Abstract
The reaction of TCNE with electron-rich aryl acetylenes provides a very convenient synthetic method for the preparation of highly stable tetracyanobutadiene (TCBD)-containing chromophores. The stability of chromophores is strongly dependent on the substituent at the TCBD. The diaryl substituted TCBD's exhibit greater chemical stability than the tricyanovinyl and the alkyl-TCBD substituted chromophores. As a result of their excellent chemical stability, these diaryl-substituted TCBD chromophores can be functionalized very easily and be incorporated onto a polymer backbone to make a NLO side-chain polymers.
