Funded Activity Summary

Multifunctional metal alkynyls for nonlinear optics. Developments in photonics necessitate materials with enhanced, tunable, and/or reversibly switchable nonlinear optical properties that can be used to control or process incident light beams. This project will explore new possibilities: to maximise molecular NLO properties while enhancing modulation and switching; multipolar metal alkynyl complexes will be targeted, building systematically on our preliminary results; organometallic alkynyl units will be hybridised with functional organic and coordination complex modules to develop novel multifunctional systems; and, supported nanoarchitectures will be constructed to demonstrate practical NLO switching, with potential applications in photonics technologies.
