Novel fluorescent Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films have been constructed from three different amphiphilic dicynaoquinodimethanes (DADQs). The DADQs varied in functional group structure, which had an impact on the LB film structure and the fluorescence pr...

When a dipolar-conjugated molecule can lower its energy through gaining aromaticity, there can be a quite dramatic evolution of its polarisation properties dependent on the local reaction field generated in its environment. We have studied conjugated... Read More about Local field and aggregation dependence of the micro- and macroscopic optical non-linearity of zwitterionic molecules.
