The first hyperpolarizability £], which is an important factor in the second-order nonlinear optical effect, of the 5-6-5 heterocyclic rigid-rod chromophores-based derivatives has been systematically investigated in this work, applying the first principle based software CASTEP and the semi-empirical software MOPAC There are four factors chosen for this computational analysis, including the effects of (i) various rigid-rod molecules, (ii) auxiliary ability of various five-member rings, (iii) donor ability, and (iv) conjugation length.
Results indicate that the benzobisimidazole (BBI)-based derivatives have larger £] values than those of benzobisthiazole (BBT) and benzobisoxazole (BBO)-based derivatives. The auxiliary donor ability of the pyrrole is larger than that of the thiophene and furan. In general, the £] value of various derivatives studied is parallel to the original donor strength and the trend in the donor is -N(CH3)2 > -NH2 > -OH > -CH3. In addition, the greater the conjugation length in the derivatives is, the higher the £] value. Further, from the analyses on the band-resolved £] values and the orbital density figures, it is found that the major contribution to the enhanced £] comes primarily from an efficient charge transfer from the donor side via the intermediate heterocyclic bridge to the acceptor side. Finally, a comparison between CASTEP and MOPAC reveals that CASTEP is more appropriate and accurate in predicting the optical properties of the heterocyclic-ring-based derivatives.
