Abstract

Abstract: A new type of bis-chromophores containing two successive, covalently linked, nonlinear optical (NLO) dyes has been synthesized. For their preparation, a- cyanocinnamates or dinitrophenylhydrazones have been combined with an 4 '- alkoxybiphenyl-4-carboxylate acting both as a hydrophobic, mesogenic moiety and as the second NLO dye. The self-organizing properties at the air-water interface as well as the ...
