Abstract

Two thiazole-based chromophores were fully optimized with density function theory at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. Their calculated results are in accordance with the related experiments very well. The parameters which resulted in the difference of the two chromopheres were also calculated with TD-DFT method at the same calculation level. The result indicated that the chromophore(E)-2-(5-(4-(bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino)styryl) thiazol-2-yl)ethene-1, 1, 2-tricarbonitrile(TPA-Ti5-TCV) had a larger hyperpolarizability, which was mainly due to its lower ground state to first excited state bandgap caused by the regiochemistry of thiazole.
