摘要
The two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-sections of a series of bifluorene molecules with different substituents (constructing three types of structures D-pi-D, A-pi-A and D-pi-A) were calculated using ZINDO/SOS program. The results showed that the A-pi-A structure with strong substituent-nitro had the largest TPA cross-section for these molecules. To verify the results, we analyzed the charge quantity of the ground and the main excited states as well as the frontier orbitals of the investigated molecules. The equilibrium geometries were obtained with AMI method, and using ZINDO-SOS to calculate the third-order nonlinearities of the molecules, then gained the TPA cross-sections. We found that for the compounds with bifluorene as pi center, the donor and acceptor strength are the important factor for the enhancement of the TPA properties, and compared with molecules with fluorene as pi center, the large TPA cross-sections of bifluorene are caused by coupling effects between the two monomers.
