protective ligands (Tab=4-(trimethylammonio)benzenethiolate, DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide, MeCN=acetonitrile). Ag16 has a decahedral shape composed of eight pentagon {Ag5} units and two square {Ag4} units. The structure of Ag12 is a cuboctahedron, a classical Archimedean structure composed of six triangular faces and eight square faces. The former configuration is discovered in silver-thiolate cluster for the first time, possibly benefited from the more flexible coordination between the Tab ligand and Ag+ facilitated by the electropositive -N(CH3)3 + substituent group. Third-order nonlinear optical studies show that both clusters in DMF exhibit reverse saturate absorption response under the irradiation of 532 nm laser.

Abstract
A novel series of alkaline earthides containing eight complexes based upon 36adz complexant are designed by placing carefully transition metals (V-Zn) on inner side and alkaline earth metal outer side of the complexant i.e., M+(36adz) Be- (M+ = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn). All the designed compounds are electronically and thermodynamically stable as evaluated by their interaction energy and vertical ionization potential respectively. Moreover, the true nature of alkaline earthides is verified through NBOs and FMO study, showing negative charge and excess electrons on alkaline earth metal respectively. Furthermore, true alkaline earthides characteristics are evaluated graphically by spectra of partial density state (PDOS). The energy gap (HOMO -LUMO gap) is very small (ranging 2.95 eV-1.89 eV), when it is compared with pure cage 36adz HOMO-LUMO gap i.e., 8.50 eV. All the complexes show a very small value of transition energy ranging from 1.68eV to 0.89eV. Also, these possess higher hyper polarizability values up to 2.8 x 105au (for Co+(36adz) Be-). Furthermore, an increase in hyper polarizability was observed by applying external electric field on complexes. The remarkable increase of 100fold in hyper polarizability of Zn+(36adz) Be- complex is determined after application of external electric field i.e., from 1.7 x 104 au to 1.7 x 106 au when complex is subjected to external electric field of 0.001 au strength. So, when external electric field is applied on complexes it enhances the charge transfer, polarizability and hyper polarizability of complexes and proves to be effective for designing of true alkaline earthides with remarkable NLO response.

Abstract
The second hyperpolarizabilities (γ) of the stilbene molecular switch in its trans and cis forms have been calculated using quantum chemistry methods to address their third-order nonlinear optical contrasts, to assess the reliability of lower-cost DFT methods, and to make comparisons with experiments. First, the reference CCSD(T) method shows that trans-stilbene presents a γ‖ value twice larger than its cis isomer (its γTHS value is 2.7 times larger). Among more cost-effective methods, reliable results are obtained at MP2 as well as with DFT, provided the CAM-B3LYP or ωB97X-D XCFs are employed. Supplementary DFT calculations have investigated the relationships between the accuracy of the exchange-correlation functionals, the fulfillment of Koopmans' theorem, and the delocalization error, and they demonstrated that satisfying Koopmans' theorem is not the condition for the best accuracy but that functionals with small delocalization errors are generally efficient. Using the selected CAM-B3LYP, large γ enhancements by about 70% (trans-stilbene) and 50% (cis-stilbene) have been evidenced when accounting for solvent effects using an implicit solvation model (IEFPCM), even for apolar solvents. Then, the frequency dispersion of the γ responses has been described using Bishop polynomial expansions, allowing comparisons with a broad set of experimental data. To a certain extent, no systematic agreement between the calculations and the measured values was found. On the one hand, the agreement is satisfactory for the γ(-ω;ω,-ω,ω) quantities, provided that the dominant vibrational contribution is taken into account. On the other hand, the agreement is poor for the γ(-2ω;ω,ω,0) and γ(-3ω;ω,ω,ω) quantities, while some inconsistencies between experimental values are also highlighted.

Abstract
Two isomeric pentacene dimers, each linked by a diamantane spacer, have been synthesized. These dimers are designed to provide experimental evidence to support quantum mechanical calculations, which predict the substitution pattern on the carbon-rich diethynyldiamantane spacer to be decisive in controlling the interpentacene coupling. Intramolecular singlet fission (i-SF) serves as a probe for the existence and strength of the electronic coupling between the two pentacenes, with transient absorption spectroscopy as the method of choice to characterize i-SF. 4,9-Substitution of diamantane provides a pentacene dimer (4,9-dimer) in which the two chromophores are completely decoupled and that, following photoexcitation, deactivates to the ground state analogous to a monomeric pentacene chromophore. Conversely, 1,6-substitution provides a pentacene dimer (1,6-dimer) that exhibits sufficiently strong coupling to drive i-SF, resulting in correlated triplet M(T1T1) yields close to unity and free triplet (T1 + T1) yields of ca. 50%. Thus, the diamantane spacer effectively switches "on" or "off" the coupling between the chromophores, based on the substitution pattern. The binary control of diamantane contrasts other known molecular spacers designed only to modulate the coupling strength between two pentacenes.

