Context: Nonlinear optics (NLO) is an interesting field that discloses the interaction between intense light and matter, leading to a deeper understanding of NLO phenomena. Organic chromophores are considered as promising materials for NLO due to their exceptional structural versatility, ease of processing, and rapid response to NLO effects. Functional materials based on thiophene have been indispensable in advancing organic optoelectronics.

To synthesize novel more potent anti-diabetic agents. A simple cost effective synthetic strategy was used to synthesize 2-(2-arylidenehydrazinyl)thiazol-4(5)-ones. Fifteen new 2-(2-arylidenehydrazinyl)thiazol-4(5)-ones were established to check their anti-diabetic potential.

In the current work, organic cyclopenta-thiophene (CPT) based derivatives (FICR and FICD1-FICD5) were designed by the modulation of end-capped acceptor group of the reference molecule i.e., FICR, to explore their nonlinear optical (NLO) response.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers designed a series of heterocyclic compounds (PYFD1-PYFD7) that enhance nonlinear optical (NLO) properties by varying the acceptor groups compared to a reference compound (PYFR).
  • Density functional theory (DFT) analysis showed these new compounds had lower energy band gaps (2.340-2.602 eV) and higher polarizability, indicating they are more responsive to electric fields than the reference.
  • The best-performing compound, PYFD2, demonstrated significant NLO capabilities and specific properties (softness of 0.4273 eV, hardness of 1.170 eV) that could benefit future experimental development in advanced technologies.

In the current study, three novel 1,4-phenylenediamine-based chromophores (3a-3c) were synthesized and characterized and then their nonlinear optical (NLO) characteristics were explored theoretically. The characterization was done by spectroscopic analysis, FT-IR, UV-Visible, and NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Notably, these chromophores exhibited UV-Visible absorption within the range of 378.
