Abstract

4-[4-disubstituted-ammo-phenylazo]-α-cyanocinnamates with two or more functional groups (such as hydroxyl, allyl) at both ends of the molecule to be used as novel chromophores for second-order NLO polymeric materials are synthesized by diazonium coupling and Knoevenagel condensation. In this two-step method, the tediousness of functionalization at the electron-acceptor end is avoided by selecting α-cyanoacrylate as electron-acceptor. The products are easy to purify, and the whole procedure is simple and time-saving, which facilitates the choice of polymer system for effective hardened NLO lattice in a broader range.
