Through comparing the linear and nonlinear optical property of two pull-push chromophores, which are composed of difluoroboron β-diketonate functionalized with carbazole and tert-butyl carbazole, the role of tert-butyl in chromosphere has been discussed in detail. The tert-butyl unit would lead to the absorption and fluorescence peak red shift and accelerate the fluorescence relaxation rate of chromophores. Moreover, the tert-butyl unit would affect obviously the two-photon optical property of chromophore according to the Z-scan test. The transient absorption (TA) data shows that these two pull-push chromopphores both own intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) characteristics and the tert-butyl unit accelerate the dynamic rate of ICT generation and relaxation process, which may be responsible for the variance of fluorescence property.