Abstract
Achieving metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with nonlinear optical (NLO) switching is profoundly important. Herein, the conductive MOFs Cu-TCNQ phase I (Ph-I) and phase II (Ph-II) films were prepared using the liquid-phase-epitaxial layer-by-layer spin-coating method and steam heating method, respectively. Electronic experiments showed that the Ph-II film could be changed into the Ph-I film under an applied electric field. The third-order NLO results revealed that the Ph-I film had a third-order nonlinear reverse saturation absorption (RSA) response and the Ph-II film displayed a third-order nonlinear saturation absorption (SA) response. With increases in the heating time and applied voltage, the third-order NLO response realized the reversible transition between SA and RSA. The theoretical calculations indicated that Ph-I possessed more interlayer charge transfer, resulting in a third-order nonlinear RSA response that was stronger than that of Ph-II. This work applies phase-transformed MOFs to third-order NLO switching and provides new insights into the nonlinear photoelectric applications of MOFs.

Abstract
Harnessing the quadratic electro-optic (QEO) of near-infrared polymethine chromophores over broad telecom wavelength bands is a subject of immense potential but remains largely under-investigated. Herein a series of push-pull heptamethines containing the tricyanofuran (TCF) acceptors and indoline or benzo[e]indoline donors are reported. These dipolar chromophores can attain a highly delocalized "cyanine-like" electronic ground state in solvents spanning a wide range of polarities, in some cases even closer to the ideal polymethine state than symmetrical cyanines. A transmission-mode electromodulation spectroscopy is used to study the electric-field-induced changes in optical absorption and refraction of polymer films doped with heptamethine chromophores, and large and thermally stable QEO effect with high efficiency-loss figure-of-merits that compare favorably to those from dipolar polyenes in poled or unpoled polymers and III-V semiconductors is obtained. The study opens a path for developing organic materials based on cyanine-like merocyanines for complementary metal oxide semiconductor -compatible, fast, efficient, and low-loss electro-optic modulation.

Abstract
Owing to strong quantum confinement effects and no periodic constraints, the geometric and electronic structures of silicon clusters differ from those of crystalline silicon. Although previous studies have elucidated the optical properties of silicon clusters, some issues remain unresolved. To address these, this study examined the size-dependent linear and nonlinear optical responses of silicon clusters through first-principles calculations. Silicon clusters exhibited lone-pair-electron-dominated optical response behaviors. With the investigated size range, the orientationally average polarizability (αave) and second-order hyperpolarizability (γave) increased with cluster size. However, αave and γave per atom exhibited no evident size-dependent trends owing to co-modulation of the lone-pair-number-to-atomic-number ratio and geometry. αave and γave were notably sensitive to the nuclear binding strength of lone-pair electrons. Thus, the nonlinear optical effects of silicon clusters are superior to those of phosphorus and sulfur clusters. This investigation offers valuable insights into the optical responses of atomic-precision clusters.

Abstract
Sulfur clusters have abundant lone-pair electrons, tunable geometries, and electronic structures, thus providing a new concept for achieving a tradeoff between transparency and nonlinearity. In this study, the optical properties of the sulfur clusters were investigated through first-principles calculations. Sulfur clusters exhibit broad transmittance bands spanning from the visible to the far-infrared regions, moderate third-order nonlinear optical effects comparable to those of p-nitroaniline, and size-dependent third-order nonlinear anisotropy. Furthermore, this study demonstrated that the nonlinear optical responses of lone-pair electrons are sensitive to the nuclear binding strength. By tuning the nuclear binding strength using an external electric field, the third-order nonlinear optical responses of the sulfur clusters were improved considerably and yielded a moderate red shift in the transparent bands. This investigation of the optical behaviors of sulfur clusters provides profound physical insights into the development of nonlinear optical materials with lone-pair electrons.

Abstract
Although the synthesis of low-dimensional metal sulfides by assembling cluster-based units is expected to promote the development of optical materials and models of enzyme active centers such as dinitrogenase, it is faced with limited assembly methodology. Herein we present a cut-to-link strategy to generate high-nuclearity assemblies, inspired by the formation of a Z-type dimer of the W-S-Cu analogues of PN cluster through in situ release of active linkers. Four new compounds with structures based on the same {Tp*WS3Cu3} incomplete cubane-like units were obtained using varied combinations of mild reagents. Open-aperture Z-scan measurements demonstrated the highest-nuclearity complex has the largest nonlinear optical absorption coefficient among discrete cluster-based materials reported to date. This approach enables building high-nuclearity metal sulfide clusters through cluster-based building blocks and opens a way to the design and exploration of materials based on well-identified building blocks.

