Abstract
Theoretical study of structural, optical, and photovoltaic properties of novel bio-nano hybrids (dye-nanocluster), as well as at TiO2 surface model support is presented in the context of the application for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). A group of anthocyanidin dyes (pelargonidin, cyanidin, delphinidin, peonidin, petunidin, and malvidin) represented by cyanidin covalently bound to silver nanoclusters (NCs) with even or odd number of valence electrons have been investigated using DFT and TDDFT approach. The key role of nanoclusters as acceptors in hybrids cyanidin-NC has been shown. The nanoclusters with an even number of valence electrons are suitable as acceptors in hybrids. The interaction of bio-nano (cyanidin-NC) hybrid with the TiO2 surface model has been investigated in the context of absorption in near-infrared (NIR) and charge separation due to donor and acceptor subunits. Altogether, the theoretical concept serves to identify the key steps in the design of novel solar cells based on bio-nano hybrids at TiO2 surface for DSSC application.

Abstract
Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 (SHP1) is mainly restricted to hematopoietic and epithelial cells and widely accepted as a convergent node for oncogenic cell-signaling cascades. The development of efficient methods for rapidly tracing and inhibiting the SHP1 activity in complex biological systems is of considerable significance for advancing the integration of diagnosis and treatment of the related disease. With this aim, we designed and synthesized five 2-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (PT2, PT5, PT8, PT9 and PT10) here based on the reported SHP1 inhibitors (PT1, PT3, PT4, PT6 and PT7). The photophysical properties and inhibitory activities of these 2-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (PT1-PT10) against SHP1 were thoroughly studied from the theoretical simulation and experimental application aspects. The representative compound PT10 exhibited a larger quantum yield than the other molecules because of the smaller geometric relaxation and reorganization energy of the excited state, which was consistent with the results from the fluorescence experiments in organic solvents. In addition, PT10 showed a selective fluorescence response for SHP1 activity and low cytotoxicity in HeLa cells. Lastly, it indicated the potential application in two-photon cell fluorescence imaging in the future according to the calculated excellent two-photon absorption properties. In this contribution, firstly, we offered the fluorescent and activated molecule PT10 against SHP1, which achieved the integration of visualization and inhibitory activity of SHP1 preliminarily at the enzyme molecular level.

Abstract
A series of new coumarin-imidazo[1,2-a]heterocyclic-3-acrylate derivatives 7a-h were synthesized by the Heck reaction between the corresponding 3-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines)-(2-yl)-2H-chromen-2-ones 4a-e and methyl acrylate in 45-87% yields. The effect of the distinct substituents on third-order nonlinear optical properties was examined, experimentally measuring their nonlinear refractive indexes by the Z-scan technique. Density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory were utilized with the B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP, PBE (PBEPBE), and M062X functionals on Gaussian09 software to calculate the vertical excitation, relaxation of the brightest excited states, conformation, HOMO-LUMO gaps, oscillator strength, polarizability, and hyperpolarizabilities of all derivatives. Although all acrylates showed a nonlinear response at a certain level of power, the compounds bearing a diethylamino electron-donating group exhibited higher nonlinear refractive index values (∼10-9 cm2 W-1), which is in agreement with the trend in the computational calculations of the first and second hyperpolarization. According to the structural analysis, the electron-withdrawing group (acrylate) is mainly responsible for the loss of coplanarity because of increasing the dihedral angle between the coumarin and imidazo[1,2-a]heterocyclic moieties (to 39.1°). On the other hand, the unsubstituted compound 4a presented the greatest nonlinearity due to its almost coplanar structure (n2 ∼ 10-8 cm2 W-1), highlighting the importance of this feature.

Abstract
Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) are an emerging class of luminescent nanomaterials but still suffer from moderate photoluminescence quantum yields. Recent efforts have focused on tailoring their emission properties. Introducing zwitterionic ligands to cap the metallic kernel is an efficient approach to enhance their one-photon excitation fluorescence intensity. In this work, we extend this concept to the nonlinear optical regime, i.e., two-photon excitation fluorescence. For a proper comparison between theory and experiment, both ligand and solvent effects should be considered. The effects of ligand shell size and of aqueous solvent on the optical properties of zwitterion functionalized gold nanoclusters have been studied by performing quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations.

