Abstract

Abstract Terminal piperidinyl-and nitro-functionalized biphenyls, bridged between the 2 and 2′ positions by a variable number of methylene groups, are synthesized and fully characterized. These push-pull systems with defined and restricted torsion angles between their phenyl rings are ideal model compounds to investigate the influence of the chromophore's conjugation in nonlinear optic (NLO) responses. A general synthetic route ...
