- Description
- This manuscript reports on syntheses of new multi-decker phthalocyanines, namely: bis-{2,3,9,10,16,10,16,17,23,24-octa(4-tertbutylphenoxy) phthalocyaninato} cerium(III) (2), tris-{2,3,9,10,16,10,16,17,23,24-octa(4-tertbutylphenoxy) phthalocyaninato} dicerium(III) (4) and bis-{2,3,9,10,16,10,16,17,23,24-octa(4-tertbutylphenoxy) phthalocyaninato} gadolinium(III) (5). Complex 4 which is a tris phthalocyanine showed better nonlinear optical behavior in solution than 2 which is a bis phthalocyanine, both containing the same central metal, Ce. All the three molecules possess good optical limiting properties judged by the limiting threshold values which ranged from 0.04 to 0.09 J cm−2 with complex 5 embedded in thin films, showing the lowest value of 0.04 J cm−2. Furthermore, nonlinear optical processes responsible for reverse saturable absorption data are investigated.
