eng Imidazolium as an acceptor unit in push-pull chromophores Organic push-pull systems play an important role as active materials in optoelectronic devices. Among others, five-membered imidazole can be employed as a p-conjugated backbone in such charge-transfer chromophores. Moreover, further alkylation of imidazole generates imidazolium ion that would possess pronounced electron accepting ability. Hence, we have proposed a general structure of D-p-A system with methoxy donor appended at the position C2 and aromates modified by auxiliary acceptors at positions C4 and C5. This arrangement would assure efficient intramolecular charge-transfer from the methoxy donor to the imidazolium ion and results in push-pull chromophore with enhanced nonlinear-optical properties.
