- Description
- Novel pentadecylphenoxyl substituted homoleptic sandwich–type metallophthalocyanines: bis (complexes 2 and 4 containing Eu and Dy, respectively) and tris (complexes 3 and 5 containing Eu and Dy, respectively) 2,9,16,23–tetrakis–(3–pentadecylphenoxyl) phthalocyanines and cadmium based (Ag–CdSeTe/ZnTeSe) nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized. The nonlinear optical (NLO) behavior of the metallophthalocyanines and their composites with NCs were investigated using the open aperture Z–scan technique at excitation wavelength of 532 nm with 10 ns pulse. All of the samples exhibited interesting NLO attributes: among all the sandwich–type complexes, complex 5 afforded the most efficient NLO features accounting for large nonlinear absorption coefficient (βeff) value of 3500 cm/GW and limiting threshold (Ilim) value of 0.43 J cm−2. Overall, the composites of the triple decker sandwich–type complexes with Ag–CdSeTe/ZnTeSe yielded the best NLO characteristics with 3 and 5 accounting for the largest βeff value of 5500 cm/GW and Ilim value of 0.09 J cm−2. The synthesized complexes and their composites with NCs could be viable and efficient NLO absorber due to their interesting NLO activities.
