Description
Summary:Three novel mononuclear ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(dmp) 2 L] 2+ [dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, L = 2-phenylimidazo-[4,5- f ][1,10]phenanthroline (PIP), 2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)imidazo-[4,5- f ][1,10]phenanthroline (HOP), 2-(4'-dimethylaminophenyl)imidazo-[4,5- f ][1,10]phenanthroline (DMNP)] were synthesized and characterized by ES-MS, 1 H NMR, UV-Vis and electrochemistry. The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the ruthenium(II) complexes were investigated by Z -scan techniques with 12 ns laser pulses at 540 nm, and all of them exhibit both NLO absorption and self-defocusing effects. The corresponding effective NLO susceptibility | h 3 | of the complexes is in the range of 5.15 2 10 m 12 m 6.34 2 10 m 12 esu.
