Influencing intramolecular motion with an alternating electric field
Veronica Bermudez,Nathalie Capron,Torsten Gase,Francesco G. Gatti,Francois Kajzar,David A. Leigh,Francesco Zerbetto,Songwei Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: Computer simulations and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy show the ring rotation to be the only dynamic process occurring on a timescale corresponding to the frequency of maximum birefringence, thus confirming that mechanical motion within the rotaxanes can be addressed, and to some extent controlled, by oscillating electric fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear and Unanticipated Second‐Order Nonlinear Optical Properties of Benzylic Amide [2]Catenane Thin Films: Evidence of Partial Rotation of the Interlocked Molecular Rings in the Solid State
Journal ArticleDOI
Rotaxanes: novel photonic molecules
Veronica Bermudez,Torsten Gase,Francois Kajzar,Nathalie Capron,F. Zerbetto,Francesco G. Gatti,David A. Leigh,Songwei Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a clipping movement was demonstrated when shining in the thread absorption band and the measured frequency of rotation agreed well with theoretical calculations and depends on temperature as well as on the applied external field strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Azo Chromophore Functionalized Polythiophenes. Synthesis and Nonlinear Optical Properties
Malgorzata Zagorska,Torsten Gase,Francois Kajzar,Paul Raimond,Irena Kulszewicz-Bajer,Adam Pron +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a polythiophene derivative containing azo dye side group was prepared via copolymerization of 3-alkylthiophenes and Disperse Red 1 substituted thiophens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear Optical Properties of Benzylic Amide [2] Catenanes: A Novel Versatile Photonic Material
Daniela Grando,Torsten Gase,Francois Kajzar,Marianna Fanti,Francesco Zerbetto,Aden Murphy,David A. Leigh +6 more
TL;DR: The third harmonic generation in benzylic amide catenane solutions was measured at a wavelength of γ = 1064 nm, with the fundamental and the harmonic wavelengths in the region of transparency of the material as discussed by the authors.
