Abstract
During this Ph.D work, we were able to synthesize a series of 2D octupoles as well as study their linear and nonlinear optical properties. These molecular architectures are known for their good NLO properties, especially their two-photon absorption properties (TPA). In this thesis, we focused most of our work on isocyanurate and triazine cored octupoles. Isocyanurates are quite understudied even though they have recently proven to be promising for TPA applications, whereas triazines were already known for their good TPA properties. In this respect we started out by the synthesis and characterization of a series of organic isocyanurates. These compounds allowed us to derive useful structure/property relationships. We also synthesized a series of analogous triazines possessing the same donor groups than the isocyanurate series, in order to be able to compare the effect of the core in these two series. This study allowed us to select two candidate chromophores for one of the applications of TPA, two-photon photodynamic therapy (2PPDT). We then focused our efforts on making hydrosoluble version of our model compounds for 2PPDT. Thanks to a collaboration with the group of Magali Gary-Bobo and Manuel Garcia (UMR 6247, Montpellier), photosensitization and biocompatibility results have been obtained in vitro and in vivo. In the last part of this work, the structure/property relationships derived on organic molecules have been used to design a new series of cyclometalated platinum complexes.