Abstract
Coumarin-based fluorescent agents play an important role in the manifold fundamental scientific and technological areas and need to be carefully studied. In this research, linear photophysics, photochemistry, fast vibronic relaxations, and two-photon absorption (2PA) of the coumarin derivatives, methyl 4-[2-(7-methoxy-2-oxo-chromen-3-yl)thiazol-4-yl]butanoate (1) and methyl 4-[4-[2-(7-methoxy-2-oxo-chromen-3-yl)thiazol-4-yl]phenoxy]butanoate (2), were comprehensively analyzed using stationary and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques, along with quantum-chemical calculations. The steady-state one-photon absorption, fluorescence emission, and excitation anisotropy spectra, as well as 3D fluorescence maps of 3-hetarylcoumarins 1 and 2 were obtained at room temperature in solvents of different polarities. The nature of relatively large Stokes shifts (∼4000-6000 cm-1), specific solvatochromic behavior, weak electronic π → π* transitions, and adherence to Kasha's rule were revealed. The photochemical stability of 1 and 2 was explored quantitatively, and values of photodecomposition quantum yields, on the order of ∼10-4, were determined. A femtosecond transient absorption pump-probe technique was used for the investigation of fast vibronic relaxation and excited-state absorption processes in 1 and 2, while the possibility of efficient optical gain was shown for 1 in acetonitrile. The degenerate 2PA spectra of 1 and 2 were measured by an open aperture z-scan method, and the maximum 2PA cross-sections of ∼300 GM were obtained. The electronic nature of the hetaryl coumarins was analyzed by quantum-chemical calculations using DFT/TD-DFT level of theory and was found to be in good agreement with experimental data.

Abstract
To enhance understanding of the correlation between the intermolecular interaction and second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, we studied a "molecular tweezer" with two corannulene substituents linked by a tetrahydro[5]helicene imide, which enabled highly sensitive and selective complexation of C60/C70 through convex-concave π-π interactions. The geometric structure, molecular orbitals, intermolecular interactions, electron absorption spectra and second-order NLO properties of the charge-transfer (CT) complexes formed by molecular tweezers and C60/C70 were studied by density functional theory. Larger fullerenes helped to increase the intermolecular interaction and CT, thereby increasing the first hyperpolarizabilities of CT complexes. Embedding of lithium ions helped to enhance the electron-absorption ability of fullerenes, thereby increasing the intermolecular interaction and intermolecular CT and, thus, enhancing their first hyperpolarizability significantly. Our data indicated that, through structure adjustment (including increasing the volume of fullerene and embedding alkali metal ions), we could enhance intermolecular interactions and improve intermolecular CT significantly. These actions could improve the second-order NLO properties of CT complexes.

Abstract
Herein, the combination of anionic Zr4L6 (L = embonate) cages and N, N-chelated transition-metal cations leads to a series of new cage-based architectures, including ion pair structures (PTC-355 and PTC-356), dimer (PTC-357), and 3D frameworks (PTC-358 and PTC-359). Structural analyses show that PTC-358 exhibits a 2-fold interpenetrating framework with a 3,4-connected topology, and PTC-359 shows a 2-fold interpenetrating framework with a 4-connected dia network. Both PTC-358 and PTC-359 can be stable in air and other common solvents at room temperature. The investigations of third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties indicate that these materials show different degrees of optical limiting effects. It is surprising that increasing coordination interactions between anion and cation moieties can effectively enhance their third-order NLO properties, which can be attributed to the formation of coordination bonds that facilitate charge transfer. In addition, the phase purity, UV-vis spectra, and photocurrent properties of these materials were also studied. This work provides new ideas for the construction of third-order NLO materials.

Abstract
The lowest bright electronic excitations of seven model linear cyanines (CN3-CN15) using 28 double-hybrid (DH) density functionals are benchmarked against accurate and recent CC3 results. Some of these DH functionals are recently designed specifically for excited electronic state calculations. In addition, CIS, CIS(D), SCS-CIS(D), and SOS-CIS(D) were also tested. Four different basis sets were used for the vertical electronic excitation calculations: cc-pVDZ, aug-cc-pVDZ, cc-pVTZ, and aug-cc-pVTZ basis. Augmented basis sets (e.g. aug-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ) are found to be required for accurate and consistent results using DH functionals. The DH functionals tested in this work are classified into four main groups: global double-hybrids (GDH), range-separated double-hybrids (RSDH), spin-component and spin-opposite scaling global double-hybrids (SCS/SOS-GDH), and spin-component and spin-opposite scaling range-separated double-hybrids (SCS/SOS-RSDH). Within these groups, the SCS/SOS-RSDH group of functionals is found to provide the lowest mean absolute error (MAE) values (in the range 0.020-0.148 eV) in comparison with the GDH group (0.195-0.441 eV), the RSDH group (0.186-0.511 eV), and the SCS/SOS-GDH group (0.079-0.461 eV). Of all the DH functionals and ab initio methods investigated in the present contribution, the following functionals are found to be the most accurate and consistent: SCS-ωB2GPPLYP (MAE = 0.036 eV), SOS-ωB2GPPLYP (MAE = 0.020 eV), SOS-ωB88PP86 (MAE = 0.035 eV), and SOS-ωPBEPP86 (MAE = 0.037 eV). In general, the ab initio methods tested here show mediocre performance as compared to many DH functionals.

