Claims7
A nonlinear optical chromophore of the general formula (I):
- D-Π-A (I)
- wherein D represents an organic electron-donating group;
- A represents an organic electron-accepting group having an electron affinity greater than the electron affinity of D;
- and Π represents a Π-bridge between the organic electron-accepting group and the organic electron-donating group;
- wherein the Π-bridge has the following formula (Πd):
- wherein Y represents:
- a sulfur linked aryl group;
- wherein each a and b independently represents an integer of 0 to 3;
- and z represents an integer of 1 to 3;
- the nonlinear optical chromophore comprising one or more diamondoids, wherein one diamondoid of the one or more diamondoids is covalently bound to the organic electron-donating group.
