Popis: Nonlinear optical responses are measured to investigate the role of hetropolyacid (HPA) in porphyrin-Lindqvist type {∼PM@HPA} hybrid systems, {where PM@HPA = [(TBA)8{(MTPPN4)(Mo6O18)4}]; M = 2H (1) and Mn (2)}. The well-known Z-scan technique with wavelength (λ) = 532 nm and pulse duration of τ = 6 ns is used. The results clearly show the significant enhancement in nonlinear self-defocusing effect and reverse saturable absorption under closed and open-aperture configuration for PM@HPA hybrids. It is also observed that the second hyperpolarizability γ values, {1 (4.639 × 10−29 esu) 2 (1.862 eV)} in the PM@HPA hybrid system where the porphyrin moiety acts as electron donor whilst HPA acts as electron acceptor. Therefore, the emergence of a facile electron transformation from the porphyrin moieties to the low-lying LUMO levels of HPA is mainly responsible for the enhancement in nonlinear optical responses of PM@HPA hybrids system. As a consequence the hybrid compounds can be fascinating for optical limiting applications.