Abstract
Formation of organic co-crystals is an effective strategy to synthesize near infrared emission and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, which often show "1 + 1 > 2" performance. Moreover, the crystallization process can be effectively regulated through supramolecular interactions; thus the properties of co-crystal materials can also be flexibly regulated. Here, in order to further understand the nature and formation mechanism of co-crystals from the perspective of theoretical research, we studied the structures, intermolecular interactions, absorption spectra, charge transfer (CT) characteristics and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the newly synthesized organic co-crystals formed between naphthalenediimide based triangles (NDI, acceptor) and coronene (COR, donor). According to the analysis of decomposition of intermolecular interaction energy, dispersion energy played a major role, so the co-crystal properties can be regulated by regulating the intermolecular dispersion energy. More importantly, the formation of co-crystals NDI-COR and NDI-2COR reduced the Egap values with respect to those of their components. And there was significant intermolecular CT from COR to NDI and the degree of CT in NDI-COR was larger than that in NDI-2COR, so that the αtot and γtot values of NDI-COR and NDI-2COR were significantly greater than those of their components. Thus, the NLO properties of organic co-crystals can be further improved by enhancing the electron-donating ability of the donor and the electron-withdrawing ability of the acceptor to enhance the degree of intermolecular interaction energy and CT.

Abstract
For the advancement of laser technologies and optical engineering, various types of new inorganic and organic materials are emerging. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) reveal a promising use in nonlinear optics, given the presence of organic linkers, metal cluster nodes, and possible delocalization of π-electron systems. These properties can be further enhanced by the inclusion of solely inorganic materials such as polyoxometalates as prospective low-cost electron-acceptor species. In this study, a novel hybrid nanocomposite, namely, SiW12@NU-1000 composed of SiW12 (H4SiW12O40) and Zr-based MOF (NU-1000), was assembled, completely characterized, and thoroughly investigated in terms of its nonlinear optical (NLO) performance. The third-order NLO behavior of the developed system was assessed by Z-scan measurements using a 532 nm laser. The effect of two-photon absorption and self-focusing was significant in both NU-1000 and SiW12@NU-1000. Experimental studies suggested a much superior NLO performance of SiW12@NU-1000 if compared to that of NU-1000, which can be assigned to the charge-energy transfer between SiW12 and NU-1000. Negligible light scattering, good stability, and facile postsynthetic fabrication method can promote the applicability of the SiW12@NU-1000 nanocomposite for various optoelectronic purposes. This research may thus open new horizons to improve and enhance the NLO performance of MOF-based materials through π-electron delocalization and compositing metal-organic networks with inorganic molecules as electron acceptors, paving the way for the generation of novel types of hybrid materials for prospective NLO applications.

Abstract
Intramolecular charge transfer and excited-state symmetry breaking have a significant effect on the nonlinear optical properties of multipolar chromophores. Rigid and nonplanar perylene bisimide derivatives (PBIs) functionalized at bay positions were comparatively and comprehensively investigated. In apolar solvents, two quadrupolar molecular rotors showed an obvious decrease of the A0-0/A0-1 ratios, suggesting strong exciton coupling with the adjacent PBI units initiated by the π-π stacking. The vanishment of the preferable dimer emission in polar solvents supported the plausible phenomena of excited-state symmetry breaking, thanks to the facile rotation around the rigid linkers. Comparative femtosecond transition absorption studies confirmed their notable differences in relaxation dynamics and the generation of radical anions (PBI•-) and cations (PBI•+). The maxima two-photon absorption (2PA) wavelengths obtained for the molecular rotors were slightly red-shifted to 670 nm with intrinsic resonance-enhanced characteristics, reflecting the synergistic effect of functional positions and molecular architectures. Meanwhile, the obvious increase of significant 2PA cross-section values in polar solvents illustrated the stabilization of the symmetry-broken dipolar states. Further femtosecond Z-scan also manifested the contribution of excited-state dynamics on the nonlinear optical properties of multipolar chromophores.

Abstract
The nature of linear photophysical and nonlinear optical properties of a new squaraine derivative 2,4-bis[4-(azetidyl)-2-hydroxyphenyl]squaraine (1) with efficient near-infrared (NIR) emission was comprehensively analyzed based on spectroscopic, photochemical, and two-photon absorption (2PA) measurements, along with quantum chemical analysis. The steady-state absorption, fluorescence, and excitation anisotropy spectra of 1 and its fluorescence emission lifetimes revealed the multiple aspects of the electronic structure of 1, including the relative orientations of the main transition dipoles, effective rotational volumes in solvents of different polarities, and a maximum molar extinction of 1.35 × 10-5 M-1·cm-1, which is unusually small for similar symmetric squaraines. The degenerate 2PA spectrum of 1 was obtained over a broad spectral range under femtosecond excitation, using standard open-aperture Z-scan and two-photon induced fluorescence methods, revealing maximum 2PA cross sections of ∼400 GM. Squaraine 1 exhibited efficient superluminescence emission in the polar solvent (dichloromethane) at room temperature under femtosecond pumping conditions. Quantum chemical analysis of the electronic structure of 1 was performed using the DFT/TD-DFT level of theory and found to be in good agreement with experimental data.

