Nonlinear Optical Properties of Organic Molecules and Crystals, Volume 1 discusses the nonlinear optical effects in organic molecules and crystals, providing a classical distinction between quadratic and cubic processes. This book begins with a general overview of the basic properties of organic matter, followed by a review on the benefits derived from quantum-chemistry-based models and growth and characterization of high quality, bulk organic crystals and waveguided structures. A case study focusing on a specific material, namely urea, which exemplifies a situation in which transparency in the UV region has been purposely traded for nonlinear efficiency is also deliberated. This text concludes with a description of a type of trade-off between the unpredictable orientation of molecules in crystalline media, polarity of liquid-crystalline structures, and dominant electronic contribution to the electro-optic effect. This publication is beneficial to solid-state physicists and chemists concerned with nonlinear optical properties of organic molecules and crystals.

Photonics, the counterpart of electronics, involves the usage of Photons instead of electrons to process information and perform various switching operations. Photonics is projected to be the technology of the future because of the gain in speed, processing and interconnectivity of network. Nonlinear optical processes will play the key role in photonics Where they can be used for frequency conversion, optical switching and modulation. Organic molecules and polymers have emerged as a new class of highly promising nonlinear optical materials Which has captured the attention of scientists world wide. The organic systems offer the advantage of large nonresonant nonlinearities derived from the 1T electrons contribution, femtosecond response time and the flexibility to modify their molecular structures. In addition, organic polymers can easily be fabricated in various device structures compatible with the fiber-optics communication system. The area of nonlinear optics of organic molecules and polymers offers exciting opportunities for both fundamental research and technologic development. It is truly an interdisciplinary area. This proceeding is the outcome of the first NATO Advanced Research WOrkshop in this highly important area. The objective of the workshop was to provide a forum for scientists of varying background from both universities and industries to come together and interface their expertize. The scope of the workshop was multidisciplinary with active participations from Chemists, physicists, engineers and materials scientists from many countries.

Crystal engineering is an interdisciplinary area that cuts across the traditional subdivisions of chemistry. Fuelled by our increasingly precise understanding of the chemistry and properties of supramolecular systems, interest in the potential of the field has increased rapidly. The topics discussed in the 28 contributions in this book provide a state-of-the-art description of the field and offer new research ideas that, if pursued, will serve to strengthen the field at the interface between supramolecular chemistry and materials science.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject Chemistry - Other, grade: Subventionierte Projekt, University of Dortmund (Institut für Umweltforschung , Lehrstuhl für Analytische Chemie), language: English, abstract: This book deals with chemistry and chemical-physical effects of Zn(II)-containing metal-organics with emergence as an interdisciplinary area of coordination chemistry, blending of optical and nonlinear optical materials research; optical fiber communication and optical computing technologies; data storage techniques; image processing; dynamic holography; printers; producing of harmonic generators; optical switching and limiting devices; fluorescence materials and more. In this context, the book collects new trends, and presents for first time more recent work in the field of applied oriented design of molecular scaffolds, synthesis, optical and nonlinear optical studies of coordination compounds of Zn(II)-ion. The book is divided into four chapters. The first Chapter 1 is designed to give readers a general overview on relevance of metal-organic materials containing metal ions with completed electronic d10 configurations to mentioned above areas of applied sciences. We have chosen to introduce relationship between molecular structure and properties of zinc tris(thiourea) sulphate and its derivatives in a short Chapter 2, because of those compounds are seriously tested for an industrial scale application as NLO-phores. Chapter 3 is devoted, principally, to a correlation between molecular structure, crystal structure and chemical physical effects of Zn(II)-containing metal-organic materials, mainly part of our research work. Chapter 4 concentrates on theoretical methodological formalism of most applicable quantum chemical methods, treating optical and non-linear optical phenomena, which are base on same thematic overall organization of this part of the book. The importance of this chapter is that it refers to basic computational chemistry methodology, associated with prediction of chemical-physical effects of metal-organics in gas- and condense phase, as a crucial step defining applied oriented chemical synthesis of new coordination compounds, thus producing results relevant to their real application as materials to optical and nonlinear optical technologies. Chapter 4 can serves as methodological reference point. But the content of the book, generally, can be useful to scientific research of MSc and PhD students in “Chemistry”, which work involves fields such as coordination chemistry, applied materials research, crystal engineering, and the fourth.
