摘要

The structures of barbituric acid derivatives substituted with Schiff base were optimized using ab initio HF method at 6-31G basis set.Based on the optimized structures,the electronic spectra were obtained by INDO/CI method.The second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficients βu were calculated according to the sum-over-states (SOS) formula.In addition,the effect of conjugation on electronic spectra and second-order NLO coefficients was investigated.The influence of exchange between C and N atoms as well as the substituted effect on the barbituric acid was discussed.It was indicated that the exchange between C and N atoms on Schiff base is important for enhancing the NLO coefficient of the whole molecule with donor and acceptor (D-A).Meanwhile significant changes in electron donation and acception were observed as substituents changes positions.Among the designed models,molecule 1b has maximal βμ value of 124.65 × 10-30 esu.About molecule 1b,barbituric acid is considered as an accepted electronic group and the position of N atom on Schiff base is close to it.