Abstract
A series of catecholate-functionalized titanium-oxo clusters (TOCs), PTC-271 to PTC-277, with atomically precise structures were synthesized and characterized, including distinctive "boat" and "chair" conformations in PTC-273 and PTC-274, respectively. These cluster compounds are prominent for their ultralow optical band gaps, as is visually evident from the rather unusual black TOCs (B-TOCs), PTC-272 to PTC-277. The cluster structures were found to be ultrastable with respect to air, water, organic solvents, and even acidic or basic aqueous solutions in a wide pH range (pH 0-13), owing to the stabilizing effects of catecholate and its derivatives, as well as the carboxylate ligands. Another prominent feature is the occurrence of third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) performance, which has previously been unreported in the field of homometallic titanium-oxo clusters. Open-aperture Z-scan experiments show significant solid-state optical limiting (OL) applications of these B-TOCs, with high laser irradiation stability and low minimum normalized transmittance (Tmin) of PTC-273 as ∼0.17. Meanwhile, theoretical calculations indicate that the smaller band gaps of B-TOCs were beneficial for strengthening the NLO response. This work not only represents a significant milestone in the construction of stable low-band gap black titanium oxide materials but also contributes to the mechanism insights into their optical applications.

Quantum–Classical Mechanics: Nano-Resonance in Polymethine Dyes. MATHEMATICS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/math10091443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
It is well known in quantum mechanics that the theory of quantum transitions is based on the convergence of the series of time-dependent perturbation theory. This series converges in atomic and nuclear physics. However, in molecular and chemical physics, this series converges only in the Born–Oppenheimer adiabatic approximation and due to the application of the Franck–Condon principle, and it diverges as a result of going beyond the adiabatic approximation and the Franck–Condon principle. This divergence (singularity) is associated with the incommensurability of the masses of light electrons and heavy nuclei which jointly participate in the full-fledged movement in the transient state of molecular “quantum” transitions. In a new physical theory—quantum–classical mechanics (Egorov, V.V. Heliyon Physics 2019, 5, e02579)—this singularity is damped by introducing chaos into the transient state. This transient chaos is introduced by replacing the infinitely small imaginary additive in the energy denominator of the spectral representation of the total Green’s function of the system with a finite value and is called dozy chaos. In this article, resonance at the nanoscale (nano-resonance) between electron and nuclear reorganization motions in the quantum–classical (dozy-chaos) mechanics of elementary electron transfers in condensed media and their applications to polymethine dyes and J-aggregates in solutions are reviewed. Nano-resonance explains the resonant character of the transformation of the shape of the optical absorption band in a series of polymethine dyes in which the length of the polymethine chain changes, as well as the nature of the red-shifted absorption band of the J-aggregates of polymethine dyes (J-band), which is narrow and intense. The process of dye aggregation in an aqueous solution with an increase in its concentration by the formation of J-aggregates is considered a structural tuning of the “polymethine dye + environment” system into resonance with light absorption. For J-aggregates in Langmuir films, the asymmetry of the luminescence and absorption bands, as well as the small value of their Stokes shifts, are explained. The parasitic transformation of the resonant shape of the optical absorption band of a polymethine dye in solution during the transition from one-photon to two-photon absorption is also explained, and the conditions for the restoration of this nano-resonance shape are predicted.

Abstract
Polymethine fluorophores have facilitated the advance of biological and material sciences, due to their advantageous photophysical properties. However, the need to maintain a monomeric state can severely limit the utility and processability of dyes. High concentrations of fluorophore can lead to aggregation and negate the beneficial photophysical properties of monomers. Another concern is "crossing the cyanine limit" in which delocalization within the polymethine scaffold is broken, producing the presence of an asymmetric state diminishing its photophysical behavior. Herein, we attempt to overcome these limitations by exploring anion exchange on a cationic flavylium heptamethine scaffold. By increasing the size and hydrophobicity of the anion, we can effectively tune the degree of ion pairing within the polymethine dye. Interestingly, we found that the effect of ion pairing on photophysical properties was subtle for the flavylium heptamethine scaffold in comparison to the more commonly used indolenine cyanine dye. Utilizing larger weakly coordinating anions enabled solubility of the flavylium heptamethine fluorophore in nonpolar solvents, which could otherwise not be achieved. Even with more subtle effects than classic cyanine dyes, anion exchange on flavylium polymethine dyes holds potential for further manipulation of the properties of these low energy dyes.

Abstract
Electron delocalization in aromatic materials significantly impacts their third-order nonlinear optics (NLO). Despite organometallic complexes with Craig-Möbius aromaticity attracting great attention for their unusual physicochemical properties, their third-order NLO have been little studied to date. Herein, 12 Craig-Möbius aromatic organometallics with a stable structure similar to osmapentalyne, namely, carbolong complexes, are screened by DFT. They exhibit high third-order NLO responses because of the d and p electron delocalization in the organometallic ring. Furthermore, electron-hole distribution analyses draw a conclusion that extending the conjugated plane will increase the π-conjugation system to enhance the local excitation in the plane, and the introduction of typical aromatic ligands can result in the organometallic ring-to-ligand charge transfer (RLCT), which are effective methods to improve the third-order NLO response. This study opens a new window in the application of Craig-Möbius aromatic complexes and provides a new approach for third-order NLO materials design.