Abstract
In this paper, we present the third harmonic generation response of Znq2 (Bis-(8-hydroxyquinolinato)zinc), Cuq2 (8-Hydroxyquinoline copper(II)), and Alq3 (Tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum) organometallic compounds. An experiment was conducted for s and p polarizations of incident beam, using the Maker fringes technique. The third order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) was estimated using the Kubodera and Kobayashi comparative model, on the grounds that presented compounds exhibit high linear absorption of the generated third harmonic wavelength (355 nm). These complexes were deposited as thin films using the physical vapor deposition (PVD) method. Investigated complexes vary in terms of the coordination center and number of quinoline ligands, which visibly influence their nonlinear response. The global hybrid B3LYP functional with the basis set 6-31G(d) was used in computing the linear and non-linear optical properties. The computed γtot value (8765.36 × 10−36 esu for Cuq2) is superior to that of methylene blue (γ = 32.00 × 10−36 esu). The calculated theoretical values were found to be in good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract
Push–pull dyes absorbing in the visible range have been extensively studied so that a variety of structures have already been synthesized and reported in the literature. Conversely, dyes absorbing in the near and far infrared region are more scarce and this particularity relies on the following points: difficulty of purification, presence of side-reaction during synthesis, low availability of starting materials, and low reaction yields. Over the years, several strategies such as the elongation of the π-conjugated spacer or the improvement of the electron-donating and accepting ability of both donors and acceptors connected via a conjugated or an aliphatic spacer have been examined to red-shift the absorption spectra of well-established visible dyes. However, this strategy is not sufficient, and the shift often remains limited. A promising alternative consists in identifying a molecule further used as an electron-accepting group and already presenting an absorption band in the near infrared region and to capitalize on its absorption to design near and far infrared absorbing dyes. This is the case with poly(nitro)fluorenes that already exhibit such a contribution in the near infrared region. In this review, an overview of the different dyes elaborated with poly(nitro)fluorenes is presented. The different applications where these different dyes have been used are also detailed.

Abstract
Our investigation of one-photon absorption (OPA) and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties such as two-photon absorption (TPA) of silver trimer intercalated in DNA based on TDDFT approach allowed us to propose a mechanism responsible for large TPA cross sections of such NLO-phores. We present a concept that illustrates the key role of quantum cluster as well as of nucleotide bases from the immediate neighborhood. For this purpose, different surroundings consisting of guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine such as (GCGC) and (ATAT) have been investigated that are exhibiting substantially different values of TPA cross sections. This has been confirmed by extending the immediate surroundings as well as using the two-layer quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach. We focus on the cationic closed-shell system and illustrate that the neutral open-shell system shifts OPA spectra into the NIR regime, which is suitable for applications. Thus, in this contribution, we propose novel NLO-phores inducing large TPA cross sections, opening the route for multiphoton imaging.

Abstract
Concerning the major factors in the context of excited states analyses, namely charge centroids of the orbitals involved in the excitations, the distance between orbital centroids, and overlap integrals, a new metric-the Ω index-is proposed to assign the character and optical properties of electronically excited states. Using several molecules from different classes and also a well-studied standard database for time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) studies as benchmark criteria, accountability of the developed index is numerically assessed for local, charge transfer, and Rydberg excitations. It is shown that the nature of excited states can be discriminated using the Ω index, where its superior performance for those situations in which the previous descriptors were not helpful is also unveiled. Relationships are also examined between the Ω index and optical properties of some molecules under study in the framework of the sum-over-state approach. It is observed that there are correlations between the proposed index and computed hyperpolarizabilities based on the sum-over-state scheme. These findings offer the possibility of estimating excited-state properties of large systems from simple descriptors without explicitly performing calculations of high-order response functions.

Abstract
We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of the two-photon absorption and excited emission properties of monodisperse ligand stabilized Ag11, Ag15 and Ag31 nanoclusters in aqueous solutions. The nanoclusters were synthesized using a cyclic reduction under oxidative conditions and separated by vertical gel electrophoresis. The two-photon absorption cross-sections of these protected noble metal nanoclusters measured within the biologically attractive 750-900 nm window are several orders of magnitude larger than that reported for commercially available standard organic dyes. The two-photon excited fluorescence spectra are also presented for excitation wavelengths within the same excitation spectral window. They exhibit size-tunability. Because the fundamental photophysical mechanisms underlying these multiphoton processes in ligand protected clusters with only a few metal atoms are not fully understood yet, a theoretical model is proposed to identify the key driving elements. Elements that regulate the dipole moments and the nonlinear optical properties are the nanocluster size, its structure and the charge distribution on both the metal core and the bound ligands. We coined this new class of NLO materials as "Ligand-Core" NLO-phores.

Abstract
In spectroscopies, the local field experienced by a molecule embedded in an environment will be different from the externally applied electromagnetic field, and this difference may significantly alter the response and transition properties of the molecule. The polarizable embedding (PE) model has previously been developed to model the local field contribution stemming from the direct molecule-environment coupling of the electromagnetic response properties of molecules in solution as well as in heterogeneous environments, such as proteins. Here we present an extension of this approach to address the additional effective external field effect, i.e., the manifestations of the environment polarization induced by the external field, which allows for the calculation of properties defined in terms of the external field. Within a response framework, we report calculations of the one- and two-photon absorption (1PA and 2PA, respectively) properties of PRODAN-methanol clusters as well as the fluorescent protein DsRed. Our results demonstrate the necessity of accounting for both the dynamical reaction field and effective external field contributions to the local field in order to reproduce full quantum chemical reference calculations. For the lowest π→π* transition in DsRed, inclusion of effective external field effects gives rise to a 1.9- and 3.5-fold reduction in the 1PA and 2PA cross-sections, respectively. The effective external field is, however, strongly influenced by the heterogeneity of the protein matrix, and the resulting effect can lead to either screening or enhancement depending on the nature of the transition under consideration.
