Synthesis and optical properties of donor-acceptor tetrakis(phenylethynyl)benzenes

A simple and efficient synthesis of a series of donor-acceptor substituted 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(phenylethynyl)benzenes is described. The molecules constructed exhibit interesting optical properties. Preliminary studies show that the tetraynes hold promise as nonlinear optical (NLO) materials.
