Abstract

Two electron donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) chromospheres, with ferrocene as the electron donor and pyridinium as the electron acceptor, were synthesized. The nonlinear optical absorption (NOA) properties in the solution state were investigated by the Z-scan technique. Both compounds exhibited reverse saturable absorption (RSA) and optical limiting effect under nanosecond pulse irradiation.
