Abstract:
The nonlinear optical molecule N,N-bis(4-bromobutyl)-4-nitrobenzenamine was synthesized. The ground state dipole moment was determined by the Debye-Guggenheim method. A solvent mixture of acetonitrile and toluene was used for the solvatochromic determination of the excited state dipole moment. Excited state has a high value for the dipole moment which indicated a higher degree of charge transfer from the donor to the acceptor moiety on excitation by light. The first hyperpolarizability (beta(ijk)) of the molecule was evaluated assuming the two level model of the first hyperpolarizability.
