Octupolar Cyclotriphosphazene-Cored Self-Standing Covalent Organic Framework Membranes as Nonlinear Optical Materials: Impact of Linkage Types and Material Forms
Conjugated and processable self-standing vinylene-linked covalent organic framework membranes (COFMs) are highly demanding for photonics and optoelectronics. In this work, we have fabricated the first cyclotriphosphazene (CTP) cored vinylene-linked self-standing COFM (CTP-PDAN). For comparison purposes, we have successfully fabricated the imine-linked congener (CTP-PDA). Leveraging the inherent nonlinear optical (NLO) response of the CTP core, both membranes were directly mounted to evaluate NLO parameters using the open-aperture (OA) Z-scan technique. Direct measurement of NLO responses on membranes is advantageous and free from solvent and scattering effects, making it a more practical approach compared to the conventional dispersion mode. The OA Z-scan transmission yields a reverse saturable absorption signature exhibiting a higher NLO absorption coefficient (beta) of 58.37 cm/GW for CTP-PDAN, compared to that of the imine-linked CTP-PDA COFM (beta = 8.5 cm/GW). These results can be correlated to the efficient conjugation through the vinylene linkage in CTP-PDAN compared to the imine linked congener.
