Abstract
Three novel triethylbenzene derivatives (B1, B2 and B3) with different substituents have been synthesized by Schiff-base and aldol condensation reaction. B1, B2 and B3 exhibit reverse saturable absorption. B1 has the lowest initial optical limiting threshold among the three derivatives because of its low energy gap. However, B3, which has a larger π-conjugate structure and electron-withdrawing carbonyl groups, exhibits strong reverse saturable absorption at higher laser energy. The synthesized triethylbenzene derivatives may be potential candidates for applications in the field of laser protection.
