Four derivatives of 2, 4, 6-tris (benzylamino)-1, 3, 5-triazine are synthesized and detailed computational and nonlinear optical investigations are carried out. Computations indicate near degenerate conformations (C3 and C1 symmetry) in all systems in the gas phase; the dipole moments are also of similar magnitude in all of them except molecule 4 [2, 4, 6-tris (4- fluorobenzylamino)-1, 3, 5-triazine]. HRS measurements of these molecules in solution ...
