Donor-substituted 1,1,2,4,4-pentacyanobuta-1,3-dienes and a cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-diylidene-expanded derivative were prepared by a [2 + 2] cycloaddition of tetracyanoethene (TCNE) or 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) to anilino-substituted cyanoalkynes, followed by retro-electrocyclisation; they feature intense bathochromically-shifted intramolecular charge-transfer bands and undergo their first one-electron reductions at potentials similar to those reported for TCNE and TCNQ.

Two distinct families of NLOphores featuring hydrazone donors were synthesized using click-type [2 + 2] cycloaddition retroelectrocyclizations (CA-RE). Despite the limitations in the substrate scope, it was shown for the first time that hydrazone-activated alkynes could undergo reactions with TCNE/TCNQ. The electrochemical, photophysical, and second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) characteristics of the chromophores were analyzed utilizing experimental and computational approaches.

Unraveling the intriguing aspects of the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) phenomenon of multi-modular donor-acceptor-based push-pull systems are of paramount importance considering their promising applications, particularly in solar energy harvesting and light-emitting devices. Herein, a series of symmetrical and unsymmetrical donor-acceptor chromophores 1-6, are designed and synthesized by the Corey-Fuchs reaction via Evano's condition followed by [2+2] cycloaddition retroelectrocyclic ring-opening reaction with strong electron acceptors TCNE and TCNQ in good yields (~60-85 %). The photophysical, electrochemical, and computational studies are investigated to explore the effect of incorporation of strong electron acceptors 1,1,4,4-tetracyanobuta-1,3-diene (TCBD) and dicyanoquinodimethane (DCNQ) with phenothiazine (PTZ) donor.

Three new tetraphenylethene (TPE) push-pull chromophores exhibiting strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) are described. They were obtained via [2 + 2] cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization (CA-RE) click reactions on an electron-rich alkyne-tetrafunctionalized TPE (TPE-alkyne) using both 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethene (TCNE), 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F-TCNQ) as electron-deficient alkenes. Only the starting TPE-alkyne displayed significant AIE behavior, whereas for TPE-TCNE, a faint effect was observed, and for TPE-TCNQ and TPE-F-TCNQ, no fluorescence was observed in any conditions.

Recently, two-dimensional materials are widely concerned because of their novel physical properties. CrGeTe(CGT) has been studied extensively due to its intrinsic ferromagnetism and ferromagnetic order. In this investigation, the electronic and magnetic performances of organic molecules (TCNE, TCNQ and TTF) adsorbed on CGT monolayer were studied based on the first-principles calculations systematically.
