This work describes the synthesis and characterisation by electronic absorption spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and by a solvatochromic investigation of meso-tetraphenylporphyrins and their Zn-II complexes substituted at the beta pyrrolic position by a pseudo-linear, pi-delocalised organic linker carrying either an electron-withdrawing (pull) or electron-donating (push) group. The second-order NLO response of these push-pull porphyrinic chromophores has been investigated by the EFISH technique working with a non-resonant incident wavelength of 1.907 mu m. The porphyrin ring substituted at the beta pyrrolic position by an electron-acceptor pi-system behaves as a significant donor group, comparable to a ferrocenyl group or to a phthalocyanine. Unexpectedly, the porphyrin ring substituted at the beta pyrrolic position with an electron-donor pi-system shows a larger and significant second-order NLO response

Abstract
This work describes the synthesis and characterisation by electronic absorption spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and by a solvatochromic investigation of meso-tetraphenylporphyrins and their Zn-II complexes substituted at the beta pyrrolic position by a pseudo-linear, pi-delocalised organic linker carrying either an electron-withdrawing (pull) or electron-donating (push) group. The second-order NLO response of these push-pull porphyrinic chromophores has been investigated by the EFISH technique working with a non-resonant incident wavelength of 1.907 mu m. The porphyrin ring substituted at the beta pyrrolic position by an electron-acceptor pi-system behaves as a significant donor group, comparable to a ferrocenyl group or to a phthalocyanine. Unexpectedly, the porphyrin ring substituted at the beta pyrrolic position with an electron-donor pi-system shows a larger and significant second-order NLO responseI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
