Novel cross-linked chromophores based on Diels-Alder reaction or Huisgen reaction In order to synthesize binary crosslinked materials with both high electro-optic coefficient and high long term alignment stability, reaction was developed for making binary crosslinkable materials WLD1-4 and single component cross-linked material WLD5 using traditional aniline as the donor.

Synthesis and characterization of dendritic nonlinear optical chromophores with double donors Based on the same bis (4-piperidine) phenyl derivative donor, isophorone derivative bridge, and phenyl trifluoromethyl tricyclofuran (3F-TCF) acceptor, two different isolating groups, tert butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) and pentafluorophenyl ring (5F-Ph), were introduced into the donor and bridge to synthesize two chromophores XY 1-2.

Optimization of donor, acceptor and bridge for novel organic electro-optic materials To investigate the effects of different donors, acceptors, and electron bridges on the various properties of novel organic electro-optic materials.