Abstract
Molecules capable of mediating charge transport over several nanometers with minimal decay in conductance have fundamental and technological implications. Polymethine cyanine dyes are fascinating molecular wires because up to a critical length, they have no bond-length alternation (BLA) and their electronic structure resembles a one-dimensional free-electron gas. Beyond this threshold, they undergo a symmetry-breaking Peierls transition, which increases the HOMO-LUMO gap. We have investigated cationic cyanines with central polymethine chains of 5-13 carbon atoms (Cy3+-Cy11+). The absorption spectra and crystal structures show that symmetry breaking is sensitive to the polarity of the medium and the size of the counterion. X-ray crystallography reveals that Cy9·PF6 and Cy11·B(C6F5)4 are Peierls distorted, with high BLA at one end of the π-system, away from the partially delocalized positive charge. This pattern of BLA distribution resembles that of solitons in polyacetylene. The single-molecule conductance is essentially independent of molecular length for the polymethine salts of Cy3+-Cy11+ with the large B(C6F5)4- counterion, but with the PF6- counterion, the conductance decreases for the longer molecules, Cy7+-Cy11+, because this smaller anion polarizes the π-system, inducing a symmetry-breaking transition. At higher bias (0.9 V), the conductance of the shorter chains, Cy3+-Cy7+, increases with length (negative attenuation factor, β = -1.6 nm-1), but the conductance still drops in Cy9+ and Cy11+ with the small polarizing PF6- counteranion.

Abstract
Integrated optics (IO) is a field of photonics which focuses on manufacturing circuits similar to those in integrated electronics, but that work on an optical basis to establish means of faster data transfer and processing. Currently, the biggest task in IO is finding or manufacturing materials with the proper nonlinear optical characteristics to implement as active components in IO circuits. Using biological materials in IO has recently been proposed, the first material to be investigated for this purpose being the protein bacteriorhodopsin; however, since then, other proteins have also been considered, such as the photoactive yellow protein (PYP). In our current work, we directly demonstrate the all-optical switching capabilities of PYP films combined with an IO Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) for the first time. By exploiting photoreactions in the reaction cycle of PYP, we also show how a combination of exciting light beams can introduce an extra degree of freedom to control the operation of the device. Based on our results, we discuss how the special advantages of PYP can be utilized in future IO applications.

Abstract
Push-pull organic structures characterized by an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process and π-electron delocalization are potentially interesting luminescent materials. A series of three-dimensional o-carborane-containing perylene bisimide derivatives (PBIs) were synthesized, and their optical properties were systematically investigated to illustrate the stereo effect, especially on the two-photon absorption (2PA) and optical power limiting (OPL) properties. Open-aperture Z-scan curves showed that all four PBIs displayed strong and broad two-photon absorptivities based on the resonance-enhanced phenomenon. The maximum degenerate two-photon absorption cross section (δ2PA) increased with the number of PBI substituents. The derivative CB-PBI possessed a δ2PA value of ∼2400 GM at 650 nm, a significant enhancement in comparison with that of the parent PBI (∼719 GM), ascribed to the present stereo effect. When the aromatic-donating units changed from naphthyl and pyrenyl to PBI, the generated multidimensional intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from the aromatic units to the o-carborane cage contributed to the 2PA processes. All of the fluorophores exhibited excellent optical power limiting (OPL) performances as well as a minimum limiting threshold of ∼4.98 mJ/cm2 for CB-PBI. These significant results not only allow us to get deep insight into the nature of the fundamental stereo effect and nonlinear optical (NLO) response involved but also guide us toward the design of new multifunctional luminescent materials.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanostructures provide a new way to improve nonlinear optical effects. As a mode of surface plasmons (SP), localized SPs can highly localize and enhance electromagnetic fields within a subwavelength volume. In this work, we developed a one-dimensional V-groove Ag nanograting. Through simulation, we realized triple-resonance enhanced four-wave mixing (FWM), in which both the excitation and signal waves are in resonance with LSPRs modified by propagating SPs, and can perfectly overlap with each other in each single nanogroove. Compared with that from a flat Ag plate, the FWM enhancement factor can be over six orders of magnitude. Next, we filled the Ag V-groove with nonlinear polymer 2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene and further improved the enhancement factor to eight orders of magnitude, together with a conversion efficiency of 1.02×10-2. Finally, by changing the water filling ratio, the FWM signal is tuned over 180 nm, while keeping the enhancement factor over seven orders of magnitude.

