Abstract
The development of novel emissive materials is an ever-growing area of chemical research. The applications for these emissive materials include but are not limited to optoelectronics, dye sensitized solar cells, biological imaging dyes, etc. Many systems have been developed over the years that have led to understand the fundamental properties of various emissive building blocks. By characterizing these structures and the understanding of the basic nature of their behavior within varied environments, brighter more efficient molecules can be designed and synthesized. This, in turn, will lead to many benefits for society. This dissertation aims at spectroscopically characterizing newly developed molecular systems like the ones described above. These systems include metal centered CCC pincer ligands towards the development of high efficiency blue emitting molecules, and organic squaraine and indolizine-cyanine based near infrared (NIR) absorbing and emitting dyes. There also exists the potential for these materials to perform well under multiphoton excitation. A nonlinear absorption experiment has been designed and tested with the intentions of optimizing nonlinear optical effects.
