The acetyl acetone and benzoyl acetone pyrene based difluoroboron scaffolds and their respective decomplexed congeners were investigated for their nonlinear optical properties in various microenvironment. The geometries of the chromophore were optimized and electronic excitation properties were estimated using time dependant density functional theory. The vertical excitation properties were found to be complimentary to the experimental results. Nolinear optical properties were evaluated using solvatochromism and Density Functional Theory. The experimental nonlinear optical properties well correlated using Mulliken Hush parameters and also compared with calculated values. CAM-B3LYP results were found to be superior over the B3LYP and BHandHLYP methods. The positive solvatochromism in emission were well explained by multilinear regression and bond length alteration.

Quantum chemical study of mixed-ligand (1: 1) adducts of tetracoordinated cobalt complexes (diketonates, bis-aminovinylketonates, and bis-salicylaldiminates) with pyrene-4,5-diimines using density functional theory (DFT B3LYP*/6-311++G(d,p)) revealed compounds possessing valence tautomeric properties. The mechanisms of intramolecular electron transfer accompanied by changing magnetic properties of the complexes under consideration were studied. It was shown that the variation of substituents at the nitrogen atoms of the diimine ligand and the donor groups in the cobalt bischelate, as well as the annulation of five- and six-membered rings to the azomethine fragment exerts a considerable influence on the stability of the formed adducts and the energy difference between their low- and high-spin isomers.
