Claims8
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 each Y independently represents:
- a sulfur linked aryl group, the aryl group linked directly by a carbon-carbon bond;
- wherein each a and b independently represents an integer of 0 to 3;
- and z represents an integer of 1 to 3;
- wherein the electron-donating group (D) comprises one or more covalently bound diamondoids.
