Selective synthesis of non-centrosymmetric phtalocyanines for nonlinear optics

Objective

The aim of the present project is to develop new non-centrosymmetric phthalocyanines (Pcs) with nonlinear optical properties (NLO). Structural modifications of phthalocyanines would facilitate the tailoring of their electrophysical parameters over a broad range. Therefore, appropriate phthalocyanines, subphthalocyanines and structural analogues will be designed and synthesised using selective synthetic methods. Solid phase synthesis and high pressure techniques will be tools for achieving these goals. The s tudy of the new Pc-based systems at molecular level and the control of the supramolecular architecture in condensed phases, like liquid-crystalline mesophases and organised thin films, among others, will be carried out. The phthalocyanine chromophores will be also processed on inorganic solid supports (zeolites). The NLO of the materials at both molecular and macroscopic level will be carried out. Dipolar and octupolar phthalocyanines will be targets for second harmonic generation (SHG), while appropriately substituted and metallated Pcs would present third order NLO and optical limiting properties.
