Description
Summary:The development of symmetric and unsymmetric platinum(II) bis(acetylide)s as highly transparent optical limiters is described by Wong and co‐workers on page 531. Their excited state character is governed by electronic structure, which significantly affects their photophysical properties and optical power limiting (OPL) behavior. The sound OPL responses and low OPL thresholds together with their excellent optical transparency render these materials very promising candidates for practical devices for the protection of human eyes and other delicate electro‐optic sensors.
