摘要

This study explores the synthesis of difluorobenzyl compounds (BBFB, FBBP, and FBN) using a one-pot Pd-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction, highlighting their potential applications in electronics and nonlinear optics. Structural characterization was performed through 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FTIR, and UV–Vis spectroscopy. To further investigate the properties of these compounds, we conducted Density Functional Theory and Time-Dependent DFT calculations using the B3LYP/6–311 + G(2d,p) basis set. This analysis explored natural bond orbitals, frontier molecular orbitals, global reactivity parameters, nonlinear optical characteristics, and vibrational frequencies. Our results indicate that BBFB has the highest energy gap (ΔELUMO-HOMO) of 5.71 eV, compared to FBN (4.68 eV) and FBBP (5.13 eV), suggesting that BBFB is more stable and less reactive. Additionally, FBBP exhibited the highest hyperpolarizability (βtot) value of 518.91 a.u., indicating moderate potential for nonlinear optics. All three compounds (BBFB, FBBP, and FBN) show promising potential in photoelectric technology due to their nonlinear optical properties.
