Abstract

This work investigates the influence of different electron-withdrawing groups (Cl, Br, fluorobenzonitrile), on the two-photon absorption cross-section of six imidazo{[}4,5-b]pyridine derivatives. The two-photon absorption crosssection spectra were obtained by ultra-fast Z-scan technique from 470 nm up to 700 nm. The Sum-Over-States approach was applied to model the two-photon absorption spectra, using a three-level energy system. Photophysical properties, such as transition dipole moment, the difference of permanent dipole moments, and anisotropy coefficient were determined through the analysis of one-photon absorption spectra, solvatochromism, and fluorescence anisotropy, respectively. Besides, the excited state absorption spectra were measured through ultra-fast transient absorption, allowing the excited state lifetime and spectral position determination. Twophoton absorption cross-sections of about 160 GM were observed when two electron-withdrawing groups are linked to the imidazo{[}4,5-b]pyridine core, elucidating a path to achieve high optical nonlinearities in imidazopyridine derivatives. Furthermore, a increase in the two-photon cross-section was observed when chloride is linked at the C-6 position (90 GM) instead of the C-5 position (50 GM), which is related to the proximity of a higher excited state.