Abstract
By utilizing Dy(hfac)3(H2O)2 to react with enantiomerically pure tridentate N,N,N-pincer ligands, namely (-)/(+)-2,6-bis(4',5'-pinene-2'-pyridyl)pyridine (LR and LS), respectively, homochiral DyIII enantiomeric pairs formulated as Dy(hfac)3LR/Dy(hfac)3LS (R-1/S-1) (hfac- = hexafluoroacetylacetonate) were achieved and structurally characterized. Meanwhile, their magnetic, photoluminescent (PL), and chiroptical properties were probed. The PL test results indicate that the precursor Dy(hfac)3(H2O)2 only shows very weak emission, while R-1 exhibits characteristic DyIII f-f transition emission bands at room temperature. Furthermore, the nonlinear optical responses of Dy(hfac)3(H2O)2, LR/LS, and R-1/S-1 were investigated in detail based on crystalline samples. The results reveal that LR and LS present the coexistence of second- and third-harmonic generation (SHG and THG) responses with more intense signals for SHG responses; and Dy(hfac)3(H2O)2 merely displays weak THG responses, while R-1 and S-1 also only exhibit THG responses. However, the THG intensities of R-1 and S-1 are more than six times larger than that of Dy(hfac)3(H2O)2 under the identical measurement conditions. These results demonstrate that introducing homochiral N,N,N-pincer ligands to replace two H2O molecules of Dy(hfac)3(H2O)2 results in significant improvements of both PL performances and THG responses of resultant R-1/S-1 enantiomers. R-1 and S-1 integrate PL, THG, and chiral optical activity in one molecule, suggesting their multifunctional merits. In particular, a convenient method is introduced to simultaneously test THG and SHG responses of molecular materials based on crystalline samples in this work.

Abstract
It is quite appealing but challenging to predict and synthesize new nonlinear optical (NLO) materials with exceptional performance. Herein, the different Sn4 cluster core structures and third-order NLO properties are studied through electronic structure, excited hole-electron, bonding character, and aromaticity analysis. As a result, Sn4 clusters with ring core structure (Sn4-R) not only have the smallest Egap, the largest UV-vis response intensity, but also the strongest third-order NLO response in our work. As proved by natural bond orbitals' (NBO) analysis, electron localization function (ELF), and adaptive natural density partitioning (AdNDP), the Sn44+ has two in-plane four center-two electron (4c-2e) Sn-Sn σ-bonds, resulting in a good delocalization. For the first time, delocalization of metal cluster cores in tin clusters that is beneficial to the third-order NLO response is proposed, which provides a new guidance to design and prepare third-order NLO materials.

Abstract
A new metal-organic framework (MOF), [Zn4(μ4-O)(μ6-L)2(H2O)2]n·nDMF (ZSTU-10), was assembled from zinc(II) nitrate and N,N',N″-bis(4-carboxylate)trimesicamide linkers and fully characterized. Its crystal structure discloses an intricate two-fold 3D+3D interpenetrated MOF driven by the [Zn4(μ4-O)]-based tetragonal secondary building units and the C3-symmetric tris-amide-tricarboxylate linkers (μ6-L3-). Topological analysis of ZSTU-10 reveals two interpenetrated 3,6-connected nets with an rtl (rutile) topology. Z-Scan analysis at 532 nm was conducted to study a nonlinear optical (NLO) behavior of ZSTU-10. The nonlinear responses of ZSTU-10 were explored under various laser intensities, revealing notable third-order NLO properties in the visible region. A large two-photon absorption at lower incident intensities highlights the fact that ZSTU-10 can be applied in optical limiting devices as well as optical modulators. Moreover, a nonlinear refractive index (n2) is indicative of a self-defocusing behavior. This work thus expands a family of novel MOF materials with remarkable optical properties.

Abstract
Structure-property relationship for fluorophores with favorable nonlinear optical (NLO) properties are promising topics in organic chemistry and material science. Herein, a series of terthiophene-o-carborane dyads and triads covalently linked with different end-capping styles were readily synthesized and comprehensively investigated. Quantitative values of the crystal and packing structures, photophysical parameters including aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and two-photon absorption (2PA) were provided. Significant impact of carborane unit for introducing the AIE characteristic has been investigated in contrast to the parent oligothiophene. All the obtained fluorophores exhibit maximum absorption around 370 nm in THF and emit bright reddish photoluminscence with absolute fluorescence quantum yields above 16% in solid states. Intramolecular charge communication between oligothiophene and carborane plays important roles in the related NLO properties. These results are supported well by the time-dependent DFT theoretical calculations. Effective 2PA cross sections (δ2PA = 95-355 GM@650 nm) and transition dipole moments of the derivatives are variable for different end-capping styles. Their potential applications as optical limiting materials based on the 2PA mechanism in solutions and doped PDMS films were further evaluated. Taken together, this work provides an understanding of their structure-property relationship, and flexible PDMS films as outstanding candidates for practical applications in optical limiting.

Abstract
The electronic nature of 4-hydroxy-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-1,3,6(2H,5H)-trione (HPPT) was comprehensively investigated in liquid media at room temperature using steady-state and time-resolved femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopic techniques. The analysis of the linear photophysical and photochemical parameters of HPPT, including steady-state absorption, fluorescence and excitation anisotropy spectra, along with the lifetimes of fluorescence emission and photodecomposition quantum yields, revealed the nature of its large Stokes shift, specific changes in the permanent dipole moments under electronic excitation, weak dipole transitions with partially anisotropic character, and high photostability. Transient absorption spectra of HPPT were obtained with femtosecond resolution and no characteristic solvate relaxation processes in protic (methanol) solvent were revealed. Efficient light amplification (gain) was observed in the fluorescence spectral range of HPPT, but no super-luminescence and lasing phenomena were detected. The electronic structure of HPPT was also analyzed with quantum-chemical calculations using a DFT/B3LYP method and good agreement with experimental data was shown. The development and investigation of new pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine derivatives are important due to their promising fluorescent properties and potential for use in physiological applications.

