Abstract

The synthesis of three types of functionalized benzazole structures is described. A centrosymmetric dihydroxy-benzobisthiazole has been synthesized for incorporation in flexible polymers having rigid, conjugated, third order nlo active units in the main chain. Benzazole structures terminated with an N,N-dimethylamino group and a carboxyl group have been synthesized for use as second order nlo pendants with flexible polymers. Benzazole structures terminated with an N,N-dimethylamino group and an amino group have been synthesized as precursors to second order nlo guest molecules.
