Nanoscale Push-Push Dihydrophenanthrene Derivatives as Novel Fluorophores for Two-Photon-Excited Fluorescence

Outperforming fluorescein by far, elongated fluorophores (e.g. 1) give rise to large two‐photon absorption cross‐sections σ2 in the visible‐red or NIR region and high quantum fluorescence yields Φ (see figure; GM = 10−50 cm4 s photon−1). This opens interesting prospects in the field of two‐photon mi...

Description
Summary:Outperforming fluorescein by far, elongated fluorophores (e.g. 1) give rise to large two‐photon absorption cross‐sections σ2 in the visible‐red or NIR region and high quantum fluorescence yields Φ (see figure; GM = 10−50 cm4 s photon−1). This opens interesting prospects in the field of two‐photon microscopy imaging of cell membranes.
