Synthesis, (Non)Linear Optical and Redox Properties of a Donor-Substituted Truxenone Derivative

Abstract

The search for better, more efficient and at the same time more transparent NLO chromophores has led to the development and investigation of new, alternative chromophore types. A new and quite general synthetic route to ring-substituted truxenones is presented, and the linear and nonlinear optical and redox properties of 1 were investigated.
