Cyclic voltammetry and ultraviolet\/visible absorption spectroscopy were carried out, and proved that the side groups of the benzene derivatives played an important role in the energy gaps, and affected the third-order non-linear optical response. The maximum absorption wavelength of the series of benzene derivatives showed an obvious red-shift. Moreover, the addition of resilient electron-withdrawing groups significantly narrowed the energy levels as compared with precursors. The third-order nonlinear properties of this benzene derivative were tested by the Z-scan technique. The expected properties of this series of molecules were obtained, and it was found that the series of molecules undergoes a transition from reverse saturable absorption to saturable absorption, which has certain reference significance for a nonlinear optical field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27155006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,8]],"date-time":"2022-08-08T22:33:11Z","timestamp":1659997991000},"page":"5006","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Optical Properties of New Third-Order Nonlinear Materials Modified by Click Chemistry"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Yuzhen","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Key Laboratory of Advanced Photo-Electronics Materials and Energy Conversion Device, School of Electronic Information, Xijing University, Xi\u2019an 710123, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhenhua","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Key Laboratory of Advanced Photo-Electronics Materials and Energy Conversion Device, School of Electronic Information, Xijing University, Xi\u2019an 710123, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Key Laboratory of Advanced Photo-Electronics Materials and Energy Conversion Device, School of Electronic Information, Xijing University, Xi\u2019an 710123, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Key Laboratory of Advanced Photo-Electronics Materials and Energy Conversion Device, School of Electronic Information, Xijing University, Xi\u2019an 710123, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruijuan","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Key Laboratory of Advanced Photo-Electronics Materials and Energy Conversion Device, School of Electronic Information, Xijing University, Xi\u2019an 710123, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheng","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Key Laboratory of Advanced Photo-Electronics Materials and Energy Conversion Device, School of Electronic Information, Xijing University, Xi\u2019an 710123, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongming","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Key Laboratory of Advanced Photo-Electronics Materials and Energy Conversion Device, School of Electronic Information, Xijing University, Xi\u2019an 710123, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Physics and Chemistry, School of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"59327","DOI":"10.1039\/C6RA05000J","article-title":"Facile synthesis of functional poly(vinylene sulfide)s con-taining donor\u2013acceptor chromophores by a double click reaction","volume":"6","author":"Wang","year":"2016","journal-title":"RSC Adv."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"21","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijleo.2010.09.051","article-title":"Third-order nonlinear optical response of newly synthesized accept-er\/donor substituted propylidene aryloxy acet hydrazide","volume":"123","author":"Vijayakumar","year":"2012","journal-title":"Optik"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"610","DOI":"10.1016\/S0009-2614(02)01288-5","article-title":"Optical limiting properties of soluble poly(thienyleneethynylene)s","volume":"363","author":"Zhou","year":"2002","journal-title":"Chem.
