- Description
- This work entails the study of electronic and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of two synthesized Schiff bases namely 3-(((2-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)imino)methyl)phenol (MMP) and 3-(((2,4-dinitrophenyl)imino)methyl)phenol (DMP). Electronic absorption properties studied using UV–Visible spectrophotometry in ethanol reveal low-energy absorption indicating a low band gap. Time-dependent density functional calculations on their excited state properties with ωB97X-D/6-311++G(d,p) method show comparable transition energies and intensities with the experimental results. Energy gaps (ΔE) and NLO properties were evaluated from the frontier orbitals and hyperpolarizabilities (βtot and γ) in gas, cyclohexane and ethanol. Low ΔE obtained shows the potentials of the systems as organic semiconductor with remarkable band gap stabilization in ethanol. Higher βtot and γ than urea imply that the Schiff bases possess potentials for NLO applications. The solvatochromic shift in transition energies and perturbation of electronic properties reveal the solvent dependence of the electronic and optical properties of MMP and DMP due to solute-solvent interactions.
