The Fourier-transform infrared and FT-Raman spectra of 1,5-Dimethyl Napthalene (15DMN) was recorded in the region 4000-400cm(-1) and 3500-50cm(-1) respectively. Quantum chemical calculations of energies, geometrical structure and vibrational wavenumbers of 6M2C were carried out by density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The difference between the observed and scaled wavenumber values of most of the fundamentals is very small. The values of the total dipole moment (μ) and the first order hyperpolarizability (β) of the investigated compound were computed using B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculations. The calculated results also show that 15DMN might have microscopic non-linear optical, MESP, NBO analysis with non-zero values. A detailed interpretation of infrared and Raman spectra of 15DMN is also reported. The calculated HOMO7-LUMO energy gap shows that charge transfer occur within the molecule. The molecular electrostatic potential map shows that the negative potential sites are on the electronegative atoms as well as the positive potential sites are around the hydrogen atoms.

Context: Isatin-Schiff bases have wide applications in chemistry. The π conjugated electronic system and heterocylic structure of these materials make them valuable for use as photosensitized materials. The delocalization of π-electrons throughout the structure causes the UV-vis absorption spectra to shift to longer wavelengths.

The packing fashion of an organic molecule in the crystal plays a critical role in the global nonlinear optical (NLO) responses under ambient conditions. To better understand how the crystal packing affects the first hyperpolarizability (β) and achieve efficient NLO material, herein, the three positional isomers (regioisomers) through changing the substituted position of 3-carbazole-pyrazine-based isomers were performed. The phenyl groups with different positions (-, -, and -) of pyrazine, named , , and , are theoretically studied in gas, solvent, and solid states by using the polarizable continuum model and the combined quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics method, respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • The invention of lasers and inorganic second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals has revolutionized technology by enabling unique frequency conversions, essential for various applications including information transmission and industrial uses.
  • As the demand for shorter wavelengths and higher precision lasers increases, there is a pressing need for high-performance ultraviolet NLO materials, especially those with wavelengths less than 300 nm.
  • Current methods of discovering these materials are often inefficient and based on trial-and-error; therefore, a three-step strategy is proposed for a more rational design, focusing on screening new functional groups, regulating crystal structures, and optimizing synthesis to meet stringent performance criteria.

Recent developments in optical imaging techniques, particularly multi-photon excitation microscopy that allows studies of biological interactions at a deep cellular level, have motivated intensive research in developing multi-photon absorption fluorophores. Biological tissues are optically transparent in the near-infrared region. Therefore, fluorophores that can absorb light in the near-infrared (NIR) region by multi-photon absorption are particularly useful in bio-imaging.

Article Synopsis
  • - Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have notable optical properties, but their nonlinear optical behavior, specifically the second-order response, was mostly unexplored until this study.
  • - Through Hyper-Rayleigh scattering experiments, researchers found CNCs exhibit a strong second-order nonlinear optical response, comparable to known biomaterials and inorganic materials, due to the orderly arrangement of cellulose chains.
  • - The study utilized quantum chemical modeling to predict CNCs' molecular hyperpolarizability and created an electrostatic model to align theoretical predictions with experimental results, highlighting CNCs' potential for optoelectronic applications and two-photon microscopy.