Abstract
A fluorescently labeled peptide that exhibited fast excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) was synthesized, and the nature of its electronic properties was comprehensively investigated, including linear photophysical and photochemical characterization, specific relaxation processes in the excited state, and its stimulated emission ability. The steady-state absorption, fluorescence, and excitation anisotropy spectra, along with fluorescence lifetimes and emission quantum yields, were obtained in liquid media and analyzed based on density functional theory quantum-chemical calculations. The nature of ESIPT processes of the peptide's chromophore moiety was explored using a femtosecond transient absorption pump-probe technique, revealing relatively fast ESIPT velocity (∼10 ps) in protic MeOH at room temperature. Efficient superluminescence properties of the peptide were realized upon femtosecond excitation in the main long-wavelength absorption band with a corresponding threshold of the pump pulse energy of ∼1.5 μJ. Quantum-chemical analysis of the electronic structure of the peptide was performed using the density functional theory/time-dependent density functional theory level of theory, affording good agreement with experimental data.

Abstract
Nonlinear optical responses provide a powerful way to understand the microscopic interactions between laser fields and matter. They are critical for plenty of applications, such as in lasers, integrated photonic circuits, biosensing and medical tools. However, most materials exhibit weak optical nonlinearities or long response times when they interact with intense optical fields. Here, we strongly couple the exciton of cyanine dye J-aggregates to an optical mode of a Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity, and achieve an enhancement of the complex nonlinear refractive index by two orders of magnitude compared with that of the uncoupled condition. Moreover, the coupled system shows an ultrafast response of ~120 fs that we extract from optical cross-correlation measurements. The ultrafast and large enhancement of the optical nonlinar coefficients in this work paves the way for exploring strong coupling effects on various third-order nonlinear optical phenomena and for technological applications. Nonlinear optical response of the material plays a crucial role in light-matter interactions and is important for practical applications. Here, the authors report enhancement of optical nonlinearity of J-aggregate cyanine molecules due to strong coupling between the molecules and an optical cavity.

Abstract
Aza-boron dipyrromethenes (aza-BODIPYs) presenting a benzothiadiazole substitution on upper positions are described. The strong electron-withdrawing effect of the benzothiadiazole moiety permits enhancement of the accepting strength and improves the delocalization of the aza-BODIPY core to attain a significant degree of electronic communication between the lower donating groups and the upper accepting groups. The nature of the intramolecular charge transfer is studied both experimentally and theoretically. Linear spectroscopy highlighted the strongly redshifted absorption and emission of the synthesized molecules with recorded fluorescence spectra over 1000 nm. Nonlinear optical properties were also investigated. Strong enhancement of the two-photon absorption of the substituted dyes compared with the unsubstituted one (up to 4520 GM at 1300 nm) results in an approximately 15-20 % improvement of the optical power limiting performances. These dyes are therefore a good starting point for further improvement of optical power limiting in the short-wave IR range.

Abstract
The knowledge concerning the influence of defects on the nonlinear optical response of materials remains scarce so far. In this work, we have successfully introduced defects into SnS2 nanosheets by plasma treatment and shown that a defect generation is an effective approach to significantly improve the reverse saturable absorption of SnS2. The SnS2 nanosheets treated with Ar plasma for 40 s exhibit a nonlinear absorption coefficient (β0) as large as (2.9 ± 0.12) × 104 cm GW-1, which is nearly 9 times that of the untreated sample. The influence of Ar-plasma-treatment time, defect type, and defect number on the nonlinear absorption of SnS2 nanosheets are also studied. Structure and spectroscopy characterization confirms the introduction of S and Sn vacancies with Ar-plasma etching. Surface photovoltage spectroscopy and density functional theory calculation indicate that S vacancies can induce in-gap states in the band gap. These in-gap states act as intermediate states for the successive absorption of photons during femtosecond laser excitation (namely, excited-state absorption). In contrast, Sn defects cannot lead to in-gap states and have a limited contribution to nonlinear absorption. Our result would provide a promising way to improve optical nonlinearities.

Abstract
Although the production of near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing organic polymers with an excellent nonlinear optical (NLO) response is vital for various optoelectronic devices and photodynamic therapy, the molecular design and relevant photophysical investigation still remain challenging. In this work, large NLO activity is observed for an NIR-absorbing bithiophene-based polymer with a unique head-to-head linkage in the NIR region. The saturable absorption coefficient and modulation depth of the polymer are determined as ∼-3.5×105 cm GW-1 and ∼32.43%, respectively. Notably, the polymer exhibits an intrinsic nonlinear refraction index up to ∼-9.36 cm2 GW-1 , which is six orders of magnitude larger than that of CS2 . The maximum molar-mass normalized two-photon absorption cross-section (σ2 /M) of this polymer can be up to ∼14 GM at 1200 nm. Femtosecond transient absorption measurements reveal significant spectral overlap between the 2PA and excited state absorption in the 1000-1400 nm wavelength range and an efficient triplet quantum yield of ∼36.7%. The results of this study imply that this NIR-absorbing polymer is promising for relevant applications.
